NEW CARLISLE - Joseph John "Joe" Jenczewski Jr., 69, of
New Carlisle, IN, passed away on February 13th. Joe was born on
May 19, 1940, two years after his sister Nancy. They always
celebrated being born on the same day. He was preceded in death
by his parents, Joe and Loretta (Niemier) Jenczewski, and by a
sister, Kay McCall. In June 1960, Joe married Kathy Cebrat, and
they looked forward to celebrating 50 years of marriage this
year. Surviving are two daughters, Mary (Tom) Ebzery of North
Attleboro, MA, and Anne (Andy) Peickert of New Carlisle; two
sisters, Nancy Dustman of South Bend and Diane Jenczewski of
Mishawaka; four beautiful granddaughters, Allie, Danielle and
Carly Ebzery, and Aimee Peickert; nephews and nieces, Dr. Ricky
Tubbs, Brenda Tubbs, Kim Samulski and Ronnie McCall. Also
surviving are sister-in-law, Janice Lampos, and brother-in-law,
Ron McCall. He'll be missed by family dogs, Daisy of New Carlisle
and Buster of North Attleboro. He was a avid bowler at PNA, and
enjoyed his fishing trips "Up North" with his Dad, Al
Kush, and the gang from Al's Anchor Inn. Later, he took up golf,
and played Erskine, Elbel and Myrtle Beach with his
"buddies." He always said the best golfing trip was the
one with his sons-in-law Tom and Andy on Maui. He was a
"die-hard" Cubs and Chicago Bears fan from his early
boyhood days. Joe worked for many years at Wheelabrator. He then
worked for the City of South Bend-Waste Water Treatment until his
retirement in 2005. After retirement, his "routine" as
he called it, was to take granddaughter Aimee and her friend
Christina to St. Joe High School, work out at ProHealth, and stop
at Martins for a muffin and coffee. He worked one day a week at
ProHealth as a maintenance technician. Visitation will be in the
Kaniewski Funeral Home, 3545 North Bendix Drive, South Bend, on
Tuesday, February 16th, from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., with a short
service following. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made
to the Center for Hospice and Palliative Care. To send
