Dear Joanne, 31December2017
I just heard of Joe's passing from a dear friend of mine who had the extreme pleasure of knowing Joe from the first day in training at EAL. He, Denny and myself were all in that class and quickly became close friends. That same day the 3 of us went To the Springs Towers Apartments on 36th Street and made arrangements to live together. What a wonderful time that was. Joe was a grand story teller and a TRUE friend...one of a kind...I knew you for a short time and
knew how close you and Joe were. I am terribly sorry I lost touch with you and Joe and the wonderful times that were spent with him. God bless you and Joe's memory. He was truly my brother and I will miss him dearly....Love from Capt. Bob Ramsay and wife Melanie in Marietta, GA

I read of Joe's death in the EARA newspaper. As a flight attendant I flew with him many times and he was one of the pilots you remember for the right reasons. He was a good guy- -friendly, easy to be around and he stood up for his crew. I'm sure he is greatly missed.

JoAnn,
Our heartfelt sympathies and prayers remain with you. Your tender loving care of Joe was such an amazing example of your deep devotion and love for him and the Celebration of Life was such a beautiful tribute to your wonderful Joe. No one could have done a better job! May you find comfort in the many memories you have of your great love and adventure with Joe. Praying God's love, grace and peace over you always, my friend. Love, Carla and Ralph Hill

JoAnn,
I am very sorry to hear about Joe. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Joe and I had some great times as roommates when we started flying, and remember well when you came into his life. Those were memories that I will always cherish.

I remember meeting you and Joe eating diner or playing golf at Deercreek Country Club. Y'all were a striking couple. JoAnn, you were so beautiful and still are today. Joe was a dashing handsome man. Social events with y'all were special. Joe was such a talented man, playing the piano or playing golf. You and Joe had such a beautiful love story. Joe will truly be missed.

Dear JoAnn,
I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I know how much you loved him and what wonderful care you provided him during these final years. I hope the many years of health, happiness, and adventures you shared before his illness will flood your memories in the coming days. I pray you will finally find rest for your weary hands and peace in your heart knowing he is no longer bound by his illness.
With love and deepest sympathy,

Dear JoAnn, thinking of you at this difficult time, but remembering so many great times with you and Joe. So many celebrations, parties, and music! Joe loved life, and always enjoyed having friends over. You and OT took such wonderful care of Joe. Joe was devoted to you, and your love was amazing.

I have wonderful memories of The Kucklicks coming out to California for holidays and family reunions. Joe's smile and strong presence will always remain with me. The love, strength and compassion between Joe and Joann are a pure example of soul mates. May peace and love surround you each.

Dear JoAnn:
Having you all as our neighbors for several years here in Merritt Island brings back many happy memories. We laughed, sang, had meals together, hung out in your hot tub and always looked out for each other, as neighbors. We will always remember our good times together and hoping that you know that you took such good care of him as his partner and very devoted wife.

Dear JoAnn:
Steve and I are heartbroken. We know how much you loved him and took such great care of him. Both before and after that terrible illness struck. We hope the incredible memories of your life together will comfort you during the days ahead. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Sherry and Steve Carlyon

Have wonderful memories of being with Joe and JoAnn at so many great parties at their home and at the Club. Will always remember his vibrant personality and smile. Recall a couple of his good stories as well. Joe was blessed with the best wife ever. Know that Joe will be remembered for his courage, friendship, devotion, generosity and zest for life. What a guy!!!

My dear JoAnn,
I am at a loss for what to say that will give you some measure of comfort. It is a relief that Joe is now free of his physical limitations and illness. He was such a physical person and he always took such good care of his body. This disease was cruel punishment. His release must be a joy for Joe.
I hold you close to my heart and will anxiously wait for a time we can be reunited.
I love you,
Susie (JoAnn's sister)

My dear JoAnn, Joe is not trapped in his body anymore. I am relieved his and your ordeal is over. I am holding you close in my heart wishing I could be of more support. Joe has been a part of our lives for a very long time. He loved his life with you and he absolutely adored you. He was your biggest cheerleader. Joe had the most enthusiasm for living life with abandonment and it was contagious. I will carefully tend and cherish my memories of him. Much love, Susie

Joe was larger than life and lived life to the fullest. He and JoAnn were truly a dynamic duo giving love and support to each other in every endeavor over their years together. Their devotion to each other endured through Joe's illness when JoAnn spared nothing to care for and comfort him.
His loss creates a massive void.

Jan and I met Joe in 2003. We became instant friends. Together with his wife JoAnn, Jan and I shared many wonderful fun filled days and nights with them both.
Joe was quite modest in his achievements in life. He never bragged about any of his accomplishments and there were quite a few. He was the ultimate "hero", always had a wonderful smile and was generous to a fault.
We filled his house with guitars and amplifiers, microphones, cables, keyboards and even a small xylophone. He loved it and never once did he say "hold it down".
Jan and I will miss Joe and the friendship we had. God Bless you Joe Kucklick and the joy you brought to so many people who's lives you touched.
Rest in peace Joe.

So sad to see this news - did not know Joe that well but the times when in his company always enjoyed his intellect & stories of his flying career. Wishing blessings & comfort on family & loved ones during this difficult time.

Scott and I have had the pleasure of knowing Joe and JoAnn since 1996, over 20 years! Joe's smile lit up a room, his sense of humor would have you rolling in the aisles and his zest for life was second to none. Joe was a tough guy but put a kitty in his arms and he turned to butter! Joe will be forever in our hearts. He is now free to fly and soar in the sky, an angel watching over his soul-mate, best friend and loving wife, JoAnn. We have been enriched by being able to call Joe a friend. We love you Joe. GO GATORS!
