JOSEPH KANSKY Obituary

Barbara and Joe were neighbors of mine back in the day when we lived in Mattappan. So many years later we live across the street from them in Holliston.

They have been wonderful neighbors. Annette and I will miss seeing Joe watering his plants and clearing their driveway of snow.

We offer our deepest sympathy to Barbara.

With love Annette and Jimmy Kaitz

Barbara and Barbara

It is with deep sadness and sorrow to learn of Joe's passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Joe was a very good man and he loved you both very much.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.

Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, love leaves a memory that no one can steal, I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death and no matter what our loved ones are always with us and they continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make.

Joe will be in your hearts and minds always and forever.

Allah HaShalom - May He Rest In Peace.

With love,
Mitchell and Trish
