Joseph J. Yablonski, 74

Londonderry, NH - Joseph J. Yablonski, 74, of Londonderry, NH, passed away Wednesday July 25, 2018 at his home surrounded by his family. He was born in Worcester, MA on July 10, 1944, a son of the late Joseph and Florence (Simonavich) Yablonski. He served in the US Air Force during the Vietnam War. Joseph received his bachelor's Degree from Nichols College in Dudley, MA.

He was well traveled, having been to many exotic locales with his wife and family. He loved going to Old Orchard Beach in the Summer. Joe loved antique cars, but especially loved his Porsche Cayman.

Faith, Eric and Caitlyn,
I am so very sad to hear of Joe's passing. I hope your cherished memories will take away your sadness and help you celebrate the beautiful life you shared with him. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to share family gatherings as well as the neighborhood Christmas Eve gathering as Joe would narrate the story of " 'Twas the night before Christmas" to all of the children.
Please know that I am thinking of your family and wishing you all the comfort in the world as you honor Joe's life. May he Rest in Peace.

Faith & family,

I speak on behalf of North High Class of 1962 in offering our deepest sympathy to you all. This was a real shock to us all and we can't imagine what you are all going through. Quite a few in our class were in school with him since kindergarten and oh the memories they all have. While a lot of our reunions seemed to be planned when you both were cruising to some great place, he was never forgotten. Now I also know why he never responded to our occasional dinners and now luncheons at O'Connor's. Lots speak of their memories of what a great athlete he was. Please know we will not forget him and we pray all your memories of a great guy will comfort you.

Oh Faith! I just learned of Joe's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss and my loss of a very good friend. As you know, Joe and I had many wonderful times together and especially those as roommates in Danvers. This is heartbreaking news. I wish you and your children the very best. Rest assured Joe will rest in peace. I'll always have wonderful memories of him from the days of the Skimos, to our days as roomates, to the occasional times we met again at my music venues.Stay strong and focus on the wonderful times you had together. Love to you. Al Shafner.
