Dear Mrs.&Mr. Smith,
our family was saddened to hear about Mr. Banasikowski death.
We know how difficult it must be for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
We had a pleasure to meet Mr. Banasikowski last year at his 95th Birthday Party and to hear wonderful stories about his heroic past. He had lived a long and difficult life and he'd been a man of honor and a strong person.
We know it's a great loss but we encourage you to draw on your strength and strength of your family.
May God bless you and your family during this time and always,
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Kostina and family

I do WW ll interviews, would have really enjoyed a interview with Mr. Banasikowski. Sounds like a real patriot who had the guts to fight a onslaught on Sept. 1 1939. What a history the man must of had. [email protected]
