Pawel A. Kontny

My heartfelt condolences for Irmgard, Mario and Yvonne...words fail in trying to express the shock and sadness of losing a friend such as Pawel. I knew Pawel for over 30 years and never considered him other than one of my most cherished friends and in whom I found both a teacher and mentor. Pawel always somehow seemed larger than life. He was a unique and wonderful man who will be long remembered and missed by all who have had their lives touched by his. His talent as an artist was...

The world is now bereft of true renaissance man, a "mensch" for all seasons. The rare, but challenging
repartee I shared with him is forever etched in my soul. Pawel's
gifts to us will live on in our posterity with tangible remembrance.

Grace and I offer our deepest sympathy on the passing of Pawel. He was an exceptionally talented artist, a wonderful husband, a beautiful father, and a generous friend. The art he gave to our family will always be cherished and I trust, Irmgard, that you got to read to him the notes from our family. May God be with him.

Rod and Grace
