I knew Mr. Kuzminski as Leah´s father. The love and devotion they shared was obvious to anyone who saw them together. He was always kind, considerate, and genuinely interested in the well-being of everyone he encountered. I am truly grateful to have known him for so many years. He was a wonderful example and will be sorely missed. We will be praying for comfort for the family in this time of tremendous loss.

Lovingly,
The Rawlinson Family
