Joseph Frederick Neubacher's Obituary
Joseph Frederick Neubacher, Jr., 80, went to be with the Lord on September 13, 2011. He died peacefully in his sleep after a prolonged illness. Born December 4, 1930 at his home in Southwest Detroit, MI, he is the son of Joseph (Sr.) and Henrietta (Bradach) Neubacher.

Joe and Mary retired and moved to Deltona, Florida, where he lived prior to his death. We the family rejoice with him that he is now in the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
