I have known Charlie for the better part of 29 years, he is as close to a Father-In-Law as a man can be an not actually be a Father-In-Law. On many family get togethers my Father Doran Pololoff an Charlie would sit together and tell their stories about WWII. My Day flew in the B24's Charlie flew the B-26's. As they sat together swapping their adventures they turned in 20 year old men. Their faces lit up and as I watched from a distance a tear came to my eyes. Charlie & my Dad grew up in a different time, their sense of duty & honor is almost lost to the present generation. Charlie's devotion to his wife Mary was a thing of rare beauty, he set a fine example as to how a man should treat a woman and what a marriage is supposed to be.
Charlie made me a better person and I will always hold him dear to my heart

Mr. Kaczor was a great teacher. I had him for social studies in 7th grade. He had high standards and was always ready to help you out. He was a big influence in my life, encouraging me to join the military and make it a career, which I did. I knew he served but did not know to what extent until now. Thank you for your service to our country and your students.

My condolences to Mr. Kaczor's family. I remember his class at Murphy JHS well...though I'd forgotten about cross country coaching. I never knew about his service, I don't recall him ever speaking of it...but it explains the discipline he brought to his classroom and to the cross country course. Thanks to Mr. Kazor for his service to our country and to the hundreds of Montville kids he taught.

Mr. Kaczor was our 7th grade teacher at the High School when the 7th and 8th grade were on double sessions. Not only was he memorable in the classroom, he was a fixture in the 7th and 8th grade lunchroom, where he sold milk with a change belt around his waist. Priceless!! He never spoke directly about his service to our country until I met him again many year later, after he had retired (but was still substituting at the Middle School). My condolence to his family.

Thank you for all you taught me Mr. Kaczor. Still remember the bullhorn during cross country.

Mr. Kaczor was one my teachers early on @ Oakdale Elementary. He also taught my brother and sister as well. I have always remembered him as an excellent educator with a passion for history. I too have always been a history buff as early as grade school. I was unaware of his history and as a veteran salute him for his service. He made a difference in our lives as an educator and he will be sorely missed. Godspeed old friend. May you have fair winds and following seas on your new journey.

Wow, reading these messages brings back strong memories of my life as a 7th grade student of Mr. Kaczor's when it was held in the old school at St. Johns in mid-70s. He was a great teacher, one of our basketball coaches, and I'm sure we tested him on our field trip to Gettysburg. He was very motivating to me to always do my best. My condolences to the family, but you should be very proud of the positive impact he had on so many lives.

Mr. Kaczor was an awesome substitute teacher at Tyl Middle School. He was kind, caring, funny, and told a lot of great stories. His family was from Poland (my famiAndes from Poland) and told me about his Polish family and trips to Poland. His family came from Mielec, Poland which is near my family's hometown.He was a patient of mine at Greentree Manor and it was an honor to care for "Charlie" (which is what he wanted me to call him) during his final days. Charlie made me smile and told me one final story about his trip to Poland. Charlie touched many lives. To the Kaczor family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr Kaczor coached me in cross country a long long time ago. I regret I knew about his distinguished military career but as a retired Navy sailor I stand here in Jacksonville Florida and salute him. He was an inspiration before I knew what he did for our country. I still can recite the preamble and am pretty pride of that. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Wish I was closer so I could pay my respects. RIP, Mr. Kaczor....you really set the stage for so many of us. Signed a former student.

I too was a student of Mr. K. He never talked about his distiquished career that I can recall. He was a good teacher and I am glad that I had him at an early stage of my education.
Thanks, and RIP.

Charlie--or Stosch as he will always be to me--was the closest thing I had to a brother. Our mothers were sisters and growing up and into adulthood he spent numerous summers visiting or working in my parents store in the Catskills. He was a big brother, mentor,chauffeur then driving instructor, prank player, and friend. Although miles separated us for most of our adult lives he never lost touch and was always there for you. He always had and always will have a special place in my heart. Love , prayers and sympathy to all the family.

Sorry that I never knew about Charles and his family, I only know Wanda.
Sort of strange, Charles obviously was a wonderful person to know.
He would be my first cousin.

Charlie was an amazing influence in my 3 sons lives. Jason, Matthew and Nickolas consider Charlie there grandfather and basically he was. When the boys did well in school it was Charlie who the first person they wanted to tell. Charlie was at their baseball games, football games, wrestling tournaments and Nick's lacrosse games. He was present at all their graduations. Charlie will forever hold a special place in my heart for the presence he had in my boys lives. Charlie will be sadly missed by all of us, but we have so many memories that bring us laughter and that is a gift we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.
