Terry and family:
With a heavy heart we extend to you our sincere condolences. We have lost a great man. His life here on earth has made a lasting impression on so many of us. His smile and willingness to help others will be remembered forever.

We know that there is a great polka ballroom in heaven. Stan will be doing plenty of dancing as he always did here, and, as always, will wear out his dancing partners.

The daily morning rosary is just not the same anymore -- there is a huge void.

DO WIDZENIA Stas, until we meet again

When Mary Ann and I visited him last year he was in good spirits and bragged about his dancing all over the area; he was very happy his leg operation(s) were successful.
I remember him as a caring Uncle.
My sincerest condolences to the entire family esp. Aunt Terry.

I am so sorry. I went to St. Anthony's school with (Jake) class 1940. We walked to school in those days. I met up with him when I visited my family last year and met him in church. It was the most delightful meeting after so many years. My name is Louise Fortuna Moran and I live in Florida. He is with God and most of my family in Heaven. L

Dear Nadolny family,

Our thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow. When I think of Mr. Nadolny, I think of what a true friend he was to my parents, how welcoming he always was as an usher at church and how he was able to overcome any limitations with his knee replacements in order to dance.

I hope that your memories bring you much comfort.
