To all of the Ploski family,
I am so sorry to hear of Henry's passing . I worked with him for many years at Shawsheen Tech, and he was truly a wonderful gentleman , who will be sadly missed by all. My fondest memories of Henry are times that we played golf, whether down the Cape, or in the Shawsheen golf League. He was always an inspiration to me . My deepest condolences to to all.

Barbara, Michael, Kenny & Rob,

I am sorry to hear of Uncle Henry's passing. He was a warm and caring person that has a special place in the memories of all of the Barry family. I can not look back on my childhood and youth without thinking of Barry Cookout's and each year looking forward to seeing what was growing in Uncle Henry's garden or having fun on one of his tractor rides! At one of the recent cookouts we shared recipes and tips for making a good pie crust. I will always remember him fondly. He was a true gem!

With love and sympathy,
Theresa (Barry) Cassidy

I was very sad to hear of Mr. Ploski's passing. I did not have the opportunity to know him for very long, but as his neighbor enjoyed the little chats we had about the lawn and the apple tree and many other things. I will miss the sound of his lawnmower and the constant wonderful smell of fresh cut grass. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Dear Barbara,Michael, Kenand Robert.
My husband Marek, my son Andrew and his wife Sylvia and me myself are deeply grieved to learn of the death of your father. I was going to call him coming week-end to remind him that 6 years are just passing from our visit to him and to have a nice chat as usually. Unfortunately I'll never talk to him again. Please accept our sincere condolences in your great loss.

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Ploski. I was a student of his at Shawsheen and was grateful that I had him as a mentor. He was a fine man and a wonderful person. He will be missed.

Barbara, Michael,Ken, and Rob,

My condolences on the passing of your father. As my visits to Billerica have increased during the past few years, I have have had many opportunities to spend time with your dad and have some great conversations. We talked about current events, the weather, kids and grandkids, how much the old neighborhood has changed,golf,dogs... just to name a few. I have fond memories of these conversations and I am really going to miss them. It's hard for me to imagine going to my mother's house this summer and not seeing your dad out on the tractor or working in the yard. I wish that I was in town so that I could express my condolences to each of you in person, but at the moment I am Columbus doing some consulting and am commuting to New Hampshire on the weekends. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Tom Horan
