Rest in Peace Joseph Anthony Mescall

A kind man who dedicated his life to the service of others as a Chicago police officer. He had a genuine smile and an engaging personality.

My condolences to the family and friends Joseph Anthony Mescall on his passing. I knew him to be a man of good humor, hard work and diligence and considered him a friend. He was a good police officer.

Funny how dogs seem to know.

Joe, rest in peace. A salute to my fellow officer. May God bless your family. You were a great officer who bonded together the officers who worked with you. You were a true diplomat in handling the various and, sometimes, bizarre incidents that occurred at the 011th district desk. Your laughter was contagious. I can speak for all the officers who worked with you, they respected you and, for that, made lifetime friends. May peace be with you and your family. Your friend and fellow officer, retired Sergeant Robert Romanowski...

I always enjoyed seeing & talking to Joe in my years in 011. He seemed to always have a smile on his face was really a nice guy to be around. He was 100% police, and would do anything to help out a fellow officer in need. May God watch over you in Heaven Rest in peace Joe.

Tinking of you all at this difficult time. All our love and prayers from Cooraclare. Sorry we could not be there with ye. RIP Joe.

My deepest sympathy for the Mescall family: Joe & I worked together for
25 yrs in the 011th District - including the old Fillmore. I can't tell you how
hurt I was in his passing. All the years on-the-street hold many stories for
us. I was working the day he was injured- we didn't think he was going to make it - but, ole Joe made it- thank God! After he recovered, he was back
to his Irish humorous way. We had many good and some bad times [ mostly good times ] together. I will really miss him and I can't imagine the grieving of the family. God bless Joe and he will be in my prayers.

I am very sorry for your loss. I met Joe when I started in the 011 district in 1990 he always had a kind word for me and that smile. Never forgot him through the years for his help and kindness. May he rest in peace.

My dearest Uncle Joe, my heart is broken as I write these words and try as I might,there are no words in any language that could convey what you mean to me.
I remember so vividly the first time I saw you when you came to visit us in Ireland when I was a young boy. You were the source of so much pride to all of your family with your effortless style,warmth,generosity and genuine goodness. You turned heads wherever you went but your modesty shone through all the adulation. The days we all spent together during your visit are some of the best memories of my life.
Later I visited you in Chicago and your generosity was limitless. When I remarked that I liked your Claddagh ring,you quietly slipped out of the house,came back an hour later and said,"here ya go Kid"and you handed me a box containing a Claddagh ring exactly like yours. I treasure it. I thank you for all you did for so many. You gave your all to those you loved and never wanted anything in return except to see the people you cared for possess a smile of happiness. Your whole life was one of giving; to your family,your neighbors,fellow Police Officers,your community and even strangers who were down on their luck. Go and sit with the angels Uncle Joe,our loss is their gain.
I love you beyond measure.I carry you in my heart.
I will see you on the other side.

Dear Marlene, Margaret and Kenneth we are so saddened to hear of your loss and offer our deepest condolences to the family. Philippians 4:6,7

Dearest Uncle Joe,
May the heavens sing in rejoice as you enter through the gates.
God Bless & Rest in Peace. X

Very sorry to hear of Joe's passing away.Joe sure did a lot back in the 1970's & 80's to help Police Officers organize and form a union.God Rest his soul.

God rest you brother Joe, you will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with Catherine, Kenneth and all the family. From Paddy Eileen and family..

Life can sometimes be so messy and unfair. Joe had exceptional re-bar in his soul and it served him and his family (and the CPD) very well as he moved thru life, and even after his accidental injury and decline. It was always good to bump into him on the street...the conversation was always stimulating. May he know God's peace now, far beyond the messiness and unfairness of this life. Prayers for you as you mourn his absence here.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

May the powerful words recorded in the Bible at Matthew 5:4 encourage and strengthen your saddened heart.
