Dear Hudak Family:
I was saddened to hear of Joe's passing. He was my dad's best friend when they were in the Navy together, and would accompany my dad to his home in Centralia, PA when they were on leave together.
I only had the opportunity to meet him in person once (that I remember), and that was about 15 years ago when he came to the only Keninitz reunion we ever had, at Knoebels Grove amusement park in Elysburg, PA. He surprised each of my three young boys (now 25, 23 and 18) with a $20 bill, demonstrating an amazing generosity. In talking with him at that reunion I realized how he and my dad would have come to be such good friends; he had the same warmth and wit as my dad.
Please accept our family's condolences.
Don, Jennifer, Nick, Nate and A.J. Keninitz

Just received word of Joe's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. Although I only met Joe a few times, I could appreciate why he was such a great friend of my Dad. He will be fondly remembered as such.

Saddened to hear of Joe's passing. He was a frequent visitor to Brine Pharmacy---always pleasant and asking how everyone was doing. I still remember him stopping by telling us he was moving and wishing us all well--a true gentleman. May he rest in peace

To Carolyn and Family,
You have our deepest regrets on the loss of your father. May he Rest In Peace. We will always remember how friendly he was to everyone. When we would run into him he was always so welcoming. Sorry we were unable to attend his calling hours.

I was so very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. My sister Elaine (Hudak) Izzi called to tell us. I will always remember the times when I would see him in Girard somewhere and he would always ask how my family was: my mom, dad, and my son Karl. That was so sweet of him. He was a such a sweet man.
