Reflection was meaningfully delivered by his daughter Nicola and son Pat. Music was arranged by the Staunton brothers, Cappaduff. Fr. John Kenny thanked the Staunton family for respecting Joe’s wishes to be an organ donor.
Joe is survived by his wife, Westport born Pauline (nee Hopkins), daughters Deirdre, Martina, Nicola, Sandra and Louise and sons Alan, Pat, James, Paul and Stephen, daughters-in-law Tatyana Staunton, sons-in-law Noel Molloy and David Walsh, four grandchildren and cousins, neighbours, and a large circle of friends.
