Joseph McMahon

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two willing hands at rest,
God broke our heart's to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Each time I tend the roses and shrubs you helped me select on my trips to Scalpwood, I am reminded of shared memories and stories told over tea and dinner at the kitchen table of my late mother Teresa Mac Mahon (Todd), who always looked forward to your regular visits, particularly at Christmas - heartfelt thank you for all you did to brighten our lives.
Your green fingers will be put to good use in Heaven and may you rest in peace, for ever and ever - Your cousin Eugene.

PS - to all those who visited Joseph in hospital & nursing home, sent Mass Cards and expressed their condolences in person and via telephone / internet, thank you for your kindness, which is greatly appreciated by all of us who were, and are blessed to have known Joseph Mc Mahon.

Rip Joe Condolences from all at hinde exports

My heartfelt sympathy, David, to you and all your family.

Our heartfelt sympathy to Joe’s family and friends. May he rest in peace.

I have just heard the news of Joe’s passing. Such sad news. I have fond memories of long chats with Joe when I worked in Blackrock Clinic. He was so rightly proud of those grounds. I will remember him fondly and through the many plants from Scalp Wood in my garden. May he rest in peace.

Cousin Joseph will always be remembered with love and affection by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He had a kind word for everyone and did many acts of kindness in his quiet gentle way. He will be sadly missed.May he rest in peace.

So shocked and saddened to hear of Joseph's passing. Deepest sympathy to Joe's family and friends on their loss. I will be forever grateful to Joseph for his kindness offering his expert advice and help to create my Spring garden. May Joseph's gentle soul sleep in Heavenly Peace.

My family and I were deeply saddened to hear of Joseph’s death and we tender our sincere sympathies and condolences to the McCarthy and McMahon families in their bereavement.

We will remember Joseph with fondness, as a very kind and learned gentleman of quiet disposition, a country man at heart who loved the land. There are trees still growing that knew his touch and are the taller for it.

May he Rest in Peace, in the beautiful garden of Glencullen amid the fields of flowers and heather, forever reunited with his dear Mother Mary and his Father Frank in Heaven.

Ceol na n-aingeal go gcloise sé agus leaba i measc na naomh go raibh aige🕊️

It is with sadness that I heard of Joseph 's death.

Our families go back in time. His father Frank's chemist shop in Booterstown , the many evenings in Cabinteely, and the great friendship of our parents.

Rest in Peace, Joseph

Our deepest sympathies to Joe’s family, loyal staff and friends. We have great memories of Joe who loved to chat about everything. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

I have wonderful memories of growing up with Joe on Johnstown Road. Later I valued his advice on horticulture matters. He will be sadly missed.

So very sorry and sad to hear of Joes passing. We use to have great chats about all things tree related. A lovely kind man . May he Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the fundraising team in Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services, we are so very sad to hear the news of Joseph's death.

He was a wonderful supporter of the hospice - raising significant funds through his sunflower fields over the last few years. He will be sadly missed.

RIP Joseph!

Sincere condolences to Joe's family on the sad passing of Joe.
Joe was a real gentleman always ready to give his professional advice unselfishly.

A true friend and colleague. Thanks for so many good memories Joe.
May you rest in peace.

Sympathies to all Jodie’s family on his sad passing. Another class mate from Newbridge College gone too young. RIP.

My condolences to Jodie`s family. Knew Jodie from Newbridge college days. We had met a few times over the years and had great chats. Very sad to hear of his death. It shocks to lose another classmate so young. May he rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend, colleague, and mentor. It is difficult to put into words the immense loss we all feel, as he was truly a remarkable individual who touched the lives of so many.

His unwavering moral compass served as a guiding light for not only myself but for so many of us, and his presence will be sorely missed. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have known him for so long and to have been on the receiving end of his invaluable guidance and support. He was a true mentor, always there to offer a helping hand and share his wisdom with kindness and humility.

It was an honour to reciprocate even a fraction of the care and support he provided me over the years. His dedication to his craft and his passion for horticulture were truly inspiring. He was an oracle of knowledge, and his expertise will leave an indelible mark on the field.

As we mourn this profound loss, let us remember the incredible person Joseph was and the countless lives he touched. May his memory be a source of comfort and strength during this difficult time. My deepest condolences go out to his extended family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to have known him.

Deepest sympathy to Joe's family.
I knew Joe both from meeting him at his garden centre business many times and from the times when he and I were canvassing for FF over many elections. Also, growing up in my parents' home in Priory Avenue, I was conscious of his parents particularly because Joe's father (Frank McMahon) and my father (James Murphy) were very good friends from their Booterstown days. Joe was an absolute gentleman. May he rest in peace.
John Murphy

Deepest sympathy to Joe's family at this sad time. He was a gentleman to do business with.
From all the staff at Kelly's Nursery.

So sorry to hear of Joe's death. We loved going to Scalp Nurseries and getting his advice on all things horticultural, we have many plants in our garden bought from Joe. He was so kind. One Christmas he delivered two wreaths, beautifully made by Veronica, which were sent by my sisters in Chicago. He went to no end of trouble to deliver them personally only two days before Christmas. RIP Joe.

Very sorry to hear that Joe has passed. Friend and neighbour.

So, so sorry to lose an old friend. He was a giant of a man, gentle and caring. We will miss you, Joe, but you will be forever in our hearts.

Sorry to hear of Joseph's passing. A great horticultural mind and a man who truly loved what he did. RIP Joseph

I did not know Joe personally, I only met him on my visits to Scalp Nurseries where Joe & his staff were always very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. You could tell everyone loved working there. My thoughts are with his family, colleagues & friends - a deeply liked and respected man - he will be greatly missed- May he rest in peace in the eternal garden.

Joseph will be remembered with love, affection and smiles by my family here in the UK.

Joseph and his parents were an important part of my life growing up in Co Wicklow, and remained so through the years. Felix, Forestry Inspector, mentioned in a previous message is my father, and would be very proud of Joseph's achievements.

To all Joe’s relatives and staff please accept my sincere sympathy on Joe’s passing. I always looked forward to a visit to the Scalp Nursery for a chat with Joe, it could be on any topic but often reverted to talking about his late Uncle Felix who was a forester, Joe had trees and horticulture in his genes. Joe will be sadly missed in the plant world for his immense knowledge. May he rest in peace after a difficult battle.

It is with sadness to hear of Joseph's passing.

May he be at ease.

Sincere condolences to Joes family & friends on his sad passing. I have known Joe for many years & always enjoyed his chats about the horticultural industry & his knowledge of some of the large European nursery producers he encountered during his training in Pershore college in the UK. Joe was an absolute gentleman & will be sadly missed from the many horticultural trade shows throughout the year. He will also be missed by his loyal employees who worked in his business.
May Joe rest in peace.

Condolences to Joe’s family and friends and especially his employees who worked for him for many years they were so loyal and will miss him dearly. I had many long chats with Joe he did my hanging baskets and I always bought my shrubs from him. I am shocked to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace he was a kind and gentle man

Sincere to Joe's family and many friends. He was a wonderful neighbour and friend to us since he came to the Scalp in the 1970's. He was a generous man with his knowledge and his time. He would always donate to whatever cause he was asked to support and indeed did such great work for the Hospice. He never held a grudge and would always see the good in people. We will miss him greatly... May he rest in peace

Sad news,
From all the Keanes and Reddens Killegar

Joseph was a lovely man and great for a chat. Myself and my wife met him a few times when we were up at the nursery buying mature trees in 2020 for our newly-done back garden and we had a few long chats and lovely with him. Conan and Rosemary McKenna

Deepest sympathy on the passing of a wonderful and kindly man who enriched the lives of so many in the course of a great life of working and of giving. In particular, his contribution to making many Christmases and other annual celebrations so special for very many children will live long in our and in their memories. May Joe rest in peace forever.

My condolences to Joe's family, work colleagues, friends and neighbours at this sad time. Joe had time for everybody, never rushed a conversation and loved to share his love and knowledge of nature and horticulture. He carried kindness with great ease and life's simple pleasures brought him the greatest comfort.
Thank you Joe for enriching our community during your time here, on earth. Rest in peace.
Lettie

We were so sad to learn of Joe’s passing. He was very good to us over the years and he will be missed.

My thoughts are with Joe's family, work colleagues, neighbours and friends. Joe loved nature, plants and animals, which made Scalp Wood in Kilternan a very special place for him... "The love and care we give to nature, can draw us more deeply into the circle of life, into the wonder of our common relationship to our Creator." - Farmer Joe will be remembered by so many for his gentleness and kindness. Rest in Peace
