GREGORY BARANOWSKI Memoriam

(1952--2009) Greg "the Hammer" Baranowski passed away one year ago today. Little did we know that God would call your name. In life, we loved you dearly, as demonstrated by your wife of 25 years, Lorrie. In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone - for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories. Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. We miss you. Love, Mom & Dad, Sis Liz, Bro Tom, Loving Wife Lorrie and Tina, and the Gang at U.P.S.

Every leaf that falls from the tree of life reminds me winter approaches. Until spring, old friend.

The Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, I pray He smiles on you for the joy you brought into others'lives.You are missed and loved.

Hey Clown. It's your brother Tom. It's hard to believe it's been a year since God called you home. The memories I have of you are endless. You playing cards, refusing to give up the remote (while changing the channel every 2 seconds) definately come to mind. You taught me how to play wargames, chess and lots of other things. Even though you needed to be prodded sometimes you were always there for us. I wouldn't trade you for anyone. Thank you for being my brother. I only wish it could have been longer. I love you.

Greg,
Till the day I die and meet you in the next life, you shall be my compass. I will never forget the night I was lost in a blinding snow storm, one phone call to you and hearing your voice directing me home took away all my fears and got me home safely. I carry a compass on my dashboard and it's round shape reminds me of your head. I always rub it and say thank you Greg!!!

Greg,
It's your high school friend Louis. It's been 41yrs since we last saw each other in Nurnberg. I was looking through the yearbook and saw the Wrestling Team and Football Team pictures. Man if we didn't look good! Although we won't see each other again in this life, you'll be waiting for us in the next. We'll talk about old times my friend! I remain your friend and classmate-
