To the Kocik Family, I was extremely shocked and saddened to learn of Father Kocik's passing last weekend. I was the choir director at St. Mary's for 12 years, soon after he began his ministry at the church, and I came to know him as a wonderful and deeply caring priest who had a great sense of humor. His homilies were to the point and very profound and certainly gave me a great deal to contemplate. There will be a long-lasting deep void in my heart for "Father Frank" but I am comforted...

Dear Loretta, John and the rest of the Kocik Family, Our deepest condolences at the passing of Father Frank. He was a faithful servant of God and a wonderful friend. He will deeply be missed by Mike and I. God Bless You All. Judi.

Dear Kocik family,

So sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I have many fond memories of our friendship and time together at Binghamton North High, those many years ago. When I later heard that he had a vocation to the priesthood, I was not surprised. His goodness and grace were evident even as a young man.

Thoughts and prayers,
