Dear Maureen,
Your father was my uncle, and although I only met him a few times, he made a lasting impression on me. I remember the fun we had at IrishFest in Milwaukee, the three of us: my father John, Joe, and me, in the late 1980s. Several years later, my husband, my father and I made a trip to Berea to visit Joe, and had a marvelous time there. The last time I saw Joe was at a Mooney family reunion in Shell Rock, Iowa, in 2002. Although it was a bittersweet reunion, since my father had passed on by that time, it was wonderful to see my uncles, aunts and cousins again. I had a lovely chat with your dad that day, and will never forget his love of life and sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Joe was a great friend to my parents Nate and Verna and his kids were my best friends. When I look back fondly on growing up in Racine I will always remember the great times with Joe, Molly and their kids.

Joe was the most memorable teacher I ever had. He inspired his students to achieve excellence. I will always remember his intelligence and sense of humor.

For those of us who were hard-core "theater freaks" in high school, the JL Mooney theater was our home away from home, and Mr. Mooney made it a comfortable and supportive place to learn and to hang out. He wasn't one to mince words or always spare feelings when there was something to be said, but we all knew how much he cared about our productions, our classes, and, most importantly, about us. Thanks to him, there are many, many former Horlick students who have carried a love for the theater from high school into our adult lives.

To the family
Joseph Mooney was a wonderful person who gave his all to making sure students not only learned the class material but took something away for life. He was a good man, a wonderful teacher and will be missed.
