JOE MATYAS Jr.

Always considered him a good friend, he would do anything to help you out, he was well rounded-knew a lot and as a result I learned a lot from him on the job and would stay connected after I left the park 30 years ago

Thinking of Mr. M and his family during this time of loss. I'll miss his sweet smile and our high fives. Be at peace.

Dear beloved family of Joe,

May the Good Lord help you with your great loss and put peace and consolation in your hearts. May Joe's soul rejoice in heaven with all his loved ones and the saints, and repay all your kindness.

May the Sorrowful Mother help you get through this great sorrow and bring you joy and blessings.

May his memory live on.

With sincere regards,

Please accept my condolences on the loss of Joe. May his memory comfort your heart; and God help your family during this time of sorrow. Isa.41:13

Joe encouraged me to follow my dreams, and he cheered me along the way. Rest in peace Joe - your smile and kind words will be missed.

Joe was a great guy. I worked with him many years at the zoo. even after retirement,we stayed in touch through our civil war roundtable. He was always of a positive nature and a pleasure to be around. He will be missed by many. Stuart

May God and treasured memories comfort the Matyas family. Isa.41:10

I met Butch thru my sister, Lisa, and her husband, J, a number of years ago. He was always smiling and I enjoyed his quick wit. He was fun to be around. He and I are godparents to Steve and Eric (J & Lisa's kids). I will miss him.
