The Fullers in Chicago will never forget Joe McIlhon.
We have loved your entire family for years and will always have very fond memories
water skiing with Joe and all of you at Clear Lake! What fun we all had back in the day.
He helped teach all the Fuller kids ski tricks!
Heaven has gained another beautiful soul.
Cheers to Dan, Meta, Dan, John, Margaret and Joe sitting up there with our dad singing gorgeous music.
With love,
Reggie and the Fuller kids

Dear family,
I was so sorry to hear of your recent loss. I have you in my prayers and thoughts. Joe is now with his loved ones who have gone before him. They are having a great party up there singing and telling jokes. I hope you find solace in your faith and fond memories of his life and times here on this earth. I'm sure he is in a much better place.
Love Mary Kay O'Connell Edgerton

To all my McIlhon family,
We were shocked and saddened to learn of Joe's passing. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers as you gather to remember Joe's wonderful life here on earth. He is no doubt singing and harmonizing with not only our loved ones who preceded him on his journey, but also the best of the best! May time bring you peace, and family bring you comfort.
Love to you all,
Patti and Wayne Koreyasu and family

Whenever I think of you I know it will make me happy cause that's how I'll see you, always smiling, grew up with you, laughed, partied and lost track of you but it was those class reunions that would remind me of how special of a bound us Holy Trinity, Dowling, St Joseph's Academy connections meant! You will be missed by many
