In Loving Memory Joseph E. Halk, Jr.(Hawk), 61, passed away on July 7, 2013. Survivors include his wife, Elizabeth Halk, his father and step-mother Joseph and Madeline Halk, Sr.; a very special sister-in-law, whom he considered his sister, Trudy Halk; four brothers, Thomas, Richard, Timothy (Pamela) and Peter (Tracey Pancenza) Halk; four nieces, Danielle Devlin, Jacklyn, Brianna and Sydney Halk; two nephews, William and Joseph Peel; and one great niece, Izabella Marie Halk- Bedolla. He also leaves behind his beloved dog Jake. He was preceded in death by his mother, Joan Halk; two brothers, John and Michael Halk; nephew Thomas Halk and great-niece Penelope Rae Devlin. A retired business agent for the phone company, Joe's essence was his heart. It was big, warm, loving and generous. He had a quick wit and he loved spending time with his friends and family, laughing, joking, discussing and debating his wide range of interests. He had many passions and one in particular was his lifelong interest in playing baseball and softball. Joe was a gifted athlete when it came to both. His interest began as a child playing little league baseball as a pitcher where he pitched perfect games and it continued to progress all the way through to senior softball. Nobody could hit the ball over the fence or play the left field like Hawk. All of us that were touched by Joe will never forget him. A service to celebrate his life will be held at 1:00pm, July 17th at Strunk Funeral Home and Crematory, Vero Beach. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church Croton Falls, NY at a later date. Contributions as a memorial may be made to The Wounded Warrior Project P.O.
