April 13, 2014 at 6:34 amMy condolences to the family. I was married to Jo Ann’s sister, Lucy’s, son, Ivan (Chip) Bielek in 1966. We had a daughter, Brittany. Ivan as you all probably know passed away several years ago. Brittany is fine, married and they has a daughter, Taylor. We all live in the same town. It has been many years since I met Jo Ann, and the rest of the family, but I remember that she was the sweet one. Again, my condolences to you all.
