Joseph A. Connolly, passed away peacefully, at the age of 89, on Saturday May 19, 2012 at Wolfeboro Bay Care.
Born June 6, 1921 in Boston, MA, Joseph was the devoted and beloved husband of Katherine M. Connolly for 64 years, who passed away on February 4, 2011, at the age of 89.
He is the much loved and respected father of Richard J. Connolly of Glendale, CA, Paul M. Connolly of Troy, MI and Kathy Connolly, who passed while in the 8th grade. He is greatly missed by his two sons and other relatives and friends. Joseph was an outstanding role model as a husband, father and friend.
He served in the US Army during World War II, rising through the ranks to Sergeant. He saw duty in France, Germany and in Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge.
Upon returning home from Europe, Joseph went to work at Walworth Manufacturing, while attending evening classes at Bentley University, followed by earning a degree from Northeastern University.
After a few years working as a civilian employee with the United States Air Force in Germany, Joseph returned home with his wife Katherine and three children. Upon his return, he took a position with Davidson Rubber Company of Dover, NH. Following the sale of Davidson Rubber Company to McCord Corporation of Detroit, MI, Joseph assumed the position of Corporate Treasurer and the family relocated to Detroit, MI. After many years as Corporate Officer, Joseph retired from McCord Corporation in 1980.
His full robust laugh and his singular singing ability will be missed.
