About this event
AABTS Invited to Joe Datsko Memorial
As many club members know, Joe Datsko passed away on Leap Day of 2024 at age 103 years old. He deeply missed his many friends in the AABTS after he moved to Maryland to live near two daughters about 10 years earlier. He often expressed that though he had lived in Ann Arbor for most of his adult life, the only thing he missed there now were his dear cyclist friends in the AABTS. He was sad that he could no longer see and visit them.
In that spirit, the family of Joe Datsko cordially invites the members of the AABTS to attend his Memorial Ceremony and Celebration of Life at the First United Methodist Church on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024, at 2:30 pm. The church is located at the corner of State St, and Huron St.
Knowing how much he cherished riding along Huron River Drive, a few of the family members will join Joe's Breakfast Club Ride on Sept. 20 to give him (in urn of ashes) one final ride along that scenic stretch. It will be a Ukrainian variation of an Irish Wake. That afternoon his ashes will be interred at the church's Memorial Garden beside Doris, the love of his life, who the Lord called to be with Him on Valentine's Day, 2010.
---- Jim Datsko (AABTS member and Joe’s son)
