Jouzukus was much loved and will be greatly missed by his very close Canadian friends. Our condolences to his family and friends in Florida. His unconditional love for his fellow Lithuania community friends offering his personal support whenever needed. Juozukas was Dede to me, helping to care for my Teta Juze ,his childhood BFF (best friends forever). Loved him much.
Hopefully I will be able to attend the planned memorial service .

I extend my sympathies to the Baltrus family and pray that all at peace. Your father took care of my aunt, Juze Daugela, and our family was always grateful for his kind care. I plan to attend his Memorial Service on May 30 and will be in touch with the funeral home to get the proper time. Respectfully, Dalia Bankaiits
