Joseph Farran

My deepest sympathies go out to everyone who was lucky enough to have known Joe Farran. My uncle Joe was the nicest and most amazing person you’ll ever know. His passing left all who knew him heartbroken. Those who knew him know how great of a person he was, and he will be greatly missed. I know now that you’re at peace, and I will see you again soon. I will miss you so much and never forget you. You have made such an impact on my family and myself and we will forever be grateful for the time we’ve spent with you. Prayers for our family as we mourn the death of a very loved and well known man.

Joe’s sister Carmella and my mom Pat Chafin were lifelong friends, all the years I’ve known Joe I always remember his greeting , he always called everyone babe, for years and years , he was a hard worker and a people person, Rest easy Joe, my sympathy to his family

To all family and friends: you have my sympathy for the loss of the kindest, happiest, most gentle, loving man. My uncle Joe Farran was the type of man that would bring a smile to anyone’s face just by greeting you. He had an infectious laugh and personality. He would greet you with such excitement that it was hard to not love him. He would say with glee “Hey! How are you, good looking?” or “That’s my buddy!” In the middle of cutting someone’s hair, he would stop what he was doing to run over and give you a hug. He asked about everyone and was just fun to be around. He never had anything bad to say about anyone and was more worried about everyone else’s problems than his own. He loved having the company, especially his customers, family, and friends. There has never been a barber who could replace him, nor will there ever be one. Not only did he give you a haircut, he gave you caring, heartfelt conversation with a few jokes that made you want to stay afterwards. You would leave like a new handsome man with a smile and it made you want to come back for more. He was my barber for many years and I haven’t cut my hair since he cut it last time. Sadly, I (like all his customers) will need to search for a new barber, which is hard to do, because my Uncle Joe can’t be replaced. He can and will be remembered. His memories will always be with us in our hearts. Life has its challenges, filled with ups and downs, and people tend to stay busy and don’t get to spend enough time with each other as they would’ve liked to. I wish I could’ve spent more time with him. He will be missed, but never forgotten. I know he misses us all as much as we miss him, but he wouldn’t want us to feel sad for him. He would want us to smile and know that he is at peace with God, his sister, parents and other loved ones that were waiting for him. Aunt Mary, Joey and your family as well as my dad (Mike) and my family: I love you all very much and if you need anything, please let me know.

To my best friend Joe , I will never forget your
Kindness and generosity . God rest you in peace !

Mary Alice & Joey,

I was at a loss for words when I seen Joe had passed. I will never forget the times we shared together and all the laughs we had. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mary you are an amazing woman and always been there for everyone else, you are a loving mother and wife who would give up everything to keep your family safe and happy. Please let me know if there is anything you need.
