Jack & I cherished our 40+ years with Joe & Dar & enjoyed. many "Field Trips" together once-twice a month going all over N.E. Ohio: Catawba,Kelly,&Put-In-Bay Islands on golf carts followed the covered bridges trail &bought apples along the way. Visited President's homes &burial places in Lakeview Cemetery, Train, Fireman's, Natural History ,Crawford Aviation & Car Museums. Of course many Antique shops & Malls ,Picnics, backyard cookouts, New Years Parties & only 1 Browns Game! We agreed that was quite enough!! We've celebrated our familys' Birthdays, Graduations, Anniversaries & lively conversations over coffee-tea and in earlier days, maybe a drink or two! and many more times together, too many to list! Our friendship was special, and can never be duplicated. THANK YOU JOE for being our thoughtful & kind friend!!! You will be missed, but you leave many, many happy memories!!! With our heartfelt condolences and Love, Rest in Peace Joe. Rolko Family, Marilyn, Deb, Karen & Scott
I'm so sad to hear this!!!! Joe I have known literally my entire life . I have many memories of Joe. He was so kind to me and I always a part of this family as a kid he would pull up in my drive way with Dar and his son Randy and always took me places cedar point, new years parties at his daughters. As a teenager they always allowed me at there house to swim or just hang out. I got older had a son who they allowed in the life as well. He was a amazing dad who wanted only the best for his kids. He truly was a great man selfless and loving I remember him as a great husband. He is a great person, who raised a great family, My heart breaks for the family and Randy u and Heather are always in my prayers. Just all around great guy.
Love Always,Brandi Collette/Means
