I am one of the babies that father Joe baptized. It is only now that I am 60 I am learning about him: he sounds like a really wonderful man Who I'm sure felt compassion towards me and supported my mother, since I was born prematurely, and christened at a week old. I was baptized at Saint Charles in Pikesville, and it's so amazing that he was pastor in Laurel, where I came to live! Eternal memory! Thanking him for what he did for me, though I didn't know him.

If I may, I would love to share my thoughts and memories of Father Joe.

Father Kitko shared his life in Jesus. He would sing "Let your heart be glad . . . so to shine like stars in the darkness of the night." Keep on shining, Joe.

Fr. Joe was a wonderful inspiration. He always had a story to tell when he did his homilies. We enjoyed every one of them very much. Thank you Fr. Joe for everything you did for us.

Father Kitko was simply one of the finest human beings I have ever known.
He was my pastor and spiritual guide at Resurrection Parish Laurel for 21 years. Above all, he was a friend, and I will miss him always.
