Joseph M. Mikuta, 77, a lifelong resident of Washington, passed away unexpectedly Monday, July 30, 2018, in Washington Hospital.

He was born in Washington, March 27, 1941, to the late Joseph and Sophia Wudkwych Mikuta.

Mr. Mikuta was a graduate of Immaculate Conception High School, Class of 1959.

He was a member of St. Hilary Roman Catholic Church, Washington, where he volunteered for various church functions, including fish fries and parish festivals.

Mr. Mikuta was a member of Pulaski Club in Washington for more than 50 years and Holy Spirit Divine Mercy of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church, Meadow Lands.

His first place of employment was at a printing shop in Washington. He later worked for the City of Washington as a meter cop, logging in many miles daily as he made collections for the city. Due to health issues, he retired in 1999 after 35 years of dedicated service.

Joe will be remembered for his wonderful smile and pleasant, selfless nature. He was kind, welcoming and pure of heart. It is a great comfort to his family and friends that he was a devoted believer, and they believe he will enjoy the rewards of his constant and certain faith.
