O'DEA,
Doctor
Joseph
C.
Of Geneseo, New York, died Wednesday, July 12 at the age of 85.
Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1921, Doctor
O'DEA was the son of
Joseph C. and Catherine Cran
O'DEA. He attended the University
of Notre Dame and graduated from Cornell University in 1944 earning
a degree in veterinary medicine. Establishing his practice in
Avon, he was called into active duty with the U.S. Army and served
in Europe from 1945 to 1947. Returning to Avon, he married his
wife Nancy and developed a commercial breeding farm for Thoroughbreds
and Standardbreds in 1952, beginning a fifty year legacy of farming
and veterinary care in the Geneseo Valley. He was also appointed
the official vet for the National Horse Show at Madison Square
Garden and held that position for twenty-five years. Called 'Doc'
by his clients, he was 'Joe' to his family and Friends. In 1955,
Joe was named as Team Veterinarian to the U.S. Equestrian Team
and provided care for Olympic horses at the Stockholm, Rome,
Tokyo, and Munich Games. He purchased Roscommon Farm in Geneseo
in 1960 and launched a highly successful breeding program, producing
stakes-winning Thoroughbred race horse for three decades. Joe
was voted president of the Geneseo Valley Breeders Association
in 1961. In that position, he led the organization to increased
membership and the development of many new programs. He was appointed
a steward and Acting General Manager of the newly-opened Finger
Lakes Racetrack and was responsible for programs that encouraged
breeding of Thoroughbreds in New York State. He became the president
of the New York Thoroughbred Breeders for two years. Concurrently,
Joe was named president of the American Association of Equine
Practitioners. Joe resigned his Olympic appointments in 1975 to
assume membership to the Veterinary Commission of the International
Equestrian Federation. He officiated at the World Championships
in Lexington, Kentucky in 1978 and the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles,
California. Appointed at the International Equestrian Federation
Technical Delegate at the Royal Agriculture Winter Fair in Toronto
in 1983, he served in that capacity until 2001. A New York State
appointment placed Joe on the Racing and Wagering Board in 1978 and
he held that position for six years while continuing his private
practice an operation of his breeding farm at home. His love
of local racing led to the establishment of the Roscommon Races,
steeplechase races that ran at his farm for eleven years. A practicing
vet through the 1990's, Joe continued to research and write prolifically.
In 1997, he was named The Chronicle of The Horse's Horsemen of
the Year for his support of scientific study of the effects of
added dead weight on eventing horses. Joe appreciated and collected
artwork and supported the work of local artist Colin Coots. He
was also greatly interested in architecture and theatre. A great
joy to his sportsmen's ideals, Joe's beagle pack was established
in the early 1980's and his ambition to see the Roscommon Beagles
recognized as a national hunt pack came to fruition in 2001,
the first and only Beagle pack in western New York. As Master
and then Joint Master, Joe provided great sport for the hunt's
followers and he encouraged interest in the activity. Joe was
a published and noted author, his works embracing topics ranging
from veterinary medicine and artwork to hunting and Thoroughbred
racing. The book 'Olympic Vet' recounted his experiences 'hands
on' in the field as well as vignettes with international flavour.
Better known locally where his extremely popular 'Geneseo Valley'
and 'Geneseo Valley II'. These books were the tales of local
characters and their influence on the history of the bluegrass
region of western New York, where he made his home for nearly
sixty years. His writing captured local lore and humour touched
many of his stories. Doctor
O'DEA was preceded in death by his wife
Nancy, by eleven days, and his son Peter Cran
O'DEA. He was also
predeceased by his brother Edward and sisters Rosalie and Elizabeth.
He is survived by his brother John and numerous nieces and nephews
and many Friends. No prior calling hours. A Mass of Christian
Burial will be held on Saturday, July 22 at 10: 00 a.m. at Saint Mary's,
Main Street, Geneseo. Donations may be made in his memory to
the Geneseo Valley Conservancy, P.O. Box 73, Geneseo, New York,
14454 or Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, Large
Animal Clinic, P.O. Box 728, Ithaca, New York, 14851.
