Despite old age and poor health, Jože shared regularly in preaching the good news and later, until his death in May of 1995, faithfully served as a ministerial servant in the congregation.
Vaatamata oma kõrgele eale ja halvale tervisele, osales Jože korrapäraselt hea sõnumi kuulutamises ning teenis hiljem koguduses ustavalt teenistusabilisena kuni oma surmani 1995. aasta mais.
