Joseph M. (Joe Martin) Miluszusky

Joseph “Joe Martin” Miluszusky, 84, of Richmondale, died Friday morning at the Forest City Nursing Center. His wife, the former Ann E. Shino died in 2011.

Born November 26, 1932 in Browndale, he was the son of the late Joseph and Lottie Abromanviciute Miluszusky. His father was an inventor and successful businessman and founder of the Browndale Feed Store. Joe graduated from Forest City High School and attended radio school in New York City. Joe was famously known as Martin in the morning on WCDL radio in Carbondale for over 20 years beginning in the late 50’s. He was the creator of Scholastic which showcased over 20 area high school scholars who competed weekly with the program played back on Sunday afternoons on WCDL. The championship match was broadcast each year on WVIA TV. Joe was also part of the dynamic sports duo with Paul Oles doing the play by play of countless area football, baseball, and basketball games. One evening each year, Joe was the sole voice of WARM, the Mighty 590, so that all of the announcers of that station could attend their annual Christmas party.

After his radio career, Joe worked as a psychiatric aid at Farview State Hospital. He was also Clerk of Elections in Fell Township. Joe was an Army veteran and was devoted parishioner of St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic church in Forest City, which later became part of Ascension Parish. He loved spending time with his family.

He was the proud father of four sons, Joseph Martin and wife Susan, Scranton; Brian Milus zusky and wife Doris Korona, Rockaway, NY; Kevin Miluszusky, Richmondale, and Gary Miluszusky and wife Kelly, Richmondale; and three grandchildren Alexis, Mackenzie, and Mason; nieces and nephews.
