Funeral expenses for Joe Gniadek

I’m making this go fund me in order to assist Joe’s daughter, Taurie, with funeral expenses. As we all know, Taurie was Joe’s pride and joy, he was her biggest fan, and always so proud of her. Being a single dad, Joe was tough as nails, but of course had a soft spot for his little girl. He did anything and everything to give her the amazing life she deserved. Vianna came and Joe’s role of Papa quickly turned into his favorite title. He was such an amazing Papa to her, as most of us have read in one of his daily posts. He loved his two little girls so very much.

While Taurie was growing up she played softball. Joe dedicated his time to coaching her team and man, was he killer at it. He was such a great coach and quickly turned into a father figure or “uncle Joe” as most of us called him. Him and the girls’ dedication and love for the game got them SO MANY trophies. Joe’s coaching skills mixed with his players’ talent made his organization unstoppable. They won tournaments and he coached them in Nationals multiple times. He was so proud of every single person he coached during the softball days. They were a true softball family.

We’ve been blessed to see all of Joe's positive messages and daily updates to Facebook and within the Uxbridge community page. There he met so many new friends and created connections within his hometown. No matter what life threw at him, he was always ready to throttle up! Those words will live on, and I hope it can continue to be spoken and posted about with his memory in mind. It is a great blessing to be able to look back on so many positive messages and life stories - something we can all treasure.

Taurie is expecting her second child in August. Joe was so excited for his grandson. I would love to raise enough money for all funeral expenses to be covered so she isn’t worried about expenses during this tough time, especially while being close to the end of her pregnancy.

Any donations are greatly appreciated, and together we will #Throttleup in loving memory of Joseph Stanley Gniadek Jr.
