It is with a heavy heart that we say "We will see you later" to a legend in our industry, an icon, leader, mentor, a hell of a tow'r and a wonderful friend Mr. Joe Kolodziej. Founder, owner and a man who wore the many hats of Joe's Towing Largo, FL.

 

Joe passed away Monday February 22nd. My heartfelt condolences to his loving wife

Priscilla Kolodziej

,his son JR, daughter

Jackie Kolodziej Riley

and all the many grandchildren that he so adored, the team players of Joe's Towing and countless friends and members of our Brotherhood.

We will be having a procession in his honor at a soon to be announced date.

 

I would appreciate if you all would call me (727-444-3911), text me (727-410-2911), PM me or email me (nattow1981@yahoo.com) with your contact information so I can keep you updated. Would you all please reach out to other tow'rs and help get this information out. I know many of you would like to help with this procession and I will definitely appreciate that assistance ----- this is our JOE and our towing brotherhood WILL MAKE JOE'S TOWING AND THE FAMILY PROUD.

 

Joe asked me several years ago to arrange his procession and quite frequently he would remind me of this request. Of course I told him yes it would be my honor "but Joe, you're not going to leave us" .... well here we are and I AM HONORED TO FULFILL HIS WISH. And the family's wish as well.

 

Joe will hear our horns and see our lights when we honor him. WE ARE ALL MORE THAN LUCKY TO HAVE HAD THIS MAN GRACE OUR LIVES, TO TEACH US AND TO CARE ABOUT US.
