Joseph Charles Lepscier, 64, passed away suddenly on Friday, August 18, 2023 in Aurora. Joseph was born on September 4, 1958 in Blue Island, Illinois, the son of John and Rita (Rick) Lepscier.
Joe was a devoted brother and friend, and also a highly skilled and valued employee during his working years. In the 90's, he lived in Battlement Mesa, CO and serviced the phone systems all along the western slope. He provided system repairs, upgrades, trouble shooting, and telecommunication solutions. Previously he also had similar experiences in Arlington,TX., Fairfax, VA., Wilkes-Barre,PA among other places. After leaving Colorado, Joe returned to the Chicagoland area, where he happily retired from work and spent his remaining years.
Joe had a variety of interests, including star gazing. He could identify planets and constellations easily. In his later years, he developed a strong interest in duplicate bridge. He met some of his very best friends playing bridge and he achieved the status 33 on BBO (Bridge Base Online) and the status of Bronze Life Master on ACBL (American Contract Bridge League). He was incredibly talented at wood working and carpentry. He was a gifted artist as illustrated by his "Joe's Bowls" and he has won several contests for his knitting creations. Another passion he had was his hobby of flying remote control airplanes. Amongst all of these and other talents he was a self-taught guitar player. He was loved and will never be forgotten by his family, neighbors, and friends.
Joseph is survived by his brothers and sisters, Rick Lepscier, Steven Lepscier, Joan Jesse, and Janice (David) Zweifel; cousin, Chuck Schmidt; and several nieces and nephews.
Preceding him in death are his parents, John and Rita Lepscier; brother, John Lepscier, Jr.; brother in law, Michael Jesse; and sister in law, Susan Lepscier.
