Joseph Baczewski Obituary

Joseph Albert Baczewski, 77, of The Villages, FL passed away on May 2, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Manhattan, Joe lived most of his life in New Jersey. He lived a life marked by love, hard work, and devotion to his family.
Joe enjoyed a long and successful career with Bristol Meyers Squibb where he worked for over 30 years. He was known for his dedication, professionalism, and quiet strength - qualities that extended far beyond the workplace into all aspects of his life. Joe had a passion for deep sea fishing and cars. In retiring to The Villages, Joe found enjoyment golfing and playing table shuffleboard with friends.
Joe will be remembered for his deep love for his family; he is survived by his beloved wife, Rosangela A. Baczewski of The Villages, FL; his son, Joseph M. Baczewski of New Jersey; his daughter Jennifer D. Baczewski of Delaware; and his sister, Gloria E. Penrose of New Jersey. Joe's family was the center of his world; his presence in their lives was a constant source of guidance, humor, and support. Joe's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Joe was one of a kind. I met him and his beautiful wife Rosie when we lived in the same neighborhood in NC. He was loved by all who knew him. I know he is smiling down on everyone he touched.

You were one of a kind dear Joe! A kind, special, dedicated and joyful man. I will always remember you, when you first met Rosangela. And that one day you guys brought me back home after the shore when I first met my now husband. We listen to some nice radio station and I felt like I was your kid.

To Rosangela, kids, family members and friends:
Joe is part of you, and will live on in your memories, he is still within you. Much love to you all.

I worked with Joe at Bristol Myers Squibb. It was always a pleasure to work with Joe. He was very dedicated and helped me on many occasions in support of my projects. May he rest in peace.

I met Joe some years ago when he came to Brazil with his wife, Rosângela. From the very first time we were introduced, he was always kind, funny, and such a pleasant person to be around. Later, I had the pleasure of spending more time with them during visits to the U.S., and Joe was always warm, welcoming, and caring.

He was always willing to join us wherever we wanted to go-restaurants, shops, or any plans we had. Joe, thank you for all the joyful moments we shared.

Rest in peace. You deserve heaven by God´s side
