Joe and Daisy were married for 66 years. They have been long-time members of St. Mary's Catholic Church, where they attended regularly, and also raised their boys in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, while caring enough to discipline them. Joe believed in Christ and the power of prayer. He was generous, willing to help others, and had a great sense of humor. He dearly loved his wife and family. He always enjoyed meeting people, learning new things, and working on various inventions. He loved music, and played the accordion and harmonica. He was proud of his Polish heritage, for being an American, and (as John Denver sang) he also "Thanked God he was a country boy"! He was a member of the American Legion. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, and especially enjoyed attending the "Fisherman's Breakfast" at Millport on the first day of trout season, and then fishing with sons, grandsons, and friends on Catherine Creek. He took his boys hiking regularly, instilling in all of them a love for the outdoors and God's creation. He enjoyed gardening, writing poetry, and drawing, especially in his later years. He was a good husband and father, was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his wife, children, and family, but they trust he is in a better place, and "will dwell in the house of the LORD forever!"
