Hello! I am truly sorry for everyone's loss. I know that he was not my Grandpa for long but he accepted me and treated me with as much love as he could. I grieve with everyone else for his loss and truly wish that i would have got to see him before he passed. I'll miss everything about him he was just the cutest little thing. Take care Grandpa and give Grandma Kaz a big hug when you see her.God Bless!

MY THOUGHT AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THOSE WHO HAVE LOST JOHN (GRANDPA). HE WAS A GREAT MAN, WHO HAD SERVED IN THE NAVY AND THEN WAS BLESSED IN MARRYING FRANCES PARUCKI (GRANDMA) AND CREATED A FAMILY OF 3 CHILDREN. HE WAS A GOOD FATHER, WHO MIGHT HAVE NOT ALWAYS MADE THE RIGHT CHOICES IN LIFE BUT HE DID LOVE AND WORRY ABOUT ALL 3 OF HIS CHILDREN VERY MUCH. THE MISTAKES HE THOUGHT HE MADE WITH HIS CHILDREN WERE THEN MADE UP THREW HIS GRANCHILDREN, WHO HE ALSO LOVED AND WORRIED ABOUT VERY MUCH. AS HE GOTTEN OLDER HIS OLD ROUTINES OF EXERCISING HIS RIGHT ARM HAD PASSED AND MADE MORE TIME FOR THE ONES HE LOVED. JOHN (GRANDPA) WAS ALWAYS THERE WHEN YOU NEEDED HIM, MAY IT BE A RIDE TO WORK, A PIZZA DROPPED OF WHEN YOUR PARENTS AREN'T HOME OR TEACH YOU HOW TO DRIVE A CAR. HE WOULDN'T LET YOU TOUCH ANY OF HIS THINGS. BUT HE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD EYE FOR SEEING PENNIES FROM HEAVEN. IF THE NOOKIES (LINT) WAS ON THE FLOOR HE WAS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO SEE AND PICK THEM UP. HE LIKED PLAYING PENUCKLE AND SMOKING CIGERETTES, BUT YOU COULDN'T GET TO CLOSE BECAUSE HE WOULD ALWAYS SAY "AH HALADA!". (SOME KIND OF WORD IN POLISH) WHEN HIM AND FRANCES (GRANDMA) WANTED TO SURPRISE THE GRANCHILDREN WITH SOMETHING YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW BECAUSE THEY WOULD TALK IN POLISH AND SHUT THE KITCHEN SLIDE DOOR.(THAT SUCKED) HE WAS A GOOD COOK WHO MADE 3 GREAT THINGS, HOMEMADE POTATOE CHIPS, LUMPY FERINA, AND FRYED PORK CHOPS (ONLY WITH HIS FRYING PAN.) JOHN (GRANDPA) WASN'T REALLY A NERVOUS PERSON BUT GET HIM GOING AND ALL HE WOULD DO IS GET JIDDERY AND SAY "UH' WITH HIS HEAD TILTING BACK JUST SLIGHTLY. (IT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY SOMETIMES.) WITH ALL THE MEMORIES THAT WE ALL HAVE JOHN (GRANDPA) ISN'T TOTALY GONE HE'S JUST A PRAYER AWAY AND IS IN A BETTER PLACE WITH HIS WIFE FRANCES (GRANDMA) THAT HE HAD MISSED SINCE 2000. ALL WE HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST, YOU CAN ONLY LEARN AND FORGIVE AND REMEMBER ALL GOOD TIMES WE'VE HAD SHARED WITH JOHN (GRANDPA). EVEN THOUGH SOME COULDN'T SAY GOOD-BYE IN PERSON, IT DOESN'T MATTER HE STILL (I BELIEVE) KNEW YOU WANTED TOO AND LOVED YOU NO MATTER WHAT. (HE WAS THAT TYPE OF MAN) SO, CHEERS TO YOU JOHN (GRANDPA) WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!
