Dear Family,
We send our condolences to you. Joe was kind and always ready for a cup of coffee and a chat, but not when a baseball game was on... he was a big sports fan. He is so fondly remembered and will be missed. Love to all.

As a graduate of Morton West HS and a student of Mr Vizek I would like to extend my heartfelt symapthies and condolences to his family. I can remember many fond moments in his classroom. He was a very patient and kind teacher with a great sense of humor. We were all blessed to have such a fine instructor and human being. He was a star in his profession and admired by all. Prayers and blessings to his family.
