Joseph Kovach Obituary
Joseph Charles
Joseph Charles Kovach, 73, of Rossford, Ohio, passed away in Maricopa, Arizona on March 28, 2014, peacefully at home with his family at his side. He was a loving father, grandfather "Papa", great- grandfather and great friend.
Joe retired from Doehler Jarvis Industries with over 30 years of dedicated service. He was a working Supervisor, with many of his employees telling his son stories about how hard he worked with them, not above them, in an air conditioned office. He had a very strong work ethic and loved to mentor his craft to many.
He loved his family and expressed that by hosting the annual Thanksgiving and Christmas Feasts, including handmade authentic Hungarian Pastries. He enjoyed pleasing others by putting a smile on their face and good food in their bellies.
Joe had a passion for woodworking and a knack for being able to repair just about anything. Joe always enjoyed when the phone would ring and on the other line was someone in need of help on a project or an emergency repair. Joe left his trademark everywhere, in our homes and in our hearts.
Joe is survived by his son, Joseph R. Kovach (Diana); granddaughters, Jessica Campos (Matt), Tiffanie Clemens (Drew), and Katlynn Kovach (Kyle) and great- grandchildren, Andrew, Kyle, Isabella, Chente, and Coen Joseph. He will greatly be missed by his family. Preceded by parents, Joseph and Mary Rady; sister, Bonnie Gwozdz, Eugene Kovach; nephew, Rick Kovach.
The family will have Memorial Service in honoring Joe with family and friends on April 19, 2014, from 1-5 p.m. at Christ Dunberger Post 4925, Pickle Rd., Oregon, Ohio 43618.

My words can not express the man I knew and admired. These two quotes do a much better job.....
"What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us." -Helen Keller -
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”
