We have lost a generous and loving fried. John was a brother I never had. We will miss him very much. I will never forget the fishing trips or days spent on horse racing. His kindness and generosity touched many people in his shortened life. We and your friends will never forget you. With all our love, Mark & Mary Kazmierczak.
