Joshua Christopher Farkas Obituary November 23, 1979 ~ July 7, 2022 (age 42)


Joshua Christopher Farkas Obituary November 23, 1979 ~ July 7, 2022 (age 42)

Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home https://www.myersdurborawfh.com/obituary/Joshua-Farkas 

Joshua C. Farkas, 42, of Westminster, died unexpectedly on Thursday, July 7, 2022. Born November 23, 1979, he was the son of Thomas Paul and Gwendolyn Ann Farkas. 

He was the loving husband of Amy B. Farkas, his wife of 15 years. He was the grandson of William Farkas; son-in-law of Darlene Spencer and John Braun, Jr; the brother of Jennifer Little and husband Doug, Kathryn Mahjoubian and husband Rob; brother-in-law to Angel Pheabus and husband Tim, Laura Braun, and John Braun, III and wife Angie; an uncle to Justin Pheabus, Marissa Resto-Braun, John Braun IV, Annabel Little, Kahlan Braun, Calum Little, Henry Mahjoubian, and William Mahjoubian.

Where do you start with such a special soul? After your first meeting with Josh, your takeaway would be how funny he is. He would keep you laughing with his quick wit and quips. Then when you got to know him better, you couldn't help but love him. 

His enthusiasm for all his favorite things was contagious - movies (horror was his all-time favorite), comics (especially Neil Gaiman's Sandman), all types of music, Superheroes (but it was really the Supervillains he preferred), Star Wars, Pro Wrestling (he really liked Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega, the Kenny Omega vs. Okada match was one of his favorites) and so many more. He'd capture you and make you into a superfan, too.  

Then you'd get to see his tremendous love for his wife, Amy, their 2 dogs, Ripley and Vesper, and their 5 cats, Fred, George, Loki, Gemma, and Harley. Josh loved spending time with them and traveling with Amy. Doing everything he could to support Amy and work toward their goals was very important to him. 

He would also treat you to the best damn meal you ever had. His holiday meals, chili, lasagna, pulled pork, and so many others would have you waiting for your next invite. 

If you were lucky, you would then get an invite to go to an Orioles baseball game with him. He loved being a season ticket holder and loved sharing that experience with his family and friends. Josh had such a giving heart. There are so many lives he touched, and he will live forever through us and our memories.

The family will receive friends from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 14, 2022, at MYERS-DURBORAW FUNERAL HOME, P.A., 91 Willis Street, Westminster, MD 21157. 

A funeral service will begin at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 15, 2022, with a visitation beginning at 10 a.m. at the funeral home. Interment will be private.

 In lieu of flowers, the family asks for memorial contributions in Josh’s name to Humane Society of Carroll County at https://hscarroll.org/donate/  .

Lyrics

Do you hear me, I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy, I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Kevin Dayhoff: A look back at the July 1938 Smith & Reifsnider fire

 Over 80 years ago, Carroll County was still reeling from the aftermath of fireworks of an unwelcome variety – the July 3, 1938 Smith & Reifsnider fire on John Street, one of the largest fires in the county’s history.

 Ironically, today, the property where the fire occurred has been occupied by the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department since Oct. 24, 1998.

VINTAGE 1958 KRAFT VELVEETA CHEESE COMMERCIAL


Yup, Velveeta, 104-years later, is still available

Yup, Velveeta is a food product from our childhood that is still manufactured. Velveeta, a brand name for a processed cheese product was first made by Emil Frey of the "Monroe Cheese Company" in Monroe, New York. According to a January 15, 2014 article in Smithsonian Magazine written by Natasha Geiling, found here, https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/there-is-no-shortage-history-when-it-comes-velveeta-180949312/?no-ist; Frey was “a Swiss cheesemaker who moved from Switzerland to upstate New York, where he worked in cheese factories in the late 1880s….”

Frey “learned that by adding a by-product of cheesemaking called whey, which is the liquid released from curds during the cheesemaking process, to the leftover Swiss bits, he could create a very cohesive end-product. Frey named the product Velveeta, and in 1923, the Velveeta Cheese Company became its own corporation. It was successful for a while as its own company (which was based out of Monroe, NY), but in 1927, it was sold to Kraft Foods…

“In 1931, the American Medical Association gave Velveeta its stamp of approval, citing that the product had all the necessary nutritional value to build ‘firm flesh.’

“Velveeta's popularity increased throughout the '30s, '40s and into the '50s--studies of consumer preference done in the 1930s found that two-thirds of Americans preferred processed cheese to natural cheese…”

Lenten Creation Care 2022 Cuidemos la Creación durante la Cuaresma de este 2022

Lenten Creation Care 2022 Cuidemos la Creación durante la Cuaresma de este 2022

Because our world can change a lot in 40 days. Porque el mundo puede cambiar mucho en 40 días.

Lent is a time for prayer, fasting, and more intentional sharing. This year, our church is joining with many others in heeding the call to be stewards of God’s Creation throughout this season. 

May this calendar remind us to be more mindful of the ways that our daily habits impact both our common home and all those with whom we share it. On behalf of future generations and all living in poverty — those most harmed by our damaged climate — may we answer God’s call to be faithful stewards, speaking out for Creation care.

A prayer from Psalm 51: 

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
Creator God, we begin this Lenten season asking for Your renewal. 
Through prayer, fasting, and sharing over these 40 days, 
we ask that our eyes be opened to the ways we can do better; 
in our relationships with You, Your Creation, 
and all those with whom we share this, our common home. 
Lord, help us to restore what has been damaged through our sinful overconsumption 
and the systemic injustices that surround us, returning to You with renewed spirits

Lenten Creation Care 2022 - Because our world can change a lot in 40 days.

Cuidemos la Creación durante la Cuaresma de este 2022

Porque el mundo puede cambiar mucho en 40 días.

La Cuaresma es un tiempo de oración, ayuno y participación de manera más consciente. Este año, nuestra parroquia está uniéndose a otras iglesias en responder al llamado de cuidar la Creación de Dios durante esta temporada. Recemos para que esta temporada nos haga más conscientes de las maneras en que nuestras acciones tienen impactos positivos para “nuestra casa común” y para aquéllos con quienes la compartimos. En representación de generaciones futuras y todos los que viven en la pobreza—los más impactados por nuestro deteriorado clima—que respondamos todos a la llamada de Dios y que seamos fieles guardianes, y nos pronunciemos a favor del cuidado de la Creación

Miércoles de Ceniza 
Empezamos esta temporada cuaresmal con una oración del Salmo 51: Por tu inmensa compasión 
y misericordia, Señor, apiádate de mí y olvida mis ofensas. Lávame bien de todas mis culpas ... 
Crea en mí, Señor, un corazón puro, un espíritu nuevo para cumplir tus mandamientos.
Dios Creador, empezamos esta temporada pidiendo por una renovación. A través de la oración, el ayuno y la 
participación a lo largo de estos 40 días, pedimos que nuestros ojos se abran a las maneras en que podemos 
mejorar; en nuestras relaciones contigo; tu Creación, y todos estos con quienes compartimos éste, nuestro 
hogar común. Confiamos en tu capacidad para crear en nosotros corazones limpios, para llevarnos del pecado 
a ser devotos guías, para usarnos como instrumentos de tu sanación. Señor, ayúdanos a restaurar lo que se ha 
dañado por nuestro excesivo e inmoral consumismo y las injusticias sistemáticas que nos rodean, regresando a 
ti con el espíritu renovado
