Gregory Kaszubowski

Here's one more photo of Greg "Kaz" Kaszubowski that I found today after searching in an old school yearbook. It is from the St. Patrick HS (Chicago) yearbook from 1963, when Kaz was a Freshman. We were just 13-14 years old, but by then we had already been good friends for a long time, since first or second grade. This photo captures how I remember him.

Kaz was a good friend of mine for many years. We went to the same elementary school (St. Robert Bellarmine) and, for our Freshman year, we were also classmates at St. Patrick HS, in Chicago. Here's a photo of Greg (Center front, kneeling, wearing baseball cap; I am to his left, with my family's pet Beagle, Tammy) and other friends in my back yard on Leland Avenue, 1960. We were in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts together. I am saddened to learn today (2/3/23) that he has passed away in June,...

My condolences to the entire Kaszubowski family. I have known Greg since I was a child on Giddings Street in Chicago. Greg was always a straight up guy and treated everyone with dignity and respect. Never heard him say a negative word about anyone. He was also my first drum hero in the neighborhood, playing at Prussing social center in the summer. A loving husband, father, brother, son, grandfather and friend. He will be missed by all.
