Joseph David Katnich

A great man & friend! Knew Joe working at M&M/Mars.

Old friends are not forgotten

I'll miss you Dad. Thank you for being such a wonderful Father. My sympathies to your wife and children. Love, Terry Mosley, Denver, Co. (303) 366-5253

Dear, Kristen, Michael, Denise, Anne Marie, and Donna, just found out about your father and wanted to send my condolences to all of you. My thought and prayer are with you.

Always an engaging conversationalist on baseball, Joe could recall entire MLB rosters from 60 years ago, providing colorful anecdotes from the past and shrewd insights on current teams and players. After all, what is baseball without its history? He will be sorely missed at extended family gatherings, but we can all bask in the sunshine of his progeny---Denise, Anne, Donna, Kristine, and Michael and their wonderful spouses and terrific grand children as well as great grandchildren.

Joe was awesome...I worked with him at M&M/MARS and STS...he was always positive & passionate about his family, baseball and MARS. Joe always was sharing about his 5 kids and grandkids. He always
told a great story about everyone he knew.
A true gentleman husband, father and coworker.

Goodbye my friend, it was an honor to call you, friend.
Peter C West, Fort Myers Fl.

My love and prayers to all your family. Thank God you were all together up until the end.
Love, Helene

Joe was a great person.We worked together at MM/Mars for 17 years and stayed closed freinds for the last 28 years.

What a fantastic person and friend
.

I love you Papa! It always meant so much to me that we shared the same birthday.

I will never forget our great times talking baseball while together at Mars Candy meetings. "Shoeless Joe Katnich", you were a great inspiration to all who knew you. You will be missed

To the Katnich family: I worked at MARS with Joe for many years. Joe worked longer and harder than anyone I know. He was a fine gentleman. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

Thanks for a lifetime of memories Dad. Your son, Michael

To the Katnich family...deepest condolences on loss of Joe. Im thinking of all the many positive memories of Joe. He truly was one of kindest people Ive ever know and had the integrity, character, passion and work ethic that was indeed special. Two things Ill never forget about Joe...never knew a person that didnt like/love him and he had a passion like no other when it came to baseball. We will miss him, but never forget him.

An old and dear friend. a comrade in arms for a very long time.

TO THE KATNICH GIRLS
SORRY ABOUT THE PASSING OF YOUR FATHER. THE CORNERSTONE OF BASEBALL
IN PEDRO.

Kristine, Michael, Denise, Ann, and Donna, I am so sorry to hear about your father. I just read the news and now I'm sitting at my desk at work and thinking about growing up in San Pedro. I remember how when Joe worked for the candy company your grandmother always seemd to have an endless supply candy bars whenever we went to see her. I miss them. I hope you are all well and know that my prayers will be with you.
