Mr. Szymanski is a great American.
Without WWII veteran's such as he, our Country, and our Freedom, could not exist.

Mrs. Szymankski, Sue and Walt, Elizabeth and Nathan, Marcia and Herb, Karen and Jim, Cathy and Joe and families,
No words can express the feelings of sympathy that I would like to give to you. Know that Lenny's peaceful death is one of comfort and that the promise of the afterlife is his reward for living. We too will be blessed with that. The separation from here to there is just a matter of time but we will be together again. I pray for your comfort that comes from family and friends at this time of need. May the Peace of our Lord be with you all.
All our love,
Joanne Agel-Schrader and sons, Chad, Adam, Nicholas and Jordan
