Joseph R. Falkowski, passed away on July 2, 2022 at age 90 at his residence, Arbor Terrace Shrewsbury Assisted living, Tinton Falls, NJ.

He enjoyed listening to big band as well as polka music. Every night at 7:00 PM you knew where to find Joe, glued to his television watching Jeopardy, and he knew most of the answers and blurted them out before the contestants. He was previously a parishioner of St, Maximilian Kolbe RC church, Berkeley township.
He served in the army during the Korean War and was honorably discharged in 1954. Joseph was employed at the Port Authority of NY and NJ as an electrician and retired after 36 years with the title, Electrical Group Foreman, Port Newark, NJ.
