JOSEPH SWEENEY Obituary

SWEENEY, Joseph Francis Age 80, of Falmouth, formerly of Everett and Milton, passed away on Friday, November 4, 2022, at home surrounded by the love and appreciation of his daughters and wife. Joe graduated from BC High and Boston College.

Joe had a strong sense of civic duty; he was elected Councilman in Everett, he also served as President during his term, and was in the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Above all that, he was a loving and supportive father and grandfather, a devoted husband, and a wonderful friend. He will be genuinely missed by all who knew him. Joe is survived by his wife, Maureen (Hanley); his children, Caitlin and her husband, Bill Uniack and Kara and her husband, Tom Egan. Four grandsons, Will and Brendan Uniack and Tommy and Charlie Egan. Two brothers, Edward Sweeney and James Sweeney. He rests in peace now with his parents, Catherine and James; and sisters, Mary Claire and Kathleen.

I stopped by Elm Rd. recently and found Joe in his usual spot in the living room, checking the news on his tablet. I asked how things were going and he said "Well, I'm not dead yet." Classic Joe, understated and practical. Not a man to mince words. He was a great husband and father, truly loved by his family. Joe was a unique and steadfastly genuine person. I always got the impression he eas comfortable with who he was, and felt no need to be anything other. I liked his comany. My love to the family. We lost a good one.

Joe was a great friend and neighbor. Upon moving to Milton 16 years ago we quickly developed a great bond as Everett natives. Over the years we had many conversations about many topics. Joe to his last days was as sharp and wise any anybody I know, and a kind and decent man. We´ll miss him dearly.

Mr. Sweeney,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served as a member of the MAANG-especially during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your Family and loved ones; I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
