    Our uncle was the kindest man on this planet. He will be missed by his nieces and nephew and most especially by his sister who loved him dearly.

    Joe and Elaine were my Mom and Dads closet friends. My Mother Ruth Ann Kopecky Bevill went to school with both Joe and Elaine. I have known and loved them since I was born and I’m 73. My Grandparents, Ernest and Ruth Kopecky were neighbors.
    Elaine, I’m so very sorry for your loss. God bless you.

    My parents could not have asked for better neighbors than Joe and Elaine and we are all saddened by Joe’s passing. He was the most likable, helpful and caring person. Our sincere condolences to Elaine and family. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Duane & Lynn.

    Elaine, there are no words to express my sorrow for Joe’s passing. Don and I were going to try to get up there this spring to see you both. As my brother, Jim, stated, Joe was like an uncle to both of us and he helped me through a very tough physical time when I was a little girl. I pray for you both and will be in touch with you Elaine.

    Our deepest sympathy to Elaine, Dolly, Mary, Kathy, Greg and families. Joe was a wonderful person to everyone he knew. We used to visit with him every Sunday at St. Ann’s after Mass and laugh and tease each other about a variety of topics. Every time we would be together, even, recently, he was always so happy and caring. Joe loved to update us on his nieces, nephew, and great nephews. He was very proud of them and adored them. He took such wonderful care of his mom and Elaine. He was always doing special things for people and NEVER wanted any recognition for it. He just helped people in his quiet, admirable way. A great guy that, definitely, left his positive mark on this world. We know Joe is happy in Heaven with the rest of our departed loved ones from our family and our old neighborhood. His Ford is now parked on the driveway of Heaven (inside joke). Love and blessings.
