Jean, Roger and Brian-I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. My late mom and dad (Eve and Franny Paradiso) always spoke fondly of spending time with both of you. Roxanne Paradiso Babian

Jean, Bryan and Roger,
I heard, Saturday, from Cousin Lee Benski, on the passing of Joseph. I met Uncle Joe, for the first time, at the 2010 Olender Family Reunion. A little history, the 3 brothers (Stanley, John, and Nicholas), that immigrated from Kolno, Poland, each named one of their sons, Joseph, in honor of their father. My father was Stanley's son, Joseph. I was happy that my dad was able to reunite with his cousin Joe and all the other cousins, at the family reunion. My dad passed away, 1 year later, in June 2011 at the age of 87. My wife Laura and I will not be able to attend the Mass on Wednesday, but our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
