I’m so sorry for your lost. I just found out my dear friend has passed. Joe and I worked together he relieved me at 104 St. on the J line. Joe talked so much about his family especially the grandchildren. After he retired he would stop by the booth to catch up on MTA news and buy his Chinese food and bagels. Joe was a very good person I will always remember his laugh.

We could not have ever asked for better neighbors to move in than the Kovaluskies. "Mr. K" as I always called him, told me I could just call him "Joe." I said, "Nope you are Mr. K to me." He was always up for a friendly chat and had nothing but goodness to share. Before they moved to town, I would often see him when he came to pick up one of his grandchildren after school. One day he told me he was running errands for his kids. He said, "They always need something done and you can't tell your kids no." That just typifies to me the kind of man he was - he'd do anything for anybody and not only never say no, he did it with a smile. I will miss seeing him and extend my deepest condolences to the entire family.

Ruth and family,

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for all of you. May he RIP.
