O.CARM. Zielinski

I have never forgotten, and will never forget, the kindness, compassion, and wisdom of Fr. Cas. While at the Carmelite Junior Seminary in Hamilton, Massachusetts, he taught us not only with words, but more importantly by example. As his student, I learned that life is precious and that education should be a life-long pursuit. Thank you, Fr. Casimir, and may you rest in eternal peace. You were a good man. Tom Thorpe, CJS '67

Fr, Cas was a big influence on my life. His wise -cracks, his genuine concern and friendship when i was at Mt. Carmel H.S. and later in the seminary made him approachable and fun to be around. Prepare a way for us, Caz.

Fr. Casimir: As you are laid to rest today in your hometown of Joliet, IL, know that your many former students from the Carmelite High Schools across the country and seminarians from The former Carmelite Jr. Seminary in Hamilton, MA are thankful for your dedication and humor in which you enriched their lives and imparted knowledge and wisdom into their sometimes thick skulls.

Father Kaz I will missing you. I believe you are in Heaven. Your polish friend Jolanta

Cas, we'll miss you and the good feelings you have left for the local (Florida) O.Carm. family and friends. We now you have not left us for good, just moved on ahead of us to prepare the way we will all walk someday. Ora Pro Nobis.

Fr. Cas, as we affectionally called him, was one of the best teachers, counselors and role models I have ever known. His kindness, wisdom and example has never been forgotten. He will remain a beacon for me for the remainder of my life. His devoted student, Tom Thorpe CSJ '67

God Bless this man of the cloth.
He will be missed.

What a wonderful man! If ever there was someone who found his calling and lived it to the fullest, it was Father Caz. I have often thought of him through the years with joy in my heart for having known him. He will be truly missed.
