Greetings and Kindness are my memories of "Mr Kolesar"! as a small child. Knowing Twink first, gave me the introduction to her Dad, Mom and siblings. With "Dad's" outgoing welcoming, I became a member of this Amazing and Fun family! His guidance & discipline-strict it seemed, at times!-were instrumental in raising each one to be their own unique expression that is a contribution. We've grown and developed into people who He can be proud of, as his offspring and the tradition is being...

To the Kolesar Family,
Sorry to read of your Father/Husband's passing. We were neighbors for a short time but will never forget our friends, the Kolesars. My Dad, John Cencula, had recently remarked how he very much enjoyed the friendshp of his neighbor Steve.
Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you in this time of great loss and grief. A grief we share and know too well with the recent passing and loss of my Mom, Eleanor.
We extend our deepest and most sincere sympathy...

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of my AZ cousins and to you Aunt Joan. Steve was one of a kind and anyone who met him remembered him. I always think of him and fishing. Ovie was right when he said Uncle Steve was a huge presence. You are in my prayers for continued healing and peace.

To the Kolesar family,

I only knew Mr. Kolesar from Mary "twink" sharing many memoriable moments in her life with me, until I attended his homecoming. Your family told a story of Mr. Kolesar's life. The story, which depicted an oiled canvas potrait of the man which I had never met, but knew I would have loved to. The clips and comments about him were heartfelt, touching and full of laughter. Clearly, you could see how much of an influence he had on you all and others. You all...

To the Kolesar Family:
In this time of your grieving, may our heavenly Father,
Carry you on strong wings.
Be your patience day by day
when the heartache refuses to leave.
Be your strength when you are exhausted.
Be your hope when you feel overwhelmed.
Be your faith when you do not understand.
Be your trust when you are distraught.
Be your peace when you are filled with tears.
We ask this through Our Lord and Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Dear Aunt Joan. I am so sorry to hear that Steve died. I thought he would live forever. I am so happy to have talked to him last week.

Steve was such a huge presence. He filled up the room with his personality. The only rival for that I can remember was Uncle Alfred, Elvira's husband.

And although I have not seen him, nor you, Joan, the memories I have of the both of you together are fond and happy ones.
Sadly, as I got more involved with my immediate family, I...

Kolesar’s, your dad was a big influence on all of the boys of our generation. Whether it was the boy scouts or little league baseball, Mr. Kolesar was always there to lend a helping hand. Thanks for sharing your dad.
