So sorry to hear about Joe. After all these years I can still remember his laugh, he had a really good laugh. - MauriceRay Sutterby
Joe and I attended church together either at Winnwood or First Baptist of NKC or both. He was always fun to hang around with and responsible.Rogene Geary (Hollis)
I am so very sorry to hear about Joe passing. I use to enjoy dancing with Joe & he had such a wonderful humor. Had not seen he or Janice for years, but will always remember his wonderful laugh.Robert (Bob) Chizek
Sorry to learn of Joe's passing. He and his family were part of the TWA Family that moved up north when the maintenance base moved from Fairfax to Kansas City Northland. Joe's father and my dad, Chiz, were friends for thirty-some years. As we look toward our fifty year class reunion at NKC high, I just wanted Joe's family to know he is remembered by his friends!
Sincerely,
Robert L. Chizek, M.Ed.

I also must apologize for posting this late. Felt that I would comment on Joe and others that have passed. Joe was a good friend and classmate and I remember his piano playing at the Pioneer Room with the Cresents. Never danced with Joe so I cant't say he was a good dancer. However I remember dancing to his music with his sister Annette. Miss you Joe and that music.
