To the Bereaved Survivors of Our Deceased Brothers and Sisters, the SPJST Supreme Lodge Expresses Its Heartfelt Sympathy. Fraternally, Leonard D. Mikeska, FIC Chief Financial Officer —SPJST—
In Memoriam Resolution of Sympathy The members of Karel Jonáš, Lodge 28, East Bernard, express our sympathy to the family of EMIL WILLIAM FALTISEK, JR., age 94, who passed away peacefully at home in Lake Jackson, Texas, on Friday, March 12, 2021. Memorial service was held on Wednesday, March 24 at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Lake Jackson, beginning with a visitation at 10 a.m. and rosary at 10:30 Emil Faltisek, Jr. a.m., followed by mass of Christian burial at 11 a.m. Interment followed at Restwood Memorial Park with Military Funeral Honors. Born on March 31, 1926, to Helen Keprta and Emil Faltisek in East Bernard, he grew up with five sisters, and was affectionately called “Sonny.” Immediately after graduating from high school, he enlisted in the United States Army Air Force and became a B-17 bomber tailgunner in World War II. By 19 years of age, he was honorably discharged after flying 24 European missions, and awarded the Victory Medal, the Air Medal with two Bronze Leaf Clusters, a Sharpshooters Medal, the American Theater Ribbon, the EuropeanAfrican-Middle Eastern Medal with three Battle Stars, and the Good Conduct
Medal. Emil married Ollie Rachunek in December 1946, and soon after they moved to Lake Jackson. He began his 39-year career as an instrument technologist with Dow Chemical Company, where many coworkers knew him only as “Kingfish.” When there were problems, Kingfish was the one called out to solve them, often in the middle of the night. Emil and Ollie had seven children and raised them in the same home where Emil lived until his death. Emil was an active member of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, and previously of its home parish St. Mary: Star of the Sea Catholic Church. Emil was truly one of the “Greatest Generation” who knew how to make-do and solve problems. He was hard-working and responsible, a faithful believer, brave and honest, a man of integrity. Truly one of a kind, he’s been described as “a diamond in the rough” and “salt of the earth.” Well known for his directness and brutal honesty, he was also quite charming, with a sense of humor and a quick wit. He enjoyed staying busy: fixing anything broken - even if it meant designing a needed part, woodworking in his garage or at side jobs, tending to his cows and spending time at “the pasture.” He was an expert carpenter, often volunteering his skills at his church and Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic School. As “Gramps,” he especially loved holding and spoiling the babies, reading to the youngest, giving tractor rides, pushing in the tire swing, playing ball or attending ballgames. He enjoyed hunting at the deer lease, playing poker and dom-
