JOSEPH "JOE" FRANK MUNGOVAN         

died peacefully at home on Monday, June 18th.  Born August 24, 1931 in Fort Wayne, he was the son of the late Thomas and Agnes (Bonifas) Mungovan.  Joe was a veteran of the Korean War proudly serving our country in the United States Navy as both a Fireman and Barber from July, 1950 to May, 1954.  Joe then went on to become a Barber in Fort Wayne where he operated his shop on Creighton and Calhoun before retiring in 2014.
