Dear Wisniewski family. I only knew your Joe from a couple of brief correspondences years ago, on the coincidence of there being two professional photographers with the same name. He had a healthy sense of humor, the sort of person the world needs more of. My condolences on your loss.

To the Wisniewski family: we were saddened to learn of Joe's passing...he was such a nice guy, and quite a "character," for sure! Joe did such a great job at our wedding with the photography...back in 1970! Whenever we reminisce about the wedding, while looking through our album, we will think of Joe. God Bless Joe and family.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. Joe did our wedding in 1969 and all my sisters wedding too. He had a real eye for beauty and could bring that beauty out in all his works. We enjoyed his humor and still remember some of his terrible jokes.

Barb and family
I lived just around the corner from you folks when I was growing up but most of my memories of him were from his photography. His skill with the camera was matched only by his friendliness and his family's love. I, and most of my classmates, had our photos taken by "Uncle Joe" at various times growing up and I still have some Park Studio portraits in the house. Behind the camera he was the boss but in front, his smile and sense of humor always kept us at ease during the shoot. Take comfort in the fact that we'll see him again when we finally take that last step into His light.

Barb and Family; So sorry that we are not with you at this time,but we are in spirit.Joe is finally free from his earthly suffering and enjoying God's Holy Presence.We will miss him and his humor but one day with the grace of God we will see him again. Love Jim and Marilyn Chattanooga,Tennessee

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I would like to extend my condelences to the family of Jospeph S. Wisniewski, Jr. On his passing. He was a real gentleman & a great photographer. I had the honor of Joe, taking a portrait of me in my Correction Sergeant's uniform, many years ago.
