Dear Krycia Family,
I was deeply saddend to hear of the passing of your husband and father. I went school with Joe and played football with him. I also am a former Marine who served in Vietnam. I shed more than a few tears when I read about his passing this morning. Semper-Fi Marine.

Dear Kathy, Joey and Michael,

I am so sorry for your loss. May your special memories of your great romance help ease your grief.

I had the great pleasure of working with Joe for 8 years. He welcomed me and mentored me from day one.

I am thankful for all he has been able to contribute to my career.

Joe always had a smile on his face, even during the most trying of times. He was a great person and always considerate of others.

He will be greatly missed.

It is with great sadness I learn of Joe`s passing. But, it will be with even greater happiness that I shall remember him. Joe was truly one of the few real human beings in my life as a young man. His straight forward advice and kindness has left a lasting impression. I aspire to his accomplishments as a great husband, father, friend and person in general. Joe`s passing is further proof that Real Men are in danger of extinction. I hope the people whose lives were touched by this man of strength and passion will truly understand the level of human being they were lucky enough to have known.
Kathy, Joey and Michael, keep the memories and each other close at all times. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love always,
Dave Sharman

To the family of Joseph Krycia;
It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. The Bible however holds out a wonderful hope. The scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with Joseph in the near future right here on earth under peaceful conditions. At that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again. Jesus said in John 5:21,28,29 "Just as the father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus voice and come out." Jesus promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions (John 3:16, 17:3 and Psalm 37:29). Until that day arrives remember God who is the "hearer of prayer" can equip you with the "power beyond what is normal" to go from one day to the next (2 Corinthians 4:7, Psalm 65:2). Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
