Mark and Family Penny and I send our Condolences and prayers.
He was a great man!

My name is Daniel Bucko from Poland. It is with great sadness that James passed away. He was my grandmother's distant cousin. I always read the New Britain newspapers to keep track of my relatives who immigrated there. James's grandparents were from Dabrowa, Poland, where I was born. My family wants you to know that we are thinking of your family and are sorry for your loss. If you wish to contact me please email me at - [email protected]

On behalf of my Family, I would like to extend my condolences to the Zapatka Family. I'll always remember how you welcomed me into your home when I visited Jason when we were in college. An incredibly warm and welcoming Family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and, especially, to your Dad. God Bless.

Marcia,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Alex S. (Neuro)

Marcia and Family - My condolences to you and your family on losing Jim. We drifted apart over the years but that is what happens in life. I can relate to your anguish at this time as I went through the same thing almost 5 years ago but I can tell you it will get better and you will fondly remember all the good things and times you had together. I will keep you and you family in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope Jeremiah 29: 11, 12 brings you some comfort during this difficult time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Marcia, My sincere condolences to you and your family on Jim's passing. Dennis Bartnik, Farmington, Ct.
