Joseph F. Cronin, Jr.

I am missing your beautiful smile & Irish eyes smiling at me when you are teasing me. I will miss your advice & wisdom. You were always there for me & my family. My children will always look to you as there hero. Love you, Dad!

I was one of the lucky young engineers at Hill AFB to enjoy the friendship and career counseling from Joe. He was a great friend to me - was always there when I needed him. He left some unfilled shoes at Hill when he retired. God Bless Him!!

May the light of heaven shine upon your grave. Erin go bragh! I miss you papa Joe.

Dad, I see who I want to be in your beautiful smiling Irish eyes. Thinking about you puts a smile in my heart.l In my eyes you will always be the biggest, the strongest and the smartest daddy ever! Most of all you will always be the wisest daddy. You were always my go-to guy. Whatever I needed I know that I can always count on you. My heart is broken, and yet rejoicing for you. You are home with so many loved ones. I fondly remember dancing with you while standing on your feet. I know you are a healthy young guy now cuttin' up a rug with your sweetheart mom. Love you so much...always and forever, Shelly

My condolences to your family at this time. Though I never met him, I can see him living through the works he did. Love and prayers, Lisa Forrester

To all of Joe's family, we send our heartfelt condolences. Both Tom and I how hard it is to lose parents, please know that we are thinking of you all. The Mitchells

I imagine you are dancing with a angel named Marilyn right now - the sweetest wife, mom, and nanny in heaven! I Love You Dad

Dad, you were a wonderful spirit who filled every moment of your life with adventure, giving, and love. You were a gentleman and a great example to us all. Sean, Colin, Michael, and Jonathan are better people because they learned from the grandpa they loved so much. Pat often reminisces about how you kept his Volkswagons running and helped our family while he attended Medical School. You were the greatest Dad and I always knew I could count on you. I am one grateful daughter and I will love you forever.

We will miss our friend. Many good times and lots of memories of our Elk years.
