Pop, we miss you already ole' boy. Thanks for being such a loving, caring and inspirational figure in our lives. You instilled so much in all of us. It was truly an honor to sit and listen to you while we discussed daily events, sports, events of World War II and D-Day and other historical happenings. You and Gram were very special and very loving to us all. Words cannot describe your loving demeanor and how much you truly meant to us all. We won't ever forget the talk radio being on and the...

Pop, you were like a father to me. You were always there and I will never forget that. I will cherish all of the times we spent together.

It’s an honor to have been your grandson. I could never repay you for everything which you and gram have done to make our lives special and for your generosity and...

My condolences to Mr. Polyniak's family. You probably do not remember me. I was Bernadete Higgins's neice. Many a day I walked past your home, to my aunt's. John and Cleo would be working in the yard, or sitting on the side of the house- always friendly-even to a little kid like me.

Later, I knew Suzanne when she worked in the ER at Harbor.I work in the pharmacy. I know you all were dedicated to both your parents. I will be praying for you all in the days ahead for comfort...

So sorry for your loss. I recall many years ago how you expressed how much you loved him and how proud of him you were. The good side of all of this is that you had the time you had with him and he was not taken years ago. Enjoy the memories and take from it to become a better man yourself.

You and your family are in my prayers. You can choose to celebrate his life, as opposed to mourning your loss. The celebration is always a happier road.

John was one of the greatest people I have ever known. Period.
