    Having taught and coached both Gary and Mark, I got to know Joe and his family. He was an extraordinary man with an extraordinary family. My family and I extend our sincere sympathies.

    My wife and I worked with Joe and we socialized with Joe and Jean in the KofC and

    various other events. They were always a pleasure to be with.

    Joe is someone you never forget. He was an outstanding individual, engineer,

    and craftsman. His work was always of the highest quality. He had a

    very high sence of reason which was evident in his decision making in whatever he did.

    He was liked by everyone he came in contact with. He will be missed by everyone who

    knew him. Surely, he will have God’s favor.

    Alice and I express our condolences to you Jean and to your family.

    God Bless You,

    Frank & Alice Dombrowski
