An early job as a soda jerk at Neel Drug sparked an interest in Pharmacy and after a stint in the Army during the Korean War, Joe earned a degree in Pharmacy. He practiced as a Pharmacist in Little Rock for over forty years, a job he was well suited for since he was truly a people person, never met a stranger and loved to help folks. He was the go-to-guy for many of his neighbors, lending a hand or an ear whenever he was needed. Joe had many hobbies throughout his life, but his most enduring was music- an informal jam session on Greers Ferry became the Choctaw Crawdads, a band which has played together for almost thirty years.
Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Anna Mary and Joseph Meehan.
His survivors include his beloved wife of fifty-nine years, Beulah Meehan; his sister, Sharon Holmes of Redondo Beach, California; his sons, Joe and Keith Meehan of Little Rock; daughter, Valerie Meehan of Truman; grandchildren, Jason Ballard, Travis Meehan, Amy Milam, Nick Miller; and two great-grandchildren, Stormie and Sydney Milam.
Visitation is Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. at Immanuel Baptist Church Chapel. Funeral will follow at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow at 1 p.m. at Arkansas State Veteran's Cemetery.
