I’m deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Mrozek’s passing. I graduated 20+ years ago, and I still tell people about the high school guidance counselor who saved me during my senior year when I was struggling with decisions about my future. I felt lost, and he was a lifeline. He helped to change the trajectory of my career and my life; and I will be forever grateful for his thoughtful and caring guidance.

This amazing man has helped me through high school. He was so patient and caring about everyone. We will all miss you so much

My deepest condolences to the Mrozek family. I was very lost when my dad passed away and his support and guidance really helped me push through the last 2 years of high school. He helped shape me into the person I am today and I cant thank him enough. He will be greatly missed!

What a true loss this is. John was a fixture in the North Collins community and will be missed in many ways. From his stellar term as North Collins mayor, his visits to our kitchen with summer produce grown in his garden, to friendly chats from seeing him in the neighborhood, life will just not seem the same without John around. Heartfelt condolences to the entire family.

So sorry to hear about John. He was always friendly and nice to me at the High School.
