To Joe´s Family: on behalf of the OK/MC bowling league, I´d like to express our deepest sympathies. Joe was new to our league last season. It was a pleasure having him join us. We´re so very sorry for your loss.

For the last 20 years that OLA Youth Ministry has been hosting Kickball and the barbecues on Monday nights in July, Joe appeared every week at 5:30 ready to man the grill! He'd smile, light the grill, and get to work. He was the ONLY one who could cook the perfect burger for Fr. Burke, and he took great pride in that. I will miss his shirt:
"Don't Wanna..
Don't have to...
I'm Joe"
...and if I ever found another one, I would frame it near where we cooked each week, so it would continue to make us smile.
Thank you for 20+ years of grilling and smiling. Please continue to shine on us from above, and maybe put in a good word for sunny weather on Mondays. You will always be missed.

Joe was the very first neighbor that we met when we moved in to our home 54 years ago, shortly after we met Mary and Doc. For all these years they were the finest neighbors and friends. Sadly Mary and Doc passed away but Joe was always there in the home behind ours. As the years went by and the trees grew so tall that we could barely see each others homes, we were still great neighbors. Joe always had his sweet smile and kinds words and we will surely miss him. Running into Joe would always brighten the day. The neighborhood has changed over the years but the kindness of the Szomjassy family and our love for them never changed. We will miss Joe more than we can say and our condolences and prayers are with Michael and Elaine and their family. This is a very sad loss for all who knew and loved Joe. He was so deeply loved by Mary and Doc, now we know he is with them. Sending much love and many prayers.

We lived next to Joe and Mary and Doc from the time my parents bought our home in 1984. They were the nicest neighbors. As time passed and my parents aged, Joe was always willing to help with a task that was too much for them, and never accepted any offers of money. Godspeed, Joe.

So sorry to hear of Joey's passing. He was always a kind, gentle man. Loved his extended family. Take comfort in the memories (and the brownies).

My condolences to Joe's family. Joe was definitely one of the good guys. I was a classmate of Joe at VI (class of 1971). We had a special bond, we were both named Joe and we both had a brother Mike. I was so glad I could reconnect with him at our recent 50th reunion.
