Joseph "Joe Pro" Prochaska

Our deepest sympathy for his family left behind. You know Joe is on his next adventure telling lots of wonderful stories. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Joe is off on another great adventure. He will be sorely missed by many.

Dr. Pro was a quirky man, but it was this nature that helped make my day-to-day routine through Edgewater High School a more pleasant one during some of the roughest years of my life.

One of the last classes I had for the days, he always loved to call out my last name just because he could. He'd do things like joke on about the One-Horned One-Eyed Flying Purple People Eaters, or the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and it flew over all our heads, but it was something for me to get a chuckle at during the days. Didn't really care what you did in his class as long as the work was done and nobody was causing any disruptions.

At only 68 years young, he passed away far, far too soon. A truly unique and caring person, I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

My deepest condolences to the grieving family.

Dear Brenda and family,

Joe Pro was a true free spirit and an inspiration to all! I had the honor of teaching with Joe for over twenty five years at Lee and Edgewater combined. Students and staff were endgaged in lively banter from Dr. Pro daily and he enriched our lives.

Thank you for sharing this amazing man who always had a happy word for those he encountered on his daily jonts about school and College Park!

Thoughts and prayers with you. Dr Pro was one of my all time favorite teachers and made learning fun. He was an amazing guy and he will definitely be missed. The world needs more teachers like him.

Rih, one of my favorite teachers, Mr. Pro long live his legacy of teaching and giving back!!!

Thoughts and prayers go out to Brenda and the entire family

He was a great teacher! Thank you and RIP to one of the best <3 I am so sorry for your loss.

JoePro was easily my favorite teacher I ever had. His last for history was infectious to anyone in his class. He got me interested in other cultures and their history. I am heart broken with your families loss, and will be praying for you.

So sorry for your loss. Dr Pro was one of my favorite teachers, and made a huge impact on me. My thoughts and prayers are with you
