The Pastuszak family lived next door to us on Newton St. for over 40 years. Stephen, Christine, Andrew & Keith grow up along with our son Ed. Through those many years, we were there for each other through joy & sorrow. We were devastated to learn of Andrew's diagnosis a few years ago. And, it is with great sadness that we must now face a final goodbye. While there are no words to take away your grief, may the fond memories of Andrew help sustain each of you. Ed & Joyce Hornkohl
