Joseph died peacefully at home on March 27, 2012.

Joseph served in the Air Force, leaving with an honorable discharge. He retired in 1987 from NVF company after 36 years of service. He enjoyed going to Delaware Park and Atlantic City with his nephew, Bill Wheatley and his wife, Cathy.

He was the son of the late Bernard and Tessie (Gajewski) Krakowski. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Mary, of 39 years who died in 2008; and brother, Ben.

Joseph is survived by his devoted daughter, Chrissy DiBiaso; sister, Frances Sammons; and brother, John (Joan) Krakowski. He also is survived by two grandsons, Richard (Angelique) Hein, and Frank DiBiaso Jr.; among many nieces and nephews.

We will miss his smiling face and kindness that he carried with him throughout his life.

My Uncle, My good buddy but most of all my best friend even in the hereafter. Always in my heart and I will never forget the great times we had over the years...the best. Sure do miss you, your great attitude and smile. I can't believe that much time has passed, since we last visited our best casino. I know we will see each other again. Keep those wheels a spinning.
