Dearest Petka family,
With deepest sympathy during a time of tremendous loss. Mr. Petka's warmth, generous spirit & most of all humor will be surely missed, but not soon forgotten. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to know such a great man, and to have been welcomed so lovingly by a family as gracious as yours. Thoughts & prayers & lots of love.

There is now a big void in our family. Uncle Joe was the life of the party. With his jokes and his tricks, he always had us all laughing. We are going to miss him dearly, but will always think about him with a smile on our faces. Uncle Joe... we love you dearly... Lissa, Kelsie, and Sean
