Joseph Henry Zglinicki

June 8, 2010 By Hall-Wynne Leave a Condolence

Joseph Henry Zglinicki, 63, died on Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Joe was born in Philadelphia, PA on August 27, 1946.

Joe was a retired Philadelphia Police Sergeant who had been a leader in the Detective Division and the initial Sex Crimes Unit from 1971-1993. He was a member of the Fraternal Order of Police Michael G. Lutz Philadelphia Lodge 5.

Joe was truly a jack-of-all-trades and had careers in real estate, contracting, rehabilitation placement, private investigation, student chaperoning in Europe, and insurance sales. He was also a skilled craftsman and enjoyed using his talent in service of the churches he attended and people in need, such as Habitat for Humanity. He was truly a “Mr. Fix-it.”

Joe was a gourmet chef and enjoyed being in the kitchen, his famous flaming Bananas Foster will be missed by all who had the honor of sampling it. He loved cooking for a few or a few hundred, and loved to watch others enjoy his creations.

Joe was an accomplished yachtsman and loved piloting the Chesapeake Bay. No yacht too large for his skill; he was called upon many times to bring another boat into harbor during bad weather. His final resting place will be within the waters of his beloved Chesapeake.

Joe was an avid motorcycle rider from childhood until his last days. He was active in the local chapter of the Blue Knights and also the Patriot Guard Riders. Joe enjoyed the charity events of these organizations, especially those for children, and cool morning rides through back roads.

Joe was a staunch supporter of the military and a loving spouse who supported the military career of his wife, Lisa, who still continues in the United States Air Force Reserves. He used his culinary talents to raise money for the Combined Federal Campaign and made a “mean batch of chili” for any cook-off that came along during his wife’s active duty career in Ohio. He continued that support of the military when he joined the Patriot Guard Riders in North Carolina and stood in many a flag line to show support of fallen troops.

Joe will best be remembered for his sense of humor and ability to crack a joke about anything. He truly loved to make others laugh. People remember times with him where they laughed so hard, they cried or their sides hurt. This is how Joe will be best remembered, laughter and love.

Joe is survived by his wife Lisa Shear of Durham; step-son Christopher James Rogers of Fort Richardson, AK; step-daughter Colleen “Katy” Kathryn Rogers; and his two loving K-9 children, Skipper and Cricket.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in honor of PGR Member Joseph H. Zglinicki, “Sarge 489” from Durham, NC may be made to Patriot Guard of NC, 34191 Springdale Drive, New London, NC 28127.

A private cremation service was held at the Hall-Wynne Crematory. There are no further services scheduled at this time.

    I find it very shocking to read all the wonderful things he has outlandishly done when in realty he was a dead beat dad whom fathered children and never had contact with them or tried to. If the true Joseph Zglinicki was written about then I would find it more believable, but a Dad whom makes endless broken promises and then vanishes time after time does not deserve the memorial posted.

    My only solice at this point is that every time I drive my boat in the Cheeapeake I have the privelege of grinding what is left of his remains through my prop!

    Heres to the dad that was never there. For the 2 times that I met him he didnt even try to share. He showed his family how much he cared. He has missed out on my 4 childrens lives and my sisters 2 kids lives and my brothers 2 kids lives just goes to show that this memorial is not only non factual but not even close to the man I knew. Its states he was a church going person but in real life cheated on every woman he either dated or married. He may have donated time to help but there was and always would have been a different reason for doing so.
    For my last words dad goodby good luck and good riddance from your son

    Christopher Paul Zglinicki son of Joseph Henry Zglinicki

    My Mother always told me “if you can’t say something nice don”t say anything at all.” So I won’t say anything.
