Joseph Kuroski Obituary
Joseph Marion Kuroski, born August 23, 1929 in Manhattan, NY, to Alexander and Estelle Kuroski, passed away in the mountains of Montana on September 22, 2016 with his wife and four children by his side.
Joe met his wife, Sondra, at a neighborhood dance in 1956, and they continued to dance together throughout their life. As a young family they traded their suburban life on the east coast to the open spaces of the Rocky Mountain West, including New Mexico, Wyoming, Oregon, and Arizona, but always calling Montana home. Besides his deep love for his wife and family, Joe loved his horses, gardening, hunting, and fishing. His greatest pleasure was teaching his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren the enjoyment of fishing in the great outdoors. Joe accomplished amazing things, from working on the Apollo lunar module, to running his own business, to being an expert craftsman. Upon retirement Joe and Sandy spent six years full-time in their motorhome discovering the uniqueness that can be found throughout our country. The last years of his life were spent at his homes in Montana and Arizona.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters and two infant children.
A US Army veteran, father, grandfather, and great grandfather; Grandpa Joe is survived by his wife Sondra of 57 years, six children; Jorene, Joseph, Kip (Marianne), Kim (Charles), Kordette, and Keith; 12 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Holy Family Catholic Church in Anaconda on Sunday, September 25, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. Rite of Committal will be held at Sunset Hill Cemetery in Bozeman on Monday, September 26, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.
