Joseph Hamilton McBratney, Jr.
Joseph McBratney, 84, passed way on March 22 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. He is survived by his wife Cass, of 63 years, his daughter Kathy Hall McBratney, and his son Paul McBratney, along with 4 grand children and 6 great grand children. Mr. McBratney was born in Philadelphia and was one of 7 children born to Joseph and Agnes McBratney, who emigrated to the U.S. from Ireland. He had a long and happy career as a Department of Defense specialist in supply where he rose to become an expert in Federal supply systems. He had a life long love of model trains, which grew into a business in retirement. A celebration of his life will be announced at a later time.
Dear Aunt Cass, Paul and Kathy,
I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Joe was a kind, compassionate gentleman with a quirky sense of humor. I believe the sense of humor was a family trait as I saw it in my Mom, as well. In time, all your fond memories will help heal your heartbreak. Love to you all. Robin
