Joe & I were classmates & friends at Helias (and St. Peter’s before) & we would visit at Gerbes, when I was home. I’ve lost a friend! You can bet I’ll remember him!
The Helias Class of 1957 would like to extend its sorrow over the loss of our classmate Joseph Mahlan. Our thoughts and prays are with the family at this time.
So long, Joe, you’ve been a good neighbor. The Heavenly Angels will be happy to have you on their team. God love you.
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Joe, my prayers to his family.
My condolences on the loss of your father.Mark Luetkemeyer Apt. 210
