I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Had I known in time, I would have paid my respect in person. Having just lost my mother in 2009, I understand. May God bless all of you. You have wonderful memories for comfort, I am sure.

I remember working for Mr. Jockish around 1968 delivering the Post-Dispatch and working with Carl Jr and John on Tuesday night throwing the South County Journal from the back of the old black truck! Our condolences, Carl Auck and Liz Wessels Auck

To Mrs. Jockish and family. The unwritten rule for all of us who lived on Mueller Ct. was when you saw Mr. Jockish and his paper truck, it was time to go home. He was always on time to deliver the paper to your house and you knew that your dad would be home from work. He always had the friendly smile and would always wave to you as he drove by. Like all of our parents from that era, he made St. Bernadette not just a parish but a family. Kevin Fitzgerald Family
