Joseph Connery Obituary

My regards and condolences to the whole Connery family, but especially to Pat and Connie. Dr. Joe was my city H.S. principal and during that time he was a bigger than life character. We whispered his name there! In the years since I've discovered he was a big happy,family man and swimmer. I loved the image of him ( '98, Daily Herald) sliding into the pool at an area water park and most recently had the pleasure of seeing him last December,at the WWII re-enactment held on the grounds of the AHHMuseum. Once again, he was smiling.
His strong presence will carry you all through this tough time.
My husband Matt and I (SHS '71)will remember him fondly.

My mother, Mickey Zajac, was Joe's secretary when he was superintendent. I am expressing her sympathy to her family since she is not computer savy. My mother held Dr. Connery in highest regards. I remember her sharing stories when they worked together of what a great guy he was. She sends her prayers and sympathy to you in this sad time.

I was very saddened to read about the passing of Mr. Connery. I'd like to extend my deepest sympathies to the whole Connery family and especially to Chris who was a great childhood friend. My thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.

Dear Pat and Family,

I was deeply saddened when I learned about Joe's passing. My heart and prayers goes out to you in your time of sorrow. I have many fond memories of sharing laughs and visits with Joe. I wish you many blessings and peaceful prayers of comfort as you all remember your special moments with Joe as well.

I was a classmate of joe at Chicago teachers college. I remember him as one of the best students in the class. He always did well in whatever he did.

Dear Pat & Family:

Jeanne & I are sorry to learn of Joe's death. After two weeks in Florida, we arrived home last Friday afternoon. Nick Flessor had left a message on our phone, and when we returned his call we learned about Joe. He was a wonderful person with whom I became acquainted in sept '41 at CTC.

Our prayers are with you and we are asking Brian to celebrate a Mass for Joe.
God bless and love you all.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Please accept my heartfelt prayers for both you and your father, along with my sincere hope that the best of him will continue to live on through you.

Although we know that death is an inevitable part of life, there is nothing that can really perpare us for this occasion. I hope that you can take comfort in the full and rich life that your father has had. I'm sure that all the individuals who have been touched by his life will help you share all the wonderful memories you all have of him. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

To Tom and the entire Connery Family, my deepest sympathy for your loss.
