Mr. Joe helped his friend, Chuck Sirko, Coach our cross country team, of which I was a member. They would often hang out at the credit union, that Mr. Sirloin supervised. Coach Joe wasn´t really gifted as a sports coach, but he was an encourager and moved us as runners to become our best selves.
Coach Joe had a nephew, Teddy, who was a good friend of mine in jr. high and high school. Teddy was a very good basketball player, and a naturally funny. Teddy made me laugh like hell.
I just learned of Teddy´s passing yesterday, 9/26/24, by way of our 50th high school class reunion. I´m truly sad for both of these losses.
I understand Teddy had a son, who I would like to have a chat with to tell him how special his daddy was. There are so many Pajak´s in this obituary, I can´t keep them all straight.
God bless my friend, Teddy, and his Uncle Joe.
