Jonathon, Marie & Dan please accept my most deepest and sincere condolences for the loss of your dad. He was loved by many and was one of a kind. He will be missed greatly but his memories will live on in your hearts and that is what will get you thru the sadness of the present and to the promise of the future. His unique sense of humor and his enjoyment of life set an example for all of us who knew and loved him. My prayers are with you and your entire family. God bless you all.

Dear Jon and Marie, and the entire Strzezewski family, my heart is heavy at this time for the loss of your Dad. My love and prayers are with each one of you. He was a very special man to me, and a dear and loving friend for many years. He will be dearly missed.

My Love, you lifted me up
Whenever I was down,
You held my hand and comforted me,
When sadness fell around.

You have made me laugh and cheered me when no one else could

You were the kind of person people longed for.
Together through thick and thin we have stood.

You had an uncanny ability
To make light of every situation,
And every day of our lives,
I thanked God for you, his creation

You never ceased to amaze me
And I loved you...

John & Marie

Our deepest sympathies Marie and Johnathon. We are going to miss you dad, our brother- brother-in-law, he was a very kind hearted man, and a lot of fun. May the good Lord get you thru the hard times ahead.
We will miss you John.
All our love,
Tracy & Bob Strzezewski

We knew John as "Big John", "The Mayor", and "Papa John". He always had a cigar for Pete, a hug for Emily, and a kiss for me. We will miss you, John!
