Kennelly, Joseph George (1914-2006) - The Kennelly family is both sad and joyful to announce the passing of Joseph in his 93rd year, on Wednesday, July 26th, 2006. Sad because we have lost a beloved Father and friend. Joyful because Dad will experience the Resurrection and be reunited with his beloved Margaret (2000). Joseph was predeceased by his brothers Gerald and Jack and by his sister Lillian and his sister-in-law Kay (James). He is survived by his sons Paul (Janet Casali), Patrick (Mariann) his daughter Theresa (Michael Tessier), his brother James (Kathy), sister Delores (Jack Doherty), sister-in-law Alice and by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. A graduate of Cathedral Boys High School, Joseph entered the Society of Jesus and continued his studies at Guelph, Regis College in Toronto and Loyola College in Montreal. In 1936 Joseph along with his debating partner, Frank Jensen, won the Inter-University Debating Award for Canada and then went on to defeat Boston College. This same year Joseph won the Dent-McCrae Award for Scholastic Excellence in Writing, the first Ontarian to do so. Joseph graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Montreal in 1937. Released from the Jesuits in 1937, Joseph continued his love and service to the Jesuits by his lifelong support of the Jesuit International Missions, especially in Bhutan, India and Nepal. Returning to Hamilton in 1938, Joseph met his beloved Margaret and began his professional career as a General Insurance Broker under Wilf Ford and in 1940 began the Joseph G. Kennelly Insurance Agency. Over the next forty years Joseph worked with like-minded Agents to promote and maintain their code of ethics and professionalism by attending regular seminars and days of study. Joseph was active in the Credit Union Movement, the Catholic Laymen's Retreat Movement and the assistance to Refugees Movement. For fifteen years Joseph chaired the Christian Culture Forum, a project of the Hamilton Newman Club, which brought to a Hamilton audience world known speakers from various disciplines. He enjoyed helping to organize and take part in Biblical studies and was the first Catholic layman to be appointed to the Canadian Bible Society. In 1968 Joseph was named the Newman Club's Catholic Man of the Year. But always, Joseph's love and care was for his beloved Margaret and his family with whom he shared his faith and belief that all should be done "ad majorem Dei gloriam" (to the greater glory of God). A special thank you to the wonderful Nurses and Staff at St. Peter's Hospital, Two West, especially Jane Noble. You were a godsend.

Love each other for my sake

They walk beside you every day.
