Joseph Barry Droskin went
home with the Lord, Monday,
January 27, 2020, in Grand
Junction, Colorado.
Joe was born December 6,
1945, in Brooklyn, New York,
to Morris Droskin and Violet
Adamson Droskin. He grew up
in McCook, Nebraska and was
a graduate of the University of Nebraska, Kearney, earning his
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration while also serving
in the Army National Guard.
Joe was married to the love of his life, Cheryl Peterson, in 1965.
He worked in the banking industry for 30 years. He cherished his
three kids and eight grandchildren, and never missed any of their
sporting events, concerts, school plays and award ceremonies.
Joe artistically hand crafted custom bows, arrows and beautiful
knives, all from recycled materials. He loved fishing with his wife,
Cheryl, and hunting pheasant with his son, Brad, and his cherished
springer spaniels.
Even when leukemia and chemo robbed him of most of his
strength, Joe bravely stood tall, helping others to the very end. Now
it’s Joe’s turn to be rescued and saved, and Christ the Lord and
Savior has finally healed him.
Joe is survived by his wife, Cheryl Droskin; children, Craig
Droskin, and Milinda Taylor; sister, Beth Elliott, and grandchildren,
Holly, Ridge, Caelyn, Destin, Kamden, Dakota, Garret, and Abigail.
He was preceded in death by son, Brad Droskin, and parents,
Morris and Violet Droskin.
A Memorial service will take place February 15, 2020, at 11:00
a.m., at Vineyard Community Church, 2711 Unaweep Ave., Grand
Junction, CO.
