My sincere sympathy for the loss of Michael Kachmar. My name is Joe Chisarick and my mother's maiden name is Kachmar. I am working on my family tree and wonder if you would be willing to share family relationships regarding our ancestry. My mother had cousins i both Wilkes Barre and Kingston (Kachmar), John, Emil and their children (Mary Ann). If any of these names are familiar to you, please contact me.

Lori, Hayley, and family, we are so sorry for your loss. While we never had the pleasure of meeting Pops, we feel we knew him thanks to your stories and your obvious love for him. He was a good man, and his spirit will be with you from now on. We will be there for you, too. Love, Kris and Heath
