It is with great sadness and remorse that the Family of Joseph O’Donnell announces his passing on March 6, 2022. We wanted to notify all his friends, fans, and business associates of this sad news.

The family is asking for a small donation to help with medical bills, a gravestone, keeping sites open, and credit card expenses.

Joe was a loving father, husband, and grandfather. He enjoyed model railroading, science, writing, painting, gardening, hiking, and reading books. Joseph helped other people he didn’t know which includes Toys for Tots and the 2018 fire in Fairfax County , VA.

Joe loved his magazines, “The Eerie Digest,” “The Arts and Entertainment Magazine,” and “Science and Nature Journal” that he published and all friends and fans he was able to meet. He wanted so much to have his books published that he worked so hard. Unfortunately, that never happened.

He was passionate about his ancestry and enjoyed the research he had to do. He found many family members and enjoyed his success in locating them.

He tried to help readers of the magazines connect with others that might help them in their goals.

Joe solely financed the magazines and websites. He never made income from them. Our goal is to have the sites gong for awhile so that you can enjoy them as much as he enjoyed writing them. We know that times are hard for everyone. We would appreciate any stipend that you are able to give.

God Bless and Thank You.
