Paul Joseph Leturgez Jr. (Joe)

Paul Joseph Leturgez, Jr (Joe), age 72, passed away on June 18 at Upper Chesapeake Hospital due to cancer complications. Born in Roaring Spring, PA, he moved to Maryland in the early 60’s and made his home there. Joe loved attending his grandson’s sports events, travelling through Europe, and walking the Ma & Pa Trail in Forest Hill, greeting people and giving out dog treats. He also loved cooking and hosting family celebrations.

Joe served his church, Mountain Christian, in various capacities through the years, including Deacon and Elder. After his retirement from the IT management field, he joined the staff of Mountain as Finance & IT Director, a position he has held for over ten years. More than a job, it was his ministry that he gave himself to wholeheartedly.

Joe deeply loved his God, his church and his family.

He is survived by Linda, his beloved wife of 27 years, and his cherished children Jennifer Williams and husband George, Laura Jagdman and husband Brian, stepson Robert MacAnespie, and grandchildren Christian, Noah and Josiah Jagdman. Joe is also survived by his brother James (Jim) Williams and wife Renee. He was the son of the late Paul Joseph Leturgez Sr. and Kathryn Evelyn (nee Rhodes). He was also predeceased by his first wife Carole Elizabeth.
