May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. We never met Mr. Wojtasinski, but knowing the family that survives is a testament to the character of Mr. Wojtasinski and his great contributions to this country as a soldier and a father.

Henry was a good man. I enjoyed talking with him when I was his neighbor. We talked about our military experiences and he told me stories of how the neighborhood had changed over the years. He was a proud member of America's "Greatest Generation", and a hero in the liberation of Europe on D-Day. I will miss him.

Mr. Wojtasinski,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe fighting the Germans during WW II as a member of the 90th "Tough Ombres" Infantry Division-especially at Normandy. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
