The Youngs are so sorry to learn of Joe's passing. Joe (or I always thought of him as "The Patriarch") was so very blessed to have fathered with Vi such a beautiful family! His legacy will live on for generations! I am thankful that I got to sit with him and watch Jace's 12U Greencastle All star baseball game in Shippensburg in August. We had a really nice talk and I'll never forget it. Your husband, Dad, and Popski was a wonderful man and I'll miss seeing him at Mass and at the ballfield. May God continue to Bless Your family, Fred Young

Sometimes in this life, you meet certain people that represent all that is good about being a decent human being. JOE was that and so much more. He embodied character and built a living legacy through his beautiful family. He understood that family was the most important thing in this world. My heart shatters for all of you but I find comfort in sharing our memories of this extraordinary husband, father, grandpa and great grandpa. Tomorrow is not a promise but a gift that we should cherish with our own family and friends. This is not goodbye PopSki. Your love, your light and your strength will carry on in so many of us. Its been a long day without you my friend but I will see you again. To my SKI family and especially mom, I love all of you more than words could ever describe.
