It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Joseph Michael O'Malley Sr. who departed peacefully on March 2, 2023, at the age of 80, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and service that will endure for generations to come.

Joe was a man of extraordinary character and values. His love for his wife, Maria, was the foundation of his remarkable life. Together, they spent 55 beautiful years building a loving family and their marriage was a true testament to the power of love with a devotion to each other that never faltered. They were blessed with 5 children: Jennifer (Vince), Joseph (Heather), Patrick (Lori), Brendan (Agatha), and Teague. Joe was a devoted father who took an active interest in his children's lives, always encouraging them to pursue their dreams and supporting them in all of their endeavors. He was a patient listener and a wise advisor, and they turned to him for guidance and comfort throughout their lives. His unwavering love and support while encouraging them to pursue their dreams and make a positive difference in the world were a constant source of their strength and inspiration.

Joe's love expanded to his eight grandchildren: Ella, Natalie, Mia, Justin, Keira, AJ, Sophia, and Melina. Agrandfather who adored his grandchildren, always taking a keen interest in their lives and offering his love and guidance whenever they needed it. His grandchildren affectionately called him "Pop-Pop Muffinman," a name that brought a smile to his face every time he heard it.

Joe's distinguished legal career was a testament to his dedication and hard work and he loved every minute of it. After earning his JD from Villanova Law, he joined the FBI as a Special Agent. After his service, Joe spent an impressive forty-four years in transportation law, holding senior Counsel positions at the Reading Company, Conrail, Bethlehem Steel and SEPTA.

Joe's faith was an essential part of his life. He was an active parishioner, a man who made people feel welcomed and loved, and never missed an opportunity to aid those in need. Because he was quiet and humble, we will never know how many people he helped. He instilled the values of faith, family, and service in his children and grandchildren.

As a member of Whitemarsh Valley Country Club, Joe was an avid golfer and loved the Jersey Shore, and St. Simon’s and Pawley’s Islands.

Joe was a loving and supportive husband, father, grandfather, and friend to all. He cherished every moment spent with his beloved family and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Her first job was at "Sears on the Boulevard" where she met the love of her life, Frank Carlin, who cherished and worshiped her as his loving wife until he passed in 2006.  They bought a home in Fox Chase in 1952 and gave their three children and grandchildren the best of everything including trips to Disney World, vacations at the Jersey Shore and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Fort Lauderdale and Surfside, Florida and provided them with a good solid education but most importantly, they showered them with love and affection and made them feel like they could be and do anything they set their hearts and minds to. Her children were mesmerized by the beauty of their mother and proud that she was the most fashionable well dressed woman every Sunday morning at St. Cecilia's Church. After her husband died, she was very independent and stayed in her home until she fell and broke her wrist in 2016.

There was also no escaping his pop quizzes on the Federalist Papers and American history to which the common reply was "Grandpop, if I knew there was going to be a quiz, I would have studied." He was a voracious reader and loved sharing his reading list with all. He made lifelong friends while coaching the Olney Eagles and enjoyed traveling and dining through the years.
