Joseph W. Sikorovsky passed away March 12. He was 60.
He was born April 30, 1956, to George and Rose Sikorovsky and was the dear great-nephew of Gene and Edmund Sikorovsky. He was a cherished friend of Bill, Andrea, Tom, Randy, Gary, Mat, Connie, Steve, Lee, Billy, Rick, Paula, Richard, John and many, many more. He will be remembered by his friends for his honesty and forthright approach to life.
Joseph graduated from Morton East High School in 1974 and obtained a bachelor’s degree from Northern Illinois University. He was an employee of Leo Burnett for 27 years.
Joseph was a 20-year resident of Lake View, frequently visiting with his neighbors at the former Caribou Coffee on Broadway. An avid Chicago Cubs and Blackhawks fan, he enjoyed a good cigar and intuitive conversations.
Our community will benefit from Joseph’s legacy of gracious generosity by a living endowment to his favorite charities. He was very hard-working and ambitious, and will be missed by all who had the great fortune to have known him. Services and internment were held at Mount Auburn Funeral home in Stickney, Illinois, on March 16-17.
