I grew up with Jim on the South Side and have many good memories of a time spent on Maple Avenue, St. Michael's school and Butler High. I moved away after my Navy years and we never saw each other again. I was hoping to see him at our 50th Class reunion, but he was not in good health and could not attend. My sinceere condolences to the entire Kudika family,

My papa with his grandchildren at his grandson boot camp graduation.
The words cant describe the hurt I have when it comes to the thought of not being able to communicate or interact with my papa anymore. But the feeling I have when I realize he will no longer be in such pain anymore, Helps me recover from the tears. I love my papa more then words can describe and he will forever live in my heart and no matter how far.. I know he will always be by my side and protect me from the flames of life just like he did when he was with us physically. I love you papa, I...
