Joseph Junie "Junior" Farrell, 84 of Hollywood, MD died April 4, 2013 at the Hospice House of St. Mary's. Born June 3, 1928 in Bushwood, MD he was the son of the late William Johnson Farrell and Martha Louise (Graves) Farrell.

As a waterman, Junior spent much of his time on the water catching and selling fish, crabs and oysters. It was during this time that he was given the nickname "Catfish" which has stuck with him his entire life. Through the years he continued to enjoy cruising around with Betty in the afternoons selling or trading seafood and other goods in the local Amish community making many friends.

While relaxing at home, you could always find him sitting at the kitchen table with a slice of pie and a hot cup of tea. He would listen to old country music, tinker around with a broken watch or clock while watching the animals move about the yard. He took pride in the yard making sure the grass stayed cut and the bushes were trimmed. A vase of flowers picked from the yard was often on the kitchen table to enjoy.

Junior is survived by his wife, Clara Rosetta "Betty" Joy; children Patricia Lynn Pennock of Chaptico, MD and Joseph Edward Farrell of Hollywood, MD; his step children, Larry Joy of California, MD, Ronnie Joy of Bushwood, MD, Connie Martin of Hollywood, MD, Johnny Joy of Chaptico, MD, Robert Lee of PA, James Joy of Ridge, MD, Charles Joy of Mechanicsville, MD, and Clara Morgan of Loveville, MD; twenty-five grandchildren; siblings, Jean Bean of Leonardtown, MD, Donna Marie Farrell of Bushwood, MD, Thomas Farrell of Leonardtown, MD and Susan Muth of Manassas, VA.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his step daughter, Ann Morgan; siblings, Martha Louise Farrell, James Edward Farrell, Robert Francis Farrell, and Dorothy Ann Cullison; and two grandchildren.
