William Olejnik, Secretary In Memoriam Joe E. Macha June 11, 1914-March 1,1996 Only three years ago, you say? It seems such a long, long time I miss his voice when he says, “I’m home!” The touch of his hand, his mis¬chievous smile. All of us who love him, wish that we could hear That hearty laugh, his funny jokes, As we brush away a tear. Thank You, God, for sharing him with us for a while. Fifty-two years as husband and wife, before he went away... The memories keep drifting back, each and every day. Now he’s kicking up his heels to a lively angelic polka band! Joe’s dancing with the heavenly angels, They’re all rejoicing with this jolly Delia man! Your loving family, Mom; Bob, Ann, Michelle, Robert; Garry, Judy, Brent, Greg, Dan, Nancy, Leah, Joshua, and Karen
