Joseph Vessely Obituary
Joseph Francis Vessely III
VALPARAISO, IN - Joseph Francis Vessely, age 52, peacefully passed away on Thursday, October 3, 2019 with his family and friends by his side.

Miss my brother! Sweet and funniest dude ever. I'm so thankful and grateful he lives on through his children and wife whom I am so fortunate to see often. but miss so much Joe being here and making us laugh and feel so good about ourselves he did that better than most!

I just heard this sad news a few moments ago. I live in Ireland (there was no option for that below so put in Guam - Joe would have appreciated that). We were close friends at Mt. Carmel and though I hadn't seen Joe in over 20 years, I was thinking of him on Saturday - about a letter he wrote me when I first came to College here in the 80's. Always a gentleman and a kind soul - he sacrificed half of his lunch to me about all of senior year. I still have his Dad's baseball card and remember fondly the kindness and generosity of all his family. I am very grateful to have known him and you. I pray for peace and comfort to you and extend my heartfelt condolences. God Bless, Scott

Heart breaking to hear the passing of a friend and coach and all-around great person. Joe will be missed by so many people in the Hockey world who he dedicated so much time to. Our hearts and prayers go out to his son Joey and his family. He will never leave our memories of great times on and off the ice teaching so many boys how to play hockey.

Received the astonishing news late yesterday of Joe's passing. He was an absolutely wonderful person and father. He and Kristin are some amazing people. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing. I will be praying for Kristin and their children as well as their entire family. I know this is a difficult time for everyone just know that there are many people here surrounding you all with thoughts of Joe and their love for your families.
