Joseph Hennessy Obituary

Joe hired me right out of college in the 1973-with no experience doing anything.

I learned how to sell. My father taught me how to work hard and Joe taught me how to sell.

I went on from River Oaks and started my own business and still have it after 47 years.

Outside of my Father- Joe was one of the biggest influences in my life.

Thank you Joe--Mike Noonan

My condolences to the Hennessy family. I am deeply saddened to hear of Mr Hennessy's passing. So many fond memories, words can't convey. My thoughts and prayers go out for him and his family from the Harmon family. Myself, Dan, and Enise. I pray he and my father, Dave Harmon, are laughing together in Heaven. Mr Hennessy was deeply respected and honored by all of us. 342

To Mrs. Hennessy and Family:

In September of 1983, Joe Hennessy took a chance on a young, inexperienced 20 year old to be a salesman at River Oaks Ford. I am forever greatful for the opportunity Joe gave me. More than simply a boss, Joe was a mentor.

My sincerest condolences to the family. Joe rests in peace now.

my condolences to all the family.
I worked for Joe as a car salesman in Calumet City-my first job after school.
He was a true mentor to me. I had absolutely no selling skills but I was a hard worker. he must have seen in that in me because he helped me immensely to succeed in sales. he was tough but encouraging. I have stayed in sales since 1973 and own my own business since 1975. I can honestly say if it wasn't for Joe I would not be where I am today. outside of my Father Joe was my single greatest influence in my life.
Rest in peace Joe and Thank you.

Sorry to hear of Joe's passing. What a great man. I always looked forward to joe and Amy coming into bakers square in lansing for lunch. Very sad to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Stella and Family:

Please accept our deepest sympathies on Joe's passing. We were very fortunate to have known him and know he will be missed by his many friends and family. The loving family you & Joe have created is there for you now.

Most sincerely,

Bill & Bette Svatik (Ford Motor Company Retiree)

My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Hennessy, John and all the family.

I am so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. It seems like yesterday when I met Joe while doing some work at his house, over 25 years ago. I was only in my late teens at the time and he treated me with the utmost respect and kindness. He greeted me with a hand shake and that wonderful smile that we all know. Just moments later, out walks John in his suit, with the same kindness that I received from Joe and off they both went to River Oaks Ford. I have been friends with both of them since and have come to know the rest of his loving family over the years. He was one of a kind and will be deeply missed.

Words cannot express my sorrow at the passing of Mr. Hennessey. He was in my life as far as I can remember. The friendship he had with my dad, Rod Cyrier, was phenominal. The laughter and the joking around they did I will never forget! He was one of my true hero's and he will forever be in my heart!

Our deepest sympathy to the Hennsey family.

he was always a good man to me and i thought he didnt know me he said goodmorning LARRY im sorry to see him go

My prayers are with the family.

He left a wonderful legacy in his family

My thoughts and prayers are with the Hennessey family. I remember visiting Nina at her parent's house in the 80's her dad asking "Who has a GM car in my driveway? It must be Nina's friend from college." It's one of my favorite memories of Mr. Hennessey.
