A person could not have better neighbors than Bertha and Carl Filak. To me they were true everyday heroes: hard workers, friendly and giving neighbors. Carl has been a strong and independent person who has lived his life in good measure. He was so fortunate to have his daughter, Candi, and son-in-law, Chris to stand by him in his final years of life. They showed true devotion. I will miss Mr. Filak. He is a loss to his family and the neighborhood.

Candy and Geri,
I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. He and your mother too,was a special part of my childhood memories growing up across the street. I miss them as well as those times.
