I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Being the neighbor to my parents (Neal’s) for so many years, I had the enormous pleasure of seeing him often. He always had a kind word, and always made me feel special. Just a few months ago, I had the pleasure of sitting with him at the kitchen table chatting about the good ole days. We had such a nice visit. And our family always appreciated how he helped my parents in the later years by snow blowing and assisting my Mom when my father took a fall. I wonder if he’ll get a home next to them in God’s neighborhood. I hope so. God Bless you and your families and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mary and Tracey,

Sorry to hear about the passsing of your Dad. Your folks and my folks went back to the old neighborhoods and then were reunited at IC. Of course, they had that Marine Corps link. I enjoyed talking to your Dad when I drove thru the alley (special checks) with the squad, when I was assigned to Bay View.

Hope you and your families are coping with the loss.

Many thoughts are running through my mind. Cigar smoke,hanging around the garage, Jim Beam, and of course the dog. I loved his sense of humor. I know his car keys are waiting for him at God's gate. Peace and love to you. Hundto

Mary & Tracey:
Our hearts go out to you and your families for your loss. Your Dad was amazing! We loved him like he was our own. I don't think anyone would forget the trio of Bill Brannon, Blackie Kubacki and Phil Lopata. I'm sure my Dad just wanted a buddy and called on yours to join him. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

Tracy, Dave & Family...

Please accept my "heartfelt" sympathy. All of you are in my thoughts and in my prayers right now.

Tracy... your dad was one of the kindest, most thoughtful (and funniest) people I have truly ever met. He will truly be missed by those of us who were "lucky" enough to "know him."

May God keep you and your family in His loving care.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Never in my lifetime will I ever come across another character like Blackie - he was definitely one in a million. Here was a man who was a great and loving father and an awesome grandfather. He always put his family before himself. He will truly be missed and thought of often for his humor, his unique character and his love of life and family. Our deepest sympathy to you all.
