Dear Chester and Deb,



I wish to express my sympathy on the passing of your father. We have lost a wonderful family friend.

Dear Chester and Debbie, I just heard about your father's passing and it broke my heart. Your father was a real "gentleman", very caring and loving. Deb, I remember coming over to your house when we were in school together. I will never forget the kindness and comfort your father gave me when my father died. I want to thank all of you for all the support you have given me when I needed it most. Chester, thank you for everything--I know you are as caring as your father was. He will be missed by many--me being one of them. Elizabeth & Bill Stock

Dear Chet,

Sincere condolences to you, your sister and your family. Your father was the quintessential gentleman. He was unfailingly kind, pleasant and ever the professional. Knowing him from your business as well as Kazmierz Wielki, it was such a treat to have a conversation with him.

Yours is a demanding profession. Your dad, as you have continued so well, made arrangements so much easier for families who are often too distracted and disraught to realize what needs to be done.

His passing seems like the end to an era of Port Richmond history to me.

We'll be praying for you and yours.

Sincerely, Char

Chet,



I will miss your dad. I aways enjoyed visiting with him. I remember going over to Jersey on "special trips" with my dad for him. I am sure he and pop are together watching over all of us as they share a drink together. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. God Bless.

To Chester, Debbie and children,

Your Dad was one of the nicest persons on earth! Making my Mom's arrangements were really hard but he made it easier. Your Dad was always happy to see me when I'd say 'hello' and smile.

I still remember going to 'Hi-way Pools' with your Dad driving us, and, watching the funeral home those few times when your family went out. I was always treated very kindly by both your Mom and Dad. I know your family and the 'Wojciechowski's' go back quite a ways, true 'good-friends'.

My Ciocia Anna still recalls days at the Margate house when she and my Dad were young. I may even have

some old photos of those days. I know I can speak for my family in saying 'Our heartfelt condolences are with you, and, you will be in our prayers'. You now have your Dad to truly 'guide you'- He and your Mom are 'Special Angels' now,

enjoying Eternal Happiness and Love as they were very special people here on earth!

God Be with You at this time and

Bless You!

Love,

Barbara
