Joseph F. Winkleman

I was Joe winkleman State Farm agent Rich Cawley.We wish his family and Joe the best

Always my perfect person. Always in my heart.

I loved you the first time I met you. Thank you for making me your wife - and the joy and tears of our four children. Everything we had to learn to get through 65 years of marriage. I will love you always and keep you in my heart forever and ever. Love, Petey

I have so many fond memories of Grandpa, I don't even know where to start. From his jokes, to the enthusiasm he showed every time we visited, to the adoption of the nick name "Greengrup" because someone in our family couldn't say "Grandpa" (I can't even remember who it was!), to the waves of photos we'd get as he sorted through them (some of them hilariously photoshopped), and of course his red cup always filled with Pepsi and ice. I am thankful for the visits we've had over the years, and I will greatly miss Grandpa's presence at future visits. Joe left a legacy of joy and laughter, and will always be in all our hearts.

What I remember most about Joe when I was a kid was the big Mark threes Mark 4S he used to drive. I thought they were the coolest . He always treated us kids with respect and gave us a good laugh. He was a great guy. Will all miss him My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Joe Swatkowski and Family

It's hard to figure out what to write about someone like my grandfather, Joseph. He was someone that was full of life, love, and enough stories to fill up several books. We had very different views on the world, but no matter what those were, he still had a huge smile on his face when he'd see me walk in the room. I will miss his presence at our weekly dinners, discussions about whatever television show had piqued his interest at the time, his perfect rendition of The Birthday Song. (If you know, you know.)

Rest easy, Grandpa. I love you.

On the day of my fathers funeral I told Joe that he was the only Dad I've got left. That really touched his heart. Whenever he'd see me, even up the the very end, he'd always give me a big smile. He was a man to be admired and I only wish I'd gotten to know him sooner. The Winkleman house just isn't the same without him; he will be dearly missed.

Joseph was a great father to me. I wasn´t the most pleasant person to be around growing up, but Dad always had my back. He was always kind, loving and supportive, and he spoiled the heck out of me. I loved him fiercely my entire life and I will always miss him. It was the greatest honor and privilege of my life to care for him when he needed me. Rest easy, Dad.
