Joseph Arthur Kiernan

July 27, 1943 - March 10, 2015

Mr. Joseph Arthur Kiernan, 71, passed away on March 10 in his home surrounded by his two children and a cherished friend. He is predeceased by his parents Joseph and June Kiernan; his sister Patricia (Kiernan) Fedderwitz and his beloved companion of 15 years Margaret Devlin. Joseph is survived by his brother Michael Kiernan of Lakewood, N.J.; his son Joseph Patrick Kiernan of Cinnaminson, N.J.; his daughter Cathleen Ann (Kiernan) Kunkle of Egg Harbor Township, N.J.; two sons-in-law Joseph Kunkle and Thomas Schachtele; dear friends Mr. & Mrs. Baldwin of Gloversville, N.Y.; former wife of 20 years Diane McCarthy of Toms River, N.J.; and Sassy the cat, his constant companion. Born and raised in Jersey City, N.J., he raised his family and lived in Ocean County, N.J. for more than 20 years. Joseph retired to Northville, N.Y., and subsequently Gloversville, N.Y. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Saint Peter’s University in Jersey City, N.J., was a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Pine Tree Rifle Club and was a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. Throughout his life Joseph enjoyed fishing, was an avid automobile enthusiast, enjoyed music, fine dining and time spent with his family and close friends. He is remembered fondly by all who knew him for his wry sense of humor, his gentle soul and most importantly his uncommon gift of kindness towards others. Funeral services will be held at Gloversville Funeral Home located at 4 Second Avenue, Gloversville, N.Y. Visitation is Thursday, March 12 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with a memorial service in the same location from 11 a.m. to Noon on Friday, March 13. Joseph will be laid to rest at Saint Mary’s of the Lake Cemetery in Lakewood, N.J. this Spring (May) “when the grass is green” as he wished.
