James A. Sawicki

I have known Mr. Sawicki for years, and have served him at our Staples store in Woodbridge. I will miss my friend and customer, and I wan't his family to know that it's because of the freindships( like Mr. Sawicki) that I have developed in the past, after 20 years I am still employed at Staples.See you on the other side my friend, look for me (smile).

"I will miss Jim. He was a very special man. I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to meet Jim. Jim and Mary were always both friendly and there for everyone. May God comfort Mary and the family during this time of loss." Sue Peters (Woodbridge, VA)

Deb and family, I feel your loss. Your Dad was one most interesting man that I have ever met. I have many fond memories of the time that we had together.

I will always treasure my memories of times spent with my precious Papa Jim. I am blessed to call him my grandpa. I "adopted" him but he was more than adopted, he was truly my grandpa.

To Miss Mary and her family, you will remain in my prayers. Athan and I are here for you in whatever way we can help. We love you.

To my dad- James Sawicki- what an inspiration you have been for me my entire life. You had high expectations for us and hopefully we met them. I cherish the time we spent together now more than ever. I am so glad I got to say so many things to you in the nursing home and I am so glad we were able to bring you home for your final days. We KNOW you did not want to live out your days in any nursing home. I love you now and will always!!! Your first born, Lin (Linda Sawicki Wince)

Debbie and I cherish fond memories of time spent with Jim. With an insatiable appetite for knowledge, he frequently asked me the critical questions related to life but I always had a sense that he already knew the answers. Most importantly, Jim embraced "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" and by now he has heard his Master say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." I will miss my dear friend until we meet again on the other side. Mary and family, be assured of our prayers.

Jim was a great man. Like his wife Mary, he was always so friendly and a delight to be around. I learned a lot from him and it is his story that inspired the documentation of not only his tale - but the tales of other soldiers that served after him. Thank you for your service and your friendship. - Greg

Mrs. Sawicki, and family – As I open the Journal Messenger New Paper on Thursday morning I was sorry to see Jim picture with the information that he had passed away. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. I have fond memories of the many Thursday nights spent bowling with Jim in the Men Commercial League at the Dale City Bowling Center. Jim and I met around 1980 one evening as we were at the bowling alley looking for a team to bowl with. He and I continue on to Thursday Night...
