My prayers go out to the entire Krolicki family. I didn't know Joe but after reading what everyone had to say about him I wish I did.
I play golf with Mike and my deepest sympathy goes out to him. Knowing the type of person Mike is it's safe to say Joe was a terrific guy and will surely be missed by all.....

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mike and the whole Krolicki family. I met Joe and Mike when my girlfriend Jackie and I would hang out at the Marauders club when we were teenagers. Joe was such a nice guy with a great sense of humor. I will always have fond memories of his friendship and the wonderful times at the club. God Bless you and may you Rest In Peace.

Joe played the keyboard at our Wedding Reception. We worked together and I was honored to call him my friend. A good guy with a big heart. My prayers are with his family.

Sympathy to the family of Joe Krolicki. I knew Joe from work, and many afternoons when he'd return to the office after a day working in the heat, he'd stop in the break room where I was having lunch, and get a cold Pepsi from the machine. He'd sit for a few minutes to cool off, & we'd have a little talk, usually about how young people need better work ethics! He was one of the "good guys" and will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to the Krolicki family. I knew Joe from Whipple St., back in the 60's. RIP, Joe!

My regrets and prayers go out to the entire Krolicki family at this time of need. Joe was a good person with a great talent in music on keyboard, guitar and vocals. I remember showing him back in the year 1968 how to play the Beatle tune that he wanted to learn so bad on his guitar at that time. Boy that was a music lesson to end all lessons! But Joe got the song mastered in one short afternoon at my house on that warm sunny afternoon day. I will always remember that day. We where both sitting outside in front of my house and after sharing a couple bottles of RIPPLE ha,ha we then both played the song to it's fullest enjoyment for ourselves. I remember also playing that Dion and The Belmonts old tune that you always loved to sing and play back in the day. I remember you and Kenny,Dickie and I think the BEAR on bass guitar with the great old band the INTRIGUES. I go back with Joe and the rest of the guys to the early beginnings of the old club days when we where all just a bunch of young ones hanging out and partying at the old club. The club was the place to be on any Saturday night because of the greatest parties with the greatest people ,music and dolls on the planet. We had our share of laughs and spirts and music and that will always remain in my heart as the best memories ever. Joe always made me laugh with the way he would but his spin on a funny story that he would tell you. Rest In Peace old friend. Joe Bialek CGP
