To all of the McIntyres:



We were saddened to hear of Joe's death and wish we could have been in Chicago to see all of you.



Your Dad (and all of you) were a big part of our lives for a lot of years and we always marveled at the relationship your father had with each of you.



He was unique...in business and personally... and all who were fortunate enough to know him, will certainly never forget him. We share in your grief and send our best to each of you.



Love to you all,

Carol and Pat McTigue

Dear McIntyre Family:

I leaarned of Joe's passing only Monday, when I returned from vacation, and was greatly saddened by the news. Joe was a great guy in so many different ways, and was wonderful to me personally. He was warm, generous, fun-loving, and full of life. He was a tremendous influence on my life in the 12 years I worked for him. I remember many of the wise things he said and quote him often. I will miss him and remember him fondly.

Dear Susan, Big Four Sister,



I know you must be missing Joe so much. I only had the privilege of being with him a few times, but he was so much fun and made me feel very welcome. You have been one of my dearest friends for over 40 years (can you believe it) and it made me happy to see how much you and Joe truly loved and cared for one another. I am so glad you had such a wonderful man in your life. Remember all the good times and special memories, which I know you two made many.



I love you,

Lynn

Dear McIntyre Family & Dearest Sue,



With deep sympathy on the loss of this good man.



I was blessed to have known him and priveledged to care for him as his doctor for the past 10 years... I saw in him a great sense of honesty and courage ... even when he faced his most difficult challenges in recent times, his own health problems and the grief over the loss of his son.



He often shared with me how much he loved his children and Sue; he spoke with great respect about his mother and our Dear Lord. He did not pretend to be perfect but he held strong to values and morals that even time and changing thought cannot bend.



Because I saw Joe moreso during his worst times, as doctors often do, I can only marvel at what the good times must have been like ... I know that these will sustain all of you... and when you think of him there will be far fewer tears than smiles and happy remembrances of how he was part of all of you.



Goodbye, Joe, until we meet again...



With Great Respect and Deepest Sympathy,

Caroline Nawara, M.D.

Our thoughts are with you.



Joe left everyone he touched with wonderful memories of good times and someone who enjoyed every moment of life.



We were privileged to have known him.

When I came to his brother Pat's wake (to represent my family), Joe welcomed me like a long lost son and sat down and talked with me for about an hour, introducing me to everyone who approached us. His ability to be a helpful (and, of course, fun-loving) friend was something that I felt so strongly, as did everyone who met him. May we all strive to be as generous and kind.

Dear Kids,

We were so sorry to hear of your tremendous loss. Your Dad was such a fantastic guy and wonderful Father. It seems like only yesterday he was calling you kids to "come & get the wibs (ribs)". As the true Irishman he is, I know he will be telling the stories of his wonderful family and life to all of the angels and saints in heaven.

With love and our deepest sympathy, Barb & Paul Duffey

Your father will be missed by so many people, that he touched in his lifetime. He was a dear person, one hell of a great guy. I know for the short time I knew Joe, he made a difference in my life.
