Passed away, Tuesday, July 23, 2019 surrounded by
his family. Josef was a wonderful man that was loved, is
missed, and will always be cherished. “Opa,” as he was
called by his grandchildren and loved dearly, was also
an amazing husband, father and son.
Josef was born December 23, 1924 in Linz,
Austria to parents Adolf and Adele Rosenhammer.
He was adventurous, an avid mountain climber,
skier (snow and water) and nature lover
throughout his whole life. He also enjoyed walking,
biking, reading, especially National Geographic
and spending time with his daughter, son-in-law and
grandchildren.
Josef is survived by his wife Erika, daughter Ute Fenech, son-in-law
Noel Fenech, and his three grandchildren, Jenna Fenech-Trocchia
(husband Guiseppe Trocchia), Lauren Fenech (fiance Mark Harris),
Lindsay Fenech (boyfriend Joseph Pearce) along with sister-in-law
Renate Rosenhammer (Ali Rosenhammer), niece Vitti Michel (Olivier),
nephew Wolfgang Gangl (Cornelia). He was preceded in death by his
parents, Adolf and Adele Rosenhammer, brother Ali Rosenhammer,
sister Rita Gangl-Hochmeyer and brother-in-law Helmut Hochmeyer.
