  • So sad to hear this sad news of Joe's passing. "Joey" as he was known to the Petrowski family was a good friend of my Dad's (John Petrowski) and was in my parents wedding party. Handsome man through out his life and was always kind and had a Hello Joanie every time I saw him. He was always mentioned with respect whenever we had a family reunion of the Petrowski's and we often heard of some sort of story about him when they talked about their shenanigans growing up in Felsendorf, Rest easy Joey - so deserving to a hard working family man and friend.
