He was an accomplished ballroom dancer, dancing many times a week both in the Boston area and upon retirement in Fort Lauderdale Florida.
Joe was a true gentleman, being such a private soul he would be surprised to realize how much he will be missed by the Jesuit Community at Boston College, many generations of nieces and nephews from the late , Winifred O’Connor Meek, Margaret O’Connor Kennedy , Patrica O’Connor Ridge ,John (Jack) O’Connor and Maureen O’Connor McDonald. his god children Irene Mayberry and Jeffrey Kennedy.
The dancing community at Gold Coast ballroom, along with friends in Fort Lauderdale Florida and Massachusetts

In lieu of flowers the Jesuit community and Joes family would be honored for you to buy a plant and think of joe as it blooms. Or donations to a charity of ones choice.
