To the family of Joe and Janet Conners, Joe´s Sister.
Just found out about this thru The Judge Bulletin and I am very sorry for your loss. Joe and I played multiple sports together at Summerdale and St Martin In basketball and we were friends thru St Martin and Judge, he use to be my car buddy riding to Judge and we doubled for our Junior prom, we were involved in an automobile accident that night but we all walked away healthy which has been rolling around in my head since I heard the news. He was a good friend and a high integrity guy. Joe and I were altar boys, along with Pat Dougherty but Joe was involved in music as well and played several instruments.
He was very disciplined in terms of school work and getting things done and on occasion I would be on the receiving end of a well intentioned lecture which I had coming, he was always helpful. Later after I was married Janet became one of our neighbors on Alma St, Janet, I am so sorry for your loss.
He was a kind friend.

I can´t believe I just saw Joe´s name in the "In Memorian" section of the monthly Father Judge newsletter. Joe and I were high school classmates and college classmates at Villanova. We shared some fun and crazy times. We lost touch after college but I always expected we´d meet up somewhere. I am so sorry for his family for their loss.

I remember best his sense of humor. His love of life. His excitement every day that school was out. Although we lost touch 40+ years ago. His passing still brings sorrow for the loss of a good man.

Dear Sweeney family,
Our heartfelt thoughts are with you. The Connell family.
No winter without a spring
And beyond the dark horizon
Our hearts will once more sing ....
For those who leave us for a while
Have only gone away
Out of a restless, care worn world
Into a brighter day

Sarita, we were so sad to hear the news of Joe's death. Please accept our deepest condolences. As you know Joe and I go back to our days at Father Judge and also the Philly PD. Of course, more relevant to the current time was our Memorial Day ceremony and Joe playing the bagpipes every year for close to 15 years. He always performed as a professional and I know he was honored and proud to do so. Everyone looked forward to his part of the ceremony!
Joe is a great friend and true gentleman. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Sweeney Family: I'm very sorry for your loss. Joe was a year younger but we grew up & played on teams together at SBC. Years later we reconnected in the officiating world, Father Judge Events and sadly, funerals for mutual friends. He was a gentleman and good friend to many. The family will be in our prayers.
