Poppop,
I'm so grateful for the stories you told me over the years about Our Lady of Hungary and your time in the service. I remember how you loved animals. You were always sympathetic to the birds and the stray cats in your area. I think what I'll always keep with me is the memory of you when I was little. You were just getting ready go outside when you visited for Thanksgiving. You had on your hat with a cigar in your mouth, and you were laughing about something someone had said. I'll always remember you laughing.
Love You Always,
Your Granddaughter,
Jenny Monek

Pop Pop,
out of all the memories i have with you the ones that are more clear to me are those at the house. were you would play hide and seek with melissa, glenn and myself. or just hang out in the garage together. those times at the house are the memories i'll treasure most. I'll also remember the last time the girls and I visited you. How you played with the girls and you seemed to be having alot of fun with them. from playing catch with the stuffed dog to going outside with them. The first thing breann and ashlee said when they heard of your passing was " does that mean pop pop won't play with us anymore". so that visit meant alot to them and that day will be the best memory they will have.
love you pop pop
