Mr. Joseph Thomas Kearney

May 6, 1935 - November 7, 2019

Joseph T. Kearney, 84 years old, died on Thursday morning, November 7, 2019 at Lakewood Ranch Hospice House in Lakewood Ranch, FL. He was born in Philadelphia, PA on May 6, 1935. Son of the late Hugh and Gladys (Bischoff) Kearney. He grew up in Philadelphia. Worked for Horn & Hardart's in Philadelphia. Joined the Army in 1959 and was honorably discharged in 1961. He worked for Trimfit, Inc. until his retirement. He moved from Norristown, PA to Port Charlotte, FL in the late 90's where he resided until his death. He had many wonderful friends and neighbors in Florida who tirelessly helped him when he needed it. No words can express how much I thank them. Joe enjoyed bowling, bingo and the casino. He was an extremely avid animal lover, especially his indoor (Faith and Hope) and outdoor cats. In 1985, he selflessly donated one of his kidneys to his sister, Geraldine. By doing so, she lived another 20 years. He is survived by his sister, Joan Drabczyk, Staten Island, NY, plus many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sisters Gladys McKennon, Patricia Bailey, Geraldine DiGrazia and his brother, William. Interment will be on December 6 at Washington Crossing National Cemetery, 830 Highland Road, Newtown, PA 18940. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his name to: Animal Welfare League, 3519 Drance St., Port Charlotte, FL 33980; Community Cats of Charlotte, P.O. Box 380755, Murdock, FL 33938 or Meals on Wheels, 3082 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, FL 33952. Arr. Shelly-Dinan Funeral Home, Lansdale, PA Condolences may also be sent to www.dinanfuneralhome.com
