I am saddened to hear of your loss. Joe and I played Football together at DeMatha. He was a fun loving person who always made me laugh.

He was a tough Football player who made everyone else better because of his commitment to be the best. Although time has taken us in different directions, I've never forgotten him.

May God comfort you during this time of loss.

Our daughter went to school with Teri (St Pius and Spalding), played soccer with her and we have known the MCDermott's since our daughter Rose and Terry were in grade school. I will always remember Joe with a smile on his face and always ready to listen and entertain. Cathy and I spent many Saturdays and Sundays on the Soccer field with Joe and Gail, and John and Denise. These were always fun events. God Bless Joe (Buh) and the entire McDermott family at this time of grief. The family is in our prayers.

Gail and family,

He can never be replaced and his presence will never leave us. Joe made every minute at DeMatha more fun, whether in class, in the hallways or on the field. A true DeMatha original - Beneath all the hubris was a huge generous heart. A joy to have known him.
