To the family of Joe Kocab, Joe was a friend of our family. He helped with a visit to the Czech Republic and found Czech music for us to enjoy. We would always greet him in the last pew at Our Lady of Lourdes Church before Saturday evening Mass. May the saints and angels accompany him to the heart of God.

Remember Joe for his radio broadcast on Sunday Afternoon . A very great friend of Mary & I many great times together He will be sadly missed especially his cigar and beer Loved all the old time records scratchy as they were

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
