We are grateful for the time we have shared with Joe. Being in private practice as a psychotherapist, Joe and I coordinated counseling services for folks in need especially engineers. And Michael enjoyed whole heartedly his time over a beer with Joe as well as active participation together in Paranet. Joe supported Michael throughout his career. A good friend and trusted confidant, we will miss him dearly. His playful way and honest truth telling lives on within us. With love, Patty and Michael Marchant

Kate and Famiy,
We were so saddened to read of Joe's passing today and were so glad we were able to spend time with him a few weeks ago. He was always fun to be with and we are so glad we stayed friends with you both after meeting thru the Ulster Project. Our love and prayers are with you all.

Kate and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.
Joe was one of the most positive people I met through St. Jude. I remember him always saying yes to volunteering for the Men of Saint Jude Casino night. He always made me welcomed at St. Jude. I remember him telling me that he felt like he was in a night club after hearing me cantor at mass.
I remember what a great father he was. During a bowling outing with the boys Danny just made a strike and Joe said " Just give a handshake to the center pin and you'll get a strike every time."
( slightly embellished .. it's been a few years.)
Joe .. bless you for all you have done to make this world better.

Dear Meloy family,
I'm sending each of you all of my love. Your dad was truly a legend. I feel so lucky to have had him as a coach, a friend, and an always welcomed guest stopping by on his way home from work. There was never anyone who would give such honest and much needed advice as Joe Meloy. I know my dad was at the front of the line to welcome him on the other side. You all will be in my heart.

Our hearts go out to the entire Meloy family during this sad time. Our son played for Joe on the MSOE golf team and we are so honored to have known him. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Kate & family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you upon the passing of Joe. I have fond memories of Joe, you Kate and your family.
Joe brought much love, compassion and warmth to many. He always was ever so gracious to my sons and me. He truly embraced the message of the Gospel with his interactions with his family, friends and the MSOE educational community.
It is our faith that summons us to believe that Joe’s “life is simply changed, not ended.” I hold you in prayer.
In the Risen Christ,
Fr Marvin T Knighton

Maggie & Family - I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I have such great memories of your dad from over the years, from our fun at the Harp to talking golf to seeing him in the morning at the Starbucks in the village on my way into work. I’ll be thinking of you and will keep your dad and his family and friends in my prayers.
