Joseph M. Qualey Jr., 76

Joseph Martin Qualey Jr., 76, of Naples passed away unexpectedly at his home on Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012. He was born in Casco on May 30, 1936, son of a Persis and Martin Qualey. He married Pat (Plummer) on June 7, 1957.

“Neighbor,” as he was known by many friends, retired from the Sebago Lake State Park and upon retirement worked at P&K Sand and Gravel. He enjoyed the outdoors, working in his gardens, and visiting the local coffee shop in the early morning hours. Joe spent 50 years volunteering for the Naples Fire Department. He was always eager to lend a helping hand to anyone, and will be sadly missed by all.

Joe is survived by his wife, Pat, of 54 years, and their three children: Scott Qualey and wife Staci, James Qualey, both of Naples, and Jill Flagg and husband Todd of Fryeburg; several siblings, Mabel Heino, Reg Qualey, Sadie Gilkey, and Teresa Heino. Two grandchildren, who meant the world to him, are Joseph Scott Qualey Jr. and Hannah Elizabeth Flagg.

Graveside services will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Crooked River Cemetery at 11 a.m. Arrangements are by Hall Funeral Home, Casco.
