Sorry for this loss, to the family. I’m glad I got to meet Joe. My deepest condolences.
Heartfelt sympathies and condolences go out to you and your family during this difficult time.
Was so sorry to hear about Joe. My family lives next door to the Salnicky’s . Joe helped me with mechanical issues I had with lawnmowers and cars after my husband past away. Mary ,Joe and I had many conversations over the fence like neighbors do. Will continue being a neighbor to Mary now . God Bless Joe
God bless you, Joe. Remembering you as a good, decent man. May you rest in peace
Just wanted to let the family know that I’m thinking of you at the very hard time. My thoughts and prayers to you all. Joe was quite the guy always ready with a joke or giving me a hard time!! I will miss him when I come to the old neighborhood to see my mom. Joe you rest easy, you will be missed by many but never forgotten!!!
Forever the pain neighbor
You held my hand when I was small
You caught me when I fell
You are the hero of my childhood
And my later years as well
And every time I think of you
My heart still fills with pride
Though I will always miss you Dad
I know you’re by my side
In laughter and in sorrow
In sunshine and in rain
I know you’re watching over me
Until we meet again.
I love you dad
So sorry to hear about Joe. We worked with him for many years he was a good guy. We found out today when we attended the memorial mass for my Dad who passed April 4th. Prayers for you all during this difficult time.
