Michael Gregory Pelka CPD, age 49, April 27, 2004. Beloved husband of Grace M. Cwiok-Pelka; loving father of Emily and Becca; beloved son of the late Lolita and Dr. Francis X. Pelka D.D.S.; dear brother of Mark and the late Francis X. Pelka; fond son-in-law of Dorothy and Gerald Cwiok and...
Read MoreMy sister called me to relay the sad news. My parents were close friends of Lolita and Dr. Frank going back to the late1930's. Over the years we visited the Pelks's on many occasions. As I recall Lolita began her family later in life and she was truly overjoyed with her three sons. What a tragedy to leave this earth so early. Our harts and thoughts go out to the surviving family.

To the Family of Greg Pelka,
I am sorry for the loss of Greg for all of us. He was a friend for many years, through our days of bowling and golfing down south. And who could ever forget His Laugh.

To the family of Mike Pelka,
I just heard the shocking news that Mike passed away. I am so very sorry. What a great guy! I just saw him last month at the retirement party at the Beverly Woods. I am glad I was able to see him and talk to him, but like everyone else, never thought it would be the last time. I will never forget his sense of humor and wit. He was one of a kind! I know he will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him!!Words just seem so inadequate...

Grace, I am saddened to hear about Pelks. I am Pat Rubey's cousin. Greg and I went through Christ the King and Ignatius together. We rode to Iggy most every day - many times stopping for breakfast and silliness. I feel fortunate to have seen him again last fall. Eileen and I extend our deepest sympathies.
