I am deeply saddened that my dear, and best friend, Joe Ebberwein has succumbed to this terrible virus which has claimed so many fine lives throughout the world over the past 18 months. Joe and I have enjoyed a most special friendship and Brotherhood over some 72 years when we bonded as young Cadets of Benedictine Military School for a mutual friendship that was sustained through long separations by Time and Distance as we pursued our Families' lives , careers, and destinies. My many and varied Memories of our shared times include B.C., The Monks, Multiple trips to Notre Dame, Ireland, and yes, Tybee, and finally our renewed sharing of time as I returned Home in 2007 in Retirement. Joe's most gracious and selfless manner and concern for my welfare was so evident when I lost Judy Collins Daniels, 2 years ago after 64 years. His was the epitome of the old adage" A friend in need, is a friend indeed". Joe cherished dearly his Catholic Faith, and Irish Heritage, and I extend sincere condolences to the entire Family at this most difficult of times. I know you are comforted in the sure and certain Faith that He has passed through Death to Life forever with our Blessed Lord and Mary Immaculate. Jack

John and all the Ebberweins, I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. Joe was a great guy. Always a light, I'm remember the time he sang at my brother's funeral, but I also remember him dancing with a backwards baseball cap at at John's 50 birthday. I'm sure he is spreading his joy in Heaven now.

- Joe DeLorme, Savannah, Ga

Harriet, I can't begin to imagine your pain in losing precious Joe. I met Joe when he opened his office in Charleston in the 1970's and can honestly say, in all of these years, I don't believe I ever saw him without a smile on his face. You will recall our trip to the Notre Dame game with the James right after Hurricane Hugo. What fun we had! May God hold you and the family wrapped in his ever-loving arms as you go through your grief journey.

- Jackie Adamson, Charleston, SC

It is with sorrow that I learn of the passing of Joe Ebberwein. He was a wonderful man filled always with kindness, compassion and a song in his heart. My mother was always thrilled when he would dedicate a song to her, even at the cemetery when we buried her. The Angels will have another member in their chorus. May he RIP you will be missed.

Joe was a great Catholic, Irish-American friend. Joe would call me when he came through Augusta on business. We saw him almost every time we visited my sister Sandy & Dan and brother Robbie & Kelly.

This will always be our memory of Mr. Ebberwien: Job well done sir! Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 English Standard Version 12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers! Joe was always so pleasant, you couldn't help but like him. He will be missed by all who knew him. I met him while he worked at the GPA and I'm so glad I got that opportunity to get to know him. May your hearts begin to heal so that your tears will turn to smiles as you remember your times spent with him. This is not goodbye, but rather, take care until you see him again. God is taking care of him now until you meet again.

This is such a huge loss for the Savannah Irish Catholic community and I am so sorry that this wonderful man will be deprived of the full tribute at the Cathedral that he so richly deserves. I remember him at my late brother’s funeral….last time I saw him. Actually we had a lot in common with his love of Notre Dame. My husband Don Gayhardt and our son, Don Gayhardt, JR attended Notre Dame and I believe Joe’s son was in the class of 1986. Since condolences to all of the Eberwein family and RIP Joe.

- Nancy Harris Gayhardt, Annapolis, MD

- Shirley and Tony Ryan, Savannah, ga

The McMillan family will miss you dearly Joe. My mom Claire and Joe were classmates at Sacred Heart and remained close lifelong friends, in good times and bad. Mom and I both had the honor or working at JK Ebberwein in Savannah and Charleston in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Joe gave me my first real job and I will always be grateful. He didn’t really need another employee at the time, but I needed help and he came through for a friend. That was Joe, always. Not only was he a mentor and faithful family friend, but one of the most kind, patient, generous, and selfless people I have ever known. Lifting spirits and giving comfort and help whenever he could. To the Ebberwein family, you are all in my prayers and I hope your sadness is eased knowing how much good Joe did for so many in his time here on earth.

- Karen M. McLean , Mt.Pleasant, SC

Joe was one of the kindest gentlemen that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His devotion to his family and his devotion to God served him well throughout his life. Remember many days Joe, Tony Heidi and I would go to all you can eat clams day at Howard Johnson’s. And thanks Joe for all of the invitations to join your table at Hibernian Banquet. Savannah has lost a fine person and good Catholic son. Godspeed my friend !

- Bobby and Suzanne Everette, Savannah, Ga

It is with great sorrow I feel with the passing of Joe. He was a dear friend for many years and was always very kind to everyone he met.

My condolences and apologies for not being able to attend the services this weekend. Mr. Ebberwein constantly checked in on me and my family during my wife's illness and, in typical fashion, he called from the hospital to check on me after my wife passed earlier this month. One of the most kind men I have ever known. Savannah won't be the same without him.

- Jeffrey Mahany, Savannah, GA

Joe was like an uncle to me when I was young, and was a dear friend when I was older. I consider Joe the epitome of kindliness and empathy. When he would sing Danny Boy, I smiled even as I teared up every time. As I am doing as I write this. RIP to a wonderful human being who brightened the world every day of his life.

- Matt Powers, Springfield, GA

My deepest condolences to the Ebberwein family. Joe was truly one of a kind and one of the loveliest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Joe and our mom Claire had been lifelong friends since childhood. I have so many wonderful memories of Joe throughout the years. When our mom became ill, Joe continued to show up in the kindest most compassionate ways. Each visit was the highlight of her day as he always brought us smiles ,laughter, lively conversation and news of old friends and new. His friendship was a blessing to our entire family. Joe will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Dearest Harriett and to the Ebberwein family, we loved Joe so very much. We will never forget the great times we had, his singing Danny Boy at our parties and having y’all as the best neighbors ever. We are sad but know that Heaven gained an angel. They didn’t come any better than Joe. May his memory be eternal ✝️❤️

- Crystal and Steve Nelson, Palm Coast, FL

I am saddened by the death of this good man. I didn’t know Joe before he joined the staff at Fox & Weeks. It has been a joy to work with him these last several years. With his easy smile, constant positivity and genuine concern for those on staff and the families we served he was a welcome drama free zone. His devotion to his family, his church, and his friends was an inspiration to all who knew him. He and Harriet became wonderful friends and confidants over the years. An evening on their deck or their boat with fun conversation, great food, and superb cocktails was always a welcome treat. Joe was one of the most thoughtful husbands I have ever known and adored his children and grandchildren. He was a consummate gentleman and a true friend. I will miss him.

- Joe Wall, Savannah , GA

I stand corrected. It was Michael Bart not Tony Heidt that enjoyed clams with Joe and me.

My deepest sympathy to the Ebberwein family on the loss of Joe. My mother, Martha Dowling Foster, was Joe’s cousin & I have fond memories of his visits to Jacksonville, Fl. to see my family when I was young, oftentimes bringing his Mom with him. What I remember most was his big smile & effervescent personality, and that he always took the time to show an interest in me, my sister & two brothers even though we were just kids at the time. Please know I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts & prayers. God Bless! Carol Foster Perkinson

I send my deepest sympathy and prayers to the family.
