Joseph J. Kowal

Loving husband of the late Kathleen.

Beloved son of Joseph and Louise Kowal.

Devoted father to Joseph and Brian Kowal.

Cherished grandfather to Alexia and Evangeline Kowal.

Dear brother of Bernie, Marge, Berda, Theresa, Ange, Josephine, Ronnie, Rose, Chuck, Maryann, Al, Virginia, and John.

Joe was a truck driver, an auto mechanic, a handyman, and an engineer. He loved working with his hands, making things, and helping others by fixing stuff. He loved animals- pets and wildlife. He will miss his 2 cats, Titan and Lucky. He was a proud veteran and served in the U.S. Army between January 4, 1966, and January 3, 1972, when he was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant. He was a proud father of his two sons, two daughters-in-law, and his two granddaughters, whom he cherished. 

Please consider a donation to the West Suburban Humane Society in Joe's memory.
