Joseph "Martin" Polinsky, 81, passed away Saturday, February 22, 2025.
Born on June 30, 1943, in Louisville, Joseph was a man of quiet strength and deep integrity. He found solace in the outdoors, spending countless hours hunting, fishing, and tending to his garden. Though he valued his privacy, he was always willing to lend a helping hand to a neighbor in need. His kindness and steadfast nature made him a dear friend to many, and his presence will be profoundly missed.
A memorial gathering to honor Joseph's life will be from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. Friday, February 28, 2025, at Owen Funeral Home, 5317 Dixie Highway.
Burial will be at Bethany Memorial Cemetery at 11:00 a.m. Monday, March 3, 2025.
In lieu of flowers, please consider performing a random act of kindness in Joseph's memory.
