Family of Joseph Koukol, I think we may have been neighbors near 26th Street. Machala? I am Sr. Christine from same resident floor (not Sr. Gloria close to Joseph's room but I am farther down the corridor). May Joseph rest in peace. My prayers are with you as we enter the Easter season. I will mail to you. God bless your family, and God bless Joseph.

So sorry for your loss. Was a correspondent with Florence for many years and spoke on the phone with Joe. I am Martin Pagryzinski's granddaughter.

So sorry for your loss. I used to correspond with your mother years ago. Planned to visit Joe, but it never happened. I am a Pagryzinski relative, granddaughter of Martin.

Always a joker, loved to trade jabs and took it with a smile. A man of faith, generosity and who was great with kids. I'm better for knowing him and his family. Greg, Barb, Gary and his grandchildren, I'm sorry for your loss. Keep the wonderful memories alive in your hearts.
