I had the honor of meeting your Dad at Clare Bridge while visiting my Mom there every day for the past 8 months. I always looked forward to seeing your Dad and chatting with him. He always said to me 'You a nice lady' in that accent of his. He always was able to make me laugh! He was a great man and I feel privleged to have had the opportunity to get to know him. I was sad to hear he had left Clare Bridge and missed him terribly. Now it's even sadder to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers (Polish Prayers, of course!) are with you and your family.

Martha, Barbara, Gary and Grandchildren,
Remembering all the good times we shared with your parents and mine. There must be a Polka dance in Heaven now with lots of visiting, good food and a few beers. I cherish those memories. God bless you, Uncle Mike.
Love, AnnMarie
