  3. My Deepest thoughts and Prayers to the joseph Majewski family and friends ❤️.
    It’s very sad as myself and Joe were best friends growing up!

  4. Joe was one of the sweetest and kindest guys I knew when I was growing up playing guitar in local bands. I had the privilege of playing music with him for several years in the Chicago circuit back in the mid 1980s. We lost touch after that, but he has always been in my thoughts as these were formative years in my life.
    God bless Joe. My deepest condolences to his family.

  5. My dad was one of the kindest people I know, and we shared a lot of great memories together. He was a fighter. He never gave up, and he didn’t like burdening people – that is to say that he wanted to leave a lasting impression of joy and happiness to everyone that had the pleasure of getting to know him.

    My kids (Bella and Jacob) and I got to FaceTime with him just a couple weeks back, and he was still making us laugh and smile. He wanted to know how his grandchildren were doing, and wasn’t interested in talking about his own struggles with cancer. He even took the time to write a personalized birthday card for Jacob.

    He was a man that put everyone else before himself, to the very end, and the world needs more people like him. Love you Dad

    • I am so very sad to hear this news about my cousin Joey. I haven’t seen him in many years and always wondered where he was living. You always had a beautiful smile and bright blue eyes, and I have very fun memories of us growing up together. May God wrap his arms around you.. I am so sad that I never got to see you in our later years. Rest peacefully, my dear cousin. Love Mary. 💔😢🎸

  6. Joey was a good friend of mine back in the day. We went to school together and i played Guitar with Joe, he was an inspiration to ne and I was heart broken when I heard the news.

  7. My Deepest condolences to the Majewski Family.
