Joseph R. Waskel
October 28, 1937 - August 15, 2016

Joseph Regis Waskel, beloved husband of Marie Schuler Waskel, formerly of Newell, and beloved father and grandfather went to be with the Lord on August 15, 2016.

Joe was born on October 28, 1937, in Omaha, Nebraska, to the late Joseph and Eleanor Waskel. He, proudly, served in the United States Army for four years, and on November 5, 1976, he married his wife, Marie, who survives him.

Shortly after their wedding in Iowa, Joe accepted a job transfer to Arizona with AT&T where he worked as an engineer for approximately thirty years. Throughout his life, he enjoyed collecting and repairing antique radios.

Besides his wife, Marie, Joe is survived by his sons: Phillip, Dan, David, James, John, and Steven Boyd; his sister, Eleanor; and his twelve grandchildren, who will miss him dearly.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, October 28, 2016, at the National Cemetery at 11:00 a.m. on the Pinnacle Peak and Cave Creek Roads. A luncheon reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall at Risen Savior Lutheran Church in Chandler, Arizona, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations and contributions may be made in Joe’s name to Sage Hospice or the American Cancer Society.
