Joseph Zuba

Just heard about Joe's passing tonight. Met Joe at UW Stevens Point 40 years ago. An outstanding athlete but more important, an outstanding person. RIP Joe.

I just heard about the passing of Joe and I'm shocked to say the least. Although I did not know Joe personally, we competed against each other in high school, I'm from Tosa West. The few times we talked I always enjoyed his company. He's the type of guy I wish I could have been a team mate with as he always seemed to bring out the best in his team mates. I'm extremely sorry for the Zuba families loss and I pray he's with Jesus and I can meet up with him again someday. My prayers are with...

My condolences to the Zuba family.

Personally, I cannot say I knew Joe Zuba, but as high school athlete he was the "best" I have ever seen. As a Tosa West alum, I hated to see him show up for the game because I knew his presence would make the difference. However, I could not help to admire his skill on the athletic field and always wish he were on my team. His confidence, his swagger and his ability gave me confidence on the athletic field. He was one of a kind!
I agree with Kris...

I was able to make the services this past friday. All I can think of is how proud Joe would be of his children. They were fantastic in summing up how truly special he was. Joe was a family friend to the entire Boyle family. I knew him virtually all my life and was still playing basketball with him well into our 30s. This past week has been an avalanche of memories. One that keeps popping in my head is one from our grade school days. Summer evenings Joe would regularly come to our house...

Truly an exceptional athlete but beyond that an exceptional human being. The world is just not as bright without him in it. God bless him and his family. We were lucky to have known him.

I was sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I was a fellow classmate of his graduating class at Tosa East and when you thought of your classmates, his name always stood out. He was a great athlete and we wish the Zuba family comfort at this time.

Memories of Joe immediately flash on his contagious smile and laugh, the sincerity of his friendship, and his amazing athleticism. He exemplified everything embodied in a true Tosa East Raider and young man. There was something exceptional about his energy and enthusiasm, and he pulled so many towards him because of it. I will always remember sitting in the Commons at East HS with a common free time. There were about twenty of us, and Joe took a bet that he couldn't make a backwards shot...

I was saddened to hear of Joe's death. He was the life of our grade school class at St. Pius.
