Not sure what to say?

I worked with Tary for many years at RTA and remember him fondly. I also remember running into him at a Mannheim Steamroller concert. Both surprised to see each other there. Condolences to his family.

My dear friend, mentor and counselor, I will miss you immensely, Taras.

Szmagala Family, The Saint Martin community is praying for you doing this season of loss.

I offer my deep condolences for the loss of your loved one. I hope 1Thesialonians 4:14 offers you hope and comfort.

I worked with Taras at GCRTA for a number of years. During that time he became my political godfather. He shared many stories with me and taught me quite a few lessons. He was a special man. He will be missed. Mark Ruzic

Rest in peace. I will always remember our work and travel together. We always found a Mass to attend. You and your family are in my prayers. Sheryl Benford

Dear Katherine and Taras. . .please accept my sincere condolences on Terry's passing. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Terry at Ohio Attorney General Petro's Cleveland Office and appreciated his thoughtful advice and counsel through his leadership in the Cuyahoga County Republican Party. May you find some comfort in knowing Terry now rests in God's warm and loving embrace. The entire Szmagala family is in my thoughts and prayers.

In addition, Tary was a very special man and I was open to my appeals to build a bridge between Ukrainian and Jewish communities. I shall remember our friendship for the rest of my life. Marty Plax

Sincerest condolences to the entire family. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Marty Plax
