It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dr. Joseph Emil Kubica, on Sunday June 28, 2026. He was born on August 27, 1948, to Emil and Veronica (Moticik) Kubica. Joe graduated from St. Joseph’s High School in 1966 and continued his education at Marquette School of Dentistry and graduated in 1973.

He lived a life filled with compassion and dedication to the health and happiness of others. A talented dentist, he spent many years serving the Kenosha community, where he built lasting relationships with patients who often became like family.  Joe often brought his faithful companion, Elmo, to the office, where they quickly became familiar and welcome faces.
