Joseph T. Mesch

I knew Joe and Susan through others. They would not remember me but in my brief encounter, I found a friendly, kind brother soldier who I am sure would have made a lifetime friend. Final guard duty brother. Brother in arms.

Aunt Sue, Elisa, Kara, and Anya,
Uncle Joe was such a wonderful person. He touched eached of our lives in such a special way. He was so good with our children (especially Michael and Johh).
Please know that we are always here for you. You are in all of our thoughts and prayers. May our Blessed Mother watch over you and guide you each and everyday. We love you.

Uncle Joe,
Thank you for being such a wonderful Uncle. You have given us so much in our lives. ...

To know Joe was to be in awe of the tremendous enthusiasm that he gave forth. We were classmates at Pottsville Campus of Penn State and worked together in several activities, including ROTC and student government. What a great guy! So pleased (but not at all surprised) to read that he continued on the pathways of bravery and service to his fellow human beings. My sincere sympathies to his family.

I send my condolences to the Mesch family. I graduated from IHHS and fondly remember Joe as our class president. I especially remember his warm personality and always had the feeling he really cared about everyone. God bless all of you.

My sympathy to the Mesch family. I didn't know Joe but I did know his siblings since I grew up in New Boston. He lived a full life although, it ended too quickly. So sorry.

I, too, knew Joe through the 4 yrs. in Immaculate Heart H.S. Although I never knew him well, I do remember his dynamic personality, his positive outlook in life as well as being a funny guy. You will be remembered in my prayers and rest in peace, Joe.

I was graduated from IHHS with Joe in 1960. To be around him was special. What a wonderful personality. When I read of his passing this morning, I remembered all the swell times we had in school and at our reunions. There is little one can say to ease the pain of his loved ones. It can only help to know others care. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Joe and I spent four years together as part of the first class at Immaculate Heart High School to graduate after completing our entire HS education at IHHS. We were not in the same home-room the first year but it did not take long to recognize him as a good guy whom you would like to be around. The respect and stature in which he was held continued to grow, as evidenced by our choosing him as our senior year class president. After all this time, there is not a single moment of anything but...

Aunt Sue, Elisa, Kara and Anya,

I loved Uncle Joe so much! I found myself to have been blessed by his life as my uncle and godfather. He loved all of you so much. In addition to being a wonderful husband and father to you all; he was an excellent uncle to all of us. Even Lynn Ann’s children can attest to that one! He was warm hearted and lived life to the fullest!

He truly lived a beautiful life where he enjoyed every moment. The small details mattered to him...
