We were so sorry to hear about uncle Joe. I am quite sure that the Schwartz Gang, is filling heaven with more love and laughter, since they are all together
One funny story that my mom used to (Aunt Caroline) used to reminisce about:
Uncle John and Uncle Joe, found in old canoe., that was in need of much repair.
My mom and Aunt Dee, did not know this, but decided to take the canoe down to the creek to try it out. Uncle John and Uncle Joe, discovered that the canoe was missing and headed down to the creek, where they saw my mom and Aunt Dee, getting in the canoe. The guys were yelling at my mom and Aunt Dee to get out of the boat, but as luck would have it, the canoe started taking on water,And then tipped over, dumping my mom and Aunt Dee into the creek.
The girls were yelling for help, while Uncle John, and Uncle Joe stood on the bank of the creek laughing at them.
( What a great testament of brother and sisterly love!)

I have very fond memories of all the Schwartz-Jaronski family members. My fondest memory of Joe was his honorable work ethic and determination. Truly an inspiration to me in my young life.
I remember their beautiful home on Washington Street. The only thing that was missing was the backyard. The house was carved out of a hillside—or perhaps I should say a mountainside. Joe envisioned the diamond in this rock, and by hand he sculpted the huge hillside into an open space lined with several terraces, supported by beautiful retaining walls paved with reclaimed cobblestones and concrete blocks.
Evelyn and I moved away, and I never saw the finished project, but I’m sure he completed his dream to perfection.
My most sincere Condolences and love to Joe’s family; they all will be in my heart and prayers.
Rest in peace Joe, you will be missed but not forgotten.

To me Uncle Joe (Minnow) was the quiet uncle but a gentle giant with a strong handsome presence at family gatherings. I know he lived a very active and full life with his beautiful wife Aunt Shirley, while also raising two wonderful and smart young men. Even though many years have passed, fond memories of Uncle Joe still hold strong in my heart. My prayers for peace and comfort are with you all. With Love, Sue Romano (Dell)
