So sorry to hear of Jo’s passing. She was an exceptional lady and will be missed.
Mrs. Nosky (Jo) was such a special lady. I was a student of Mr. Nosky, but Jo was a part of our lives as well. I remember her as always having a smile and when talking with her, she made you feel like you were the only person in the room. She was a genuine person who truly cared. I am so happy I was able to visit with her the summer before last at their home. What an amazing lady and I feel blessed to know her.
Mr. Nosky,
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and family. God bless you all.
The Loard has called home a truly special lady. I will always remember you Jo, taking a walk with you and my mom after getting Hymie out of the car when we were told not to. Happy moments that will be missed. My heart goes out to Jim and the family. May peace be in your hearts.

Mr. Nosky, I am so very sorry for your loss. Jo was the sweetest, kindest soul. I very much enjoyed (and have missed) waiting on the two of your Friday nights at the sunset. You two were such a loving couple. I never forgot to make sure I got her a to-go box as soon as I delivered her fish so that she could take half of it home. Please know that I am sending much love and prayers your way.
My heartfelt condolences. Mrs. Nosky was always a gracious lady, with a beautiful personality. She will be dearly missed.
