shocked to read about Joe Meegan's passing. Much to young and to soon. Joe was a great guy to work with, Always willing to help out. A quiet and unsung hero of Eng. 17

So sad. We fought a lot of fires together in the 70's. He was one of the good guys.
Does anyone know the cause of death?

Hi Carl
Artie Sampson told me he had a heart attack while at the gym-taken to hospital and
remained in a coma for about a week. He didn't appear to have had a history
of heart problems.
I did call him about 2 weeks before his death regarding the Dinner/Dance;
he seemed fine and we reminisced about the old days.
I walked into Broome St with him in late '69 with Artie, Rosie, Watson, Planeta,
and Burns.
I did get to the Funeral Mass and had a short chat with his wife and son. He was
respected by all for his Fire Fighting and outstanding moral character. He will
be sorely missed.
