Goodbye Joe
Posted by mdigennaro | Filed under Website News
Early Wednesday morning we received the heartbreaking news that our friend, Joe O’Neill had succumbed to cancer and gone home to God. Joe’s last months were spent inspiring many, something he had done his entire life. His courage, sense of humor, and refusal to accept pity represented strength that surprised no one who knew him.
Joe dedicated his life to others and was as selfless a person as any we knew. He was infinitely proud of his four daughters and doted on his grandchildren. And for 40 years Joe was devoted to his students, athletes, friends, and colleagues at St. Mark’s High School. When school opens in the fall of 2009, it will do so without Joe O’Neill the guidance counselor, the cross-country coach, the beloved friend – for the first time.
Joe’s love of sport knew no bounds, but it was cross-country that never let him go. Every autumn for 40 seasons, Spartan harriers came out by the dozens. When they left, they did so not only as better runners, but more importantly as better people and better Christians. And richer for having known Coach O’Neill.
Joe O’Neill’s passing leaves us profoundly saddened. His counsel and friendship to us can never be replaced. Beyond our personal loss, however, is the loss to the entire community. Joe touched more lives than any of us could know. His influence is far-reaching. His legacy of kindness, passion, and generosity will live forever.
Joe shared with us several months ago that he had decided in June – before he became ill – that his 40th cross-country season would be his last. We take great comfort in knowing that Joe ended his extraordinary career on his own terms. No other way would have been worthy of the man.
Joe was truly a larger than life character, if there ever was one. Cross-country will never be the same. Nor will we.
Joe, we will miss you. We love you. We thank you. For everything.

They also had an individual 1st place finish from sophomore Dawan Smith in the 200M.
