My thoughts and prayers are with the McFadden family today. Joe was a great teammate who turned himself into a heck of a wrestler. More importantly, he was a person of great character and a great sense of humor. I will always remember the fun times we had wrestling for Wood and our 1980 PCL championship team.

In the 70's I use to walk out my back door and jump over the fence and ask if Jim and Joe could come out to play. They were my neighbors and my first friends. We played sports, fort, motorbikes, spring. We also helped the Mc Fadden's move into their doylestown home with Mrs. MecFadden pointing the way in 1976. Joe was more than our heavyweight wrestler, he was our friend and protector. The years go by but I remember them fun memories we had of playing ice hockey and swimming, skiing in the poconos. I will miss Joe but I know god has reserved a special place in his kingdom for his beautiful soul.

My condolences to Joe' family. I will carry lasting memories of good times and trying times with Joe at Wood wrestling. I'll always remember the upstate NY wrestling trip and how frozen Joe, Fitz and I got on the slopes of Lake Placid. Joe, I'm honored to say I knew you and wish I'd have had just half your wrestling abilities. You will be missed but as we Irish say always remembered
May you be in Heaven a half hour before the devil knows.
