Joseph Poremba Obituary

Joe was my buddy and my friend. We drove to worked together for many many years. We shared our views and thoughts on many things. We shared many good stories and laughs. We both worked at the newspaper for over 40+ years. He was a strong union man like myself. I miss him and loved him as a brother. Bob Pacione

Terry and The Poremba Family,
Joe was such a great man and role model to us all. We loved talking to him and he was so kind to our family and our kids. We have so many great memories of him; watching him run and exercise :) and faithfully cutting his grass EVERY Sunday! He was more than just a neighbor you wave to once in a while. We share in your grief and are so sad the world has lost such a wonderful person. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To our dear friends, We are so sad of your dad's passing. We loved (love!)him and will always remember him as a kind and gentle man. He always made time to talk to us and make us feel welcome. His strong and courageous fight was such an inspiration to so many. We join you in mourning a wonderful man who was an example of strength and perseverance. God bless you all...you continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Revelation 7:17~"For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their Shepherd, he will lead them to springs of living water.

Uncle Joe,

You have left a genuine legacy in all of us, with your spirit and constant smile. We see it so much in your children and grandchildren. You fought the good fight and won, and your spirit and goodness will go on in all of your family and everyone you have touched. I am blessed and proud to call you my uncle.

Uncle Joe-

To my favorite Uncle.. I will miss you very much. I admired/respect the man that you were...nothing got in your way...and if it did, you had the tact to dissolve any problem. You are a hero and I hope you are with Jesus having a "sit down" on memories...You are missed so much, but not forgotten.

I love you...peace be with you.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear about Joe's passing. As a copy editor in the Sun-Times Sports Department since 1980, I had the pleasure to work side-by-side with Joe for many years in the Composing Room. While printers and editors occasionally had disagreements, Joe was always able to keep his cool and get the job done in a professional manner. On a personal level, he often spoke of his wonderful family. Joe was a true gentleman and most certainly an "Extraordinary Joe."

To the Poremba family my sincere condolences, I worked with Joe for nearly 30 years, we where the best of friends, we will all miss him.
Ed Kensek (Goodyear, Arizona)

Our deepest sympathy at this time of great sadness. You are in our prayers.

We called Joe Rambo. He was a Tunnel Rat in Vietnam and distinguished himself well. At the Sun-Times Joe would never hesitate to help an editor in the composing room. May he rest in peace.

Dear Poremba Family,
I am saddened to read about Joe's passing. I rerember fondly my time working with Joe Sr. when I was a young man right out of college. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Poremba family.
