Joseph M. Milewski

Joseph M. Milewski, 87, of Churchville, passed away Friday, October 29, 2021. He was the beloved husband of Barbara A. (Brauning) Milewski.

Born January 8, 1934 in Philadelphia, he was a son of the late Francis and Mary (Gorski) Milewski, Polish immigrants.

Joe served in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper in the Korean War. He went on to become a computer analyst with the Army and then the Navy, and received many awards from the government for special assignments. He also worked a second job at Sears. Joe met the love of his life, Barbara, and married her in 1959. He devoted his entire life to his wife and children. He loved spending time with his family and extended family, especially on vacations at the Jersey shore, where he enjoyed serving as the family life guard. He was a funny, wonderful and caring person. He will be deeply missed by all.

Along with his adoring wife, Barbara, Joseph is survived by four children, Joe M.
