Dear Duquesne Community,

The Duquesne City School District would like to express its sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of former district employee and contractor John Joseph.  Mr. Joseph served in the district’s maintenance department for many years and was beloved by our students and staff.  A resident of McKeesport, Mr. Joseph was a friendly, warm and joyful person, and greatly contributed to the positive environment at our school.  His absence will be keenly felt.

Sincerely,

Sue A. Moyer,

Superintendent
