Dear Virgie and all the Witowski Family: I was so sorry to hear of your Husband, Dad, Grandpa and Great-Grandpa's passing from this life on Earth. I remember him being humorous and such a gentleman. Even though it has been many years since I have seen everyone, the warmth and generosity of the Witowski family is still a great memory that I cherish. Lots of laughter and good times, the few that we were all able to share. May your wonderful memories sustain and comfort you in your grief. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dearest Virginia, Tom, Theresa, Trinette, Taryn and families,
I am so sad to hear of Ed's passing. I know you will all miss him so much. A finer man would be hard to find. He loved you all completely, and would do anything for you. He was joyful and funny, and he always laughed at his own jokes, which made me laugh harder. He was a giving, open-hearted, honest, and loyal man and let's not forget, a great polka dancer. The world is a lesser place without him. I feel blessed to have had him in my life. Love, Jacqueline

Uncle Eddie, it still hurts knowing that I will not see you again on earth. Losing you and Uncle Hank in the same year is overwhelming. Every beautiful word that was written about you in this obituary is so true (great job, Witowski family!). Your smiling face and kind words will be missed so much at our gatherings. I talked with you for over an hour at Uncle Hank's wake...I am so very grateful to have spent that time with you! It was our last conversation <3 <3 <3

Uncle Eddie was my boyhood hero. I'll always remember among many others, his navy photo in combat dress, throwing a pitch at my head after I had the audacity to hit one of his fastballs and recommending me for my first ever job at Motorola. We all, nieces and nephews loved him very much.

Ed was the best grandpa a boy could ever have... I love him so much and I can't get him off my mind! I already miss him so much and I cannot wait for the day that I get to see him again in heaven. I love you grandpa. You were the best grandpa I could ever ask for. Love, your youngest grandson, Benjamin Edward Scelfo.

Uncle Eddie was a great man; my Busia's, Marie Niedospial, brother and my Dziadz's, Henry Niedospial, best friend. I know how much he meant to his family especially his children and grandchildren. I am very sorry I will not be able to make it to the services for I am back at school in Arizona. My only comfort at this time is knowing that Uncle Eddie is with his best friend, my dziadz, in heaven watching over us.
