I am so sad to hear about this. Mr. Witowski was a long term patient of mine at Dr. Cioffi's office in Orange Park. He always always made me smile and I always looked forward to his appointments. We had the greatest conversations, he loved to talk about cars and movies and concerts he had been to. You are dearly missed, Mr. Witowski, and I hope you are resting in peace now ♥. With love always, your dental hygienist, Jennifer ...

Mysia, sorry to get this news. I was in scouting and St. James with Tad in Red Bank, NJ. What a guy. I remember he just showed up at our door one day after many years. It was so much fun to reminisce. He is in God's hands now. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Richard was my brother in law. He had such a passion for ships and cars! When I was engaged to his sister, Mysia, her boss was selling an old Lincoln Town car that had been sitting idle for many years, but was hesitant to buy it, but he checked out the condition of the car for me and I did go ahead and purchase it. He insisted on doing the routine maintenance for me until we moved away from Jacksonville. But I remember his corny jokes he would always tell people.
