Joseph Whitlock Obituary
John retired after 21 years of dedicated service to the USAF. He loved his family, his fishing and his football (GO BRONCOS!) John was also the "go to" man for anything that was broken or that needed to be fixed. He always loved giving a helping hand.
He will be deeply missed by his wife of 58 years Rita, his son Richard (Judy) of Lewiston, Maine; his daughters, Laurie (Ken) of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Cindy (Perry) of Castle Rock, Colorado and Gina (Michael) of Parker, Colorado; 11 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Services will be held Saturday, November 29, 2014 at the Retired Enlisted Association at 834 Emory Circle, Colorado Springs, CO 80915 at 10:00am.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Colorado Heart Association.

John, when you had to quit bowling you very much missed. Not just the team, but the entire league. Your sense of humor and kindness touched everyone around you. You were a dear friend and you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend. My heart goes out to Rita and family.
