To the entire family,
I had the honor of being his daughter-in-law for almost 20 years. My love for him is the same as if he were my own father. He was always there for me and my family. I will cherish all of the times we had together and especially the stories he shared with me. I will pass those stories down to my son that carries the same honorable name as him, JOHN HAJDUK III, as well as his brother Travis. My love & prayers go out to the whole family. I will miss him deeply, but I know that he is now at peace.

Ann and family,
I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hajduk. I did however have the pleasure of working with Ann at Life Insurance Co. Va.. She could always brighten up a day with stories of her family and her life. What an honor it was to know and work with Ann. I read about your Father and what a courageous life he led. I will be praying for each of you in the days ahead.
God Bless,
Shelby Goins

My thoughts and prayers are with Julie, Collin, and the rest of the family. I wasn't fortunate enough to meet Mr. Hajduk, but I know what kind of man he must have been because I know what kind of daughter he raised. Love you Jul, and I am here if you need me.
