Joseph S. Kurek

Missie, Aunt Caroline, Uncle Bill:
We are so sorry for your loss. I remember being at your wedding and my mom turned to me and said, "Missie got one of the good ones". I'm sorry I didn't get to know Joe, but after reading all the other notes, I can only imagine that he was a wonderful husband and father. My heart is so sad for you and the girls. If we can help in any way, please let us know. Hopefully my mom was up there welcoming him. May you find peace in your memories.
Love,...

Missy,
I don't know if this is appropriate, but in addition to my previous entry, my brothers father in law passed away the day after Joe. Remember Dave Clark from High School? His Dad.So I was by Shaun's side during this time, but still, I would have been there for you, but now I'm there for you in prayer...
Sorry Buddy

Dear Missy and entire family,
Greg and I are praying for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories to help you smile again.
We didn't check the obit's soon enough, or we would have been there for you.
Our sincerest sympathy.

Dear Kurek family,

There are not enough nice words that can describe what anyone can say about Joe. I loved him as a cousin and a friend. He was truly a wonderful guy whom enjoyed life to the fullest and will always hold a special place in all of our hearts.

Kurek Family: Im deeply sorry for your loss. I remember fondly riding dirt bikes, snowmobiling and having fun with Joe when we were kids. I worked on your farm for a summer and had great times. I just wish i would have stayed in touch with such a one of a kind guy like Joe.

Missy, Emmy, & Alaina, Kurek & Family
and Aunt Caroline and Uncle Bill Stewart and Family

My heart and prayers go out to you in this time. If I recall correctly I met Joe at the DiPiazza Christmas Reunion not quite a month ago. Missy, I will always hold dear the first time I met you, you on your golf cart and I on Patty Dooley's up to the lake. May you find peace and calm and understanding in this time with family and friends.

Your Cousin,

Joe's smile was definately one of a kind and will always be remembered and sadly missed. My heart goes out to the entire family but know that he brought so much happiness to this world, we are blessed to have a piece of that to carry with us forever.

Melissa, Emmy, & Alaina,
Stan, Theresa, & Family
Stewart Family,

It's quite evident reading all these wonderful memories and words of encouragement from so many friends and family how much Joe was loved and admired by all. It is also evident when you really need your friends and family for comforting we are all here for you. When your feeling empty, please read this book again and you will find warmth.

All of you are in our Prayers,
We love you,
Todd & Dee
