Joseph Mark Szomjassy

To Joe´s Family: on behalf of the OK/MC bowling league, I´d like to express our deepest sympathies. Joe was new to our league last season. It was a pleasure having him join us. We´re so very sorry for your loss.

For the last 20 years that OLA Youth Ministry has been hosting Kickball and the barbecues on Monday nights in July, Joe appeared every week at 5:30 ready to man the grill! He'd smile, light the grill, and get to work. He was the ONLY one who could cook the perfect burger for Fr. Burke, and he took great pride in that. I will miss his shirt: "Don't Wanna.. Don't have to... I'm Joe" ...and if I ever found another one, I would frame it near where we cooked each week, so it would continue to...

Joe was the very first neighbor that we met when we moved in to our home 54 years ago, shortly after we met Mary and Doc. For all these years they were the finest neighbors and friends. Sadly Mary and Doc passed away but Joe was always there in the home behind ours. As the years went by and the trees grew so tall that we could barely see each others homes, we were still great neighbors. Joe always had his sweet smile and kinds words and we will surely miss him. Running into Joe would...

Joe was a wonderful classmate and friend. His obituary truly says what a great guy he was. Rest in peace kind soul.

We lived next to Joe and Mary and Doc from the time my parents bought our home in 1984. They were the nicest neighbors. As time passed and my parents aged, Joe was always willing to help with a task that was too much for them, and never accepted any offers of money. Godspeed, Joe.

Dear Diane & Jerry and family I am so sorry for the loss of Joey I will so miss his smiling face at 4:30 mass and giving out the smiles and bulletin . May he rip Helen DeSantis Graves

So sorry to hear of Joey's passing. He was always a kind, gentle man. Loved his extended family. Take comfort in the memories (and the brownies).

My condolences to Joe's family. Joe was definitely one of the good guys. I was a classmate of Joe at VI (class of 1971). We had a special bond, we were both named Joe and we both had a brother Mike. I was so glad I could reconnect with him at our recent 50th reunion.
