What a great tribute to my father this windy day. He was truly loved and will be missed by so many. I keep wanting to reach for the phone and tell him about all the news I have heard in the past 2 days. I always shared everyones joys and sadnesses with him either in person or on the phone. How I will miss that time together. Rest in peace, Daddy, you have earned it. Heart felt thanks to all the relatives and friends who shared these past 2 days with us. Love, Carole

Mr. Kochan will be missed dearly. This man as seen so much and has so much that he has shared with his family and friends. What a wonderful person he is. 103 years old and now he has joined his wonderful wife in heaven, and walk among the angels. His life was a celebration, that we could only wish for.
Mr. Kochan, you have been a wonderful kind caring man. I'm sorry for the family's loss, but he will forever be in your hearts.
God Bless You All
