To the Wife and Children, Father and Mother, Brothers and Sister, and loved ones of CDR Ostrowski,
My sincere condolences on your loss. Although I did not know Paul at the Naval Academy, I learned of his death from an alumnus of the Class of '92. I will offer the holy sacrifice of the Mass for his eternal rest. May Our Lord and Our Lady be your consolation in these sad days.
In Christ and Mary,
Fr. Paul Jared McCambridge, F.S.S.P. (USNA '91)

Ostrowski Family,
When hearing of Paul passing away, I was sadden. Paul was a nice man in the community when we were growing up in IL.
There will be a time when he will be resurrected to a new world where there will be peace and no sickness. Psalms 37:9-11
