He was one of four children born to Frank and Elizabeth (Horinek) Farnik. Joe grew up on the family homestead near Hingham and received his formal education there. He graduated from Hingham High School in 1936. The following year he began working for the C. C. C.'s (Civilian Conservation Corps). Although Joe never served in the military, he contributed to the war effort by working in the Seattle shipyards during World War II. On November 23, 1945, he married Dorothy Dion at Havre. They spent their married years together in the Hingham community, where Joe farmed and ranched his entire life. He officially retired in 1982, but continued to help his son, Michael, with the farming operations. Joe was diagnosed with cancer in 1996. In this past December he entered the Liberty County Nursing Home in Chester. He died peacefully there on the early morning of Tuesday (February 18, 1997). He was 79 years old. "Blackfoot Joe," as he was affectionately called by his friends, was an avid fisherman. Some of his fondest memories were made during those many fishing trips to his cabin at Duck Lake over the years. Joe also enjoyed local sporting events, especially when his three sons were active in the Hingham school system. Joe loved his role in life as a Montana farmer. He could spend hours behind the wheel of a "John Deere 105 Combine" during harvest season. In the springtime he enjoyed driving around the farmstead to maintain gopher control with his trusty .22 caliber rifle. Last but not least he loved to play cards (especially cribbage and poker), mainly for the social benefits of being with his "buddies" in the Hingham community. Joe is survived by three sons, Doug (and Jo-Nell) Farnik of Joshua Tree, California, Jerry (and Marilyn) of Prague, Czech Republic, and Michael Farnik of Hingham; and their mother, Dorothy Farnik of Great Falls; seven grandchildren (including Jennifer, Melody, Jared, Autumn, and Havalind); one great-grandson (Bryce); one brother, Otto Farnik of Havre; two sisters, Martha ("Marty") Perry of Columbia Falls and Mary Olson of Billings; and numerous nephews and nieces. Joe was preceded in death by his parents and a son (Eddy Farnik). The funeral mass was celebrated by Father Joseph Marmion at 10:00 a.m. Saturday (February 22) at Our Lady of Ransom Catholic Church in Hingham. Rachel Blake served as organist and Marcus Jochim sang "On Eagle's Wings," "Be Not Afraid," "We Remember," "Fill My Cup Lord," and "Where We'll Never Grow Old." Terry and Dan Hybner served the altar and shared scripture readings. Joe's son, Doug, gave the eulogy. Usher was Mike Lipp and pallbearers were Allen Chinadle, Erwin Carlson, Ed Carlson, Ed Lipp, John May, Herb White, and Virgil Jurenka. Interment followed in the Hingham Cemetery.
