JOSEPH O. PECENKA

Dear Tim and Mark,

I was sorry to learn of your father's death. Joe and I shared laughs many times while we worked at NIU. We served together on a number of committees at the COB. He was a man of his convictions. I enjoyed socializing with him.

Joe was helpful to my wife in the area of genealogy. We hope the work he did on your family history has become a part of his legacy to you.

Our sympathy for your loss.

Jim and Linda Lahey

Dear Tim & Mark:
My deepest sympathy.

Dr. Pecenka helped me get my Ed.D. He & your mother befriended me with love, wisdom, care, patience & understanding. Dr. Pecenka was a Great Professor & Person. I grieve deeply. Please accept my sorrow

Dr. Pecenka was a very special man. He helped me get my doctorate. He & JoAnn befriended me, showed love patience, wisdom & understanding. Dr. Pecenka was a great professor and beloved mentor. I grieve deeply

So sorry for your loss..the last time I saw your Father we were both in Menards. He said he liked to walk there in "bad weather". He and my late husband were in the College of Business at NIU...time goes by so swiftly.

Tim,

I pray that the Lord will hold you and comfort you as you grieve the loss of your father. Press into your Holy Father and his strength will sustain you. I am praying for you.

Love, Cheryl (Crowley)

Tim,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Having lost my father 4 years ago, I
can appreciate how you must be feeling. Although I haven't seen
Joseph in probably 30 years, having grown up together with you, I have plenty of fond memories of him. Usually looking over his glasses wondering what kind of mischief you and I were up to. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Mark.

Tim and Mark - Our thoughts and prayers are with your families at this time. We enjoyed your parents' at Westminster Presbyterian Church, when they were involved there and would enjoy seeing them in the community over the years. They will be missed. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

Lovingly - John and Marge

Tim,

So sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I lost my mom in 2000 and my dad in 2006, so I know the pain you must be feeling. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
