Andrew "Joe" Joseph Sekera passed away unexpectedly on 1 July 2016. Mr. Sekera was born in Wilkes Barre, PA on 24 November 1941 to the late Joseph Sekera and the late Mary Sordoni Sekera.

He was an alumni of Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, PA and retired from the Brevard County Sheriff's Department in Florida as a Lieutenant in 1989. Mr. Sekera's favorite sport was tennis and he played competitively in local leagues and the USTA. He had a great love of cars and both built and collected them. Mr. Sekera was an avid bowler and won both the Brevard All Events and the state of Florida All Events in 1966. The winnings helped to begin their married life. He served as Chairman of the Brevard County Personnel Council FL for several years before permanently moving to Epworth, GA in 2005.
