Mr. Loborec was a great guy and one that will truly be missed. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a kick in his step. He was good for a laugh and would many times provide me with some Polish wisdom as he would call it. He and his wife Marie were treasured friends and clients and we had the privilege of sending them on a number of trips throughout the years during their winters in Florida. May he rest in peace and I look forward to the day to see his sparkling smile once again and here someone holler "Hey Joe". God Bless his family in their time of mourning. Take care my friend.

Grandpa Joe will forever be in our hearts. He was a very special man who was loved by all. I always was his "favorite" Daughter-In-Law (he only had one) and will always remember his love for two vanilla long johns from Dunkin Donuts. We will miss your smile, laughter and jokes and forever thankful for the lasting memories we have of all of the love and laughter we shared over the years.

Joe had always a twinkle in his eyes, and a witty line or two to add to the conversations with friends after finishing a morning walk at Orland Square Mall. One of our favorite people, and we always looked forward to visiting with him. When he wasnt able to get to the mall himself, it was wonderful to have a family member bring him to visit. Being able to visit with him first at his home and then at Marian Village with pizza, treats (he loved the cheese kolaches from Orland Bakery) was as much a gift for us as for him. We were extremely grateful to have seen him at Franciscan and talk to him from outside as he was by a second story window. Joe will be missed by all of us, but will always be in our hearts.
