Tim, Through our many talks I saw the real caring, giving person you are. You tried to make everyone happy and danced with all the ladies. I had the last waltz with you and now you will be dancing with us in spirit. Our dance group will never forget you. I will remember you in my prayers. Shirley {Sis)

Sorry to hear about Timmy. He's still Timmy to me. He could get you so mad and make you laugh at the same time. Every time I watch James Bond with Daniel Craig I always think of Timmy with his beautiful blue eyes. Love you guys.

So sorry to hear about Timmy's passing. Our prayers are with you all. Our family home was next to yours and we did run into him, there, on past visits and he never seemed to change--alway happy go lucky.

Lorraine Leniart Shafer and husband Gerry (Tucson, AZ)

We've known Timmy for a long time, my husband grew up with him. He was in our wedding and was the life of the party. A warm, considerate person who would do anything for you. A shock and he will be missed by many, many people.

Uncle Timmy,
You were the one man that could make me mad as hell, and crack up laughing all in one sentence. I'm so glad that you were a part of my life!! I will miss you!! Always!!
My love to the rest of the family as well.

A very bright light went out with the passing of my dear friend, Tim. Surely the dances will never be the same without you and your smiling face. May God welcome you home and give you his love and peace. RIP.

so sorry for the loss of a great man he will be truly missed

Tim was my cousin. I remember playing with him as a child. He was as carefree then as he was when he became older. I will miss running into when I least expected it. He will be missed by all the people whose lives he touched.

What a wonderful man that always lit up the room and always had a smile on his face. He will truly be missed by so many people. Our sympathy goes out to the family at this very difficult time.

Dear Tim, you were one of a kind person and will be missed sorely by all who really knew you. Love you....

Miss you already..Nothing will be the same..

Tim.... you made all the events fun and kept us all going. No matter what you had us laughing. The dances will not be the same without you. At Christmas time you had us all singing carols. May God take you to a better and safe place. I know that he will take good care of you.


Love to you my friend...will miss you. Joyce Marshall (ledyard Ct)

Tim, you lite up a room when you entered, like this candle does in darkness. We will always remember the laughter you created and your bigger than life spirit. You are sadly missed by those you touched. R.I.P.

Tim, you will be missed at the dances by all the ladies who did not have a person to dance with. You made all those laddies feel like Ginger Rogers.

Darlene and I are sad to know you will not be at the dances anymore.

Joe Richards and Darlene Jones

What can I say, I have known you all my life, every visit home I would go to the shop to see you. You were always so happy and full of life. Going to CT will not be the same without you

My sincere condolences to Timmy's family and loved ones. This man had an unusual kindness about him that was evident in his visits to the sick and the elderly in convalescent homes. He would brighten their lives by bringing his cheerful spirit to them. Thank you old friend...for the laughter and inspiration you brought to this world. You will be missed but not forgotten. Peggy Blake

R.I.P Tim BKA JOHNNY. You will be greatly nissed by many. God received another angel. You will always be remembered as a great man whom had helped many others during their hard times. Our prayers go out to your family and may God give them the satrength they will need. Sandra, Travis and family <3

We will miss you Tim. Thank you for all you did for Sacred
Heart School and the Sisters of Charity.
Sister Cabrini

Many hours were spent by Tim at the convelecent homes brightening up the day for the elderly. A good hearted soul who left a void in the world of giving. He will be missed by many including me. My condolences to his family.

Timmy,
I'll never forget the CA trip of 1969 and your visits to Los Altos Hills, CA to see Betsy, the Kids and Me. I know that times were difficult recently, but all of that is now past; may you Rest In Peace! You are a friend forever, one of a kind!

Too la roo la roo la...Too la roo la ri.

Good bye old friend. You were a one of kind. I knew you for 45 plus years. You lived in one of my late Dads apartment before starting Johnny Kielbasa's Stuff Shop. I can't believe you are gone. The holidays will not be the same. We enjoyed your sense humor and jokes as bad as they may have seem …But that was you ! God Bless my friend and say hi to my Dad

you maybe gone but you will not be forgotten with your jokes and all the dances you went to and many more memories ....R.I.P TIMMY

Dear cousin Timmy, you were always there, with a smile a joke and a little advice. Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear about him passing. I moved onto Hunters and went in there one day to see what all he had. He was very happy, and showed me around the store. I liked going in there, I never knew what I was going to find, and he was always nice to chat with. I'm going to miss seeing your smiling face.....RIP my friend, Pat

" TROUBLE" , you will be missed by so many. I know that you & my gramps ( Ray Boenig) are up in heaven causing heck together as you guys once did. At 1pm today, I am having many of us meet outside your shop to say a prayer for you, so I hope you see how much you were loved. RIP my friend.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the Family and Friends. You made us laugh and you could cut up the dance floor. You will be missed.

Ed & Stefanie-Noriwch

Timmy known as Johnny Kielbasa. I knew Timmy ever since I was was a little kid, for some 30+ years. He would give you the shirt off his back and make you laugh all day long. I was lucky enough to have visited him last summer and I truly considered him as a part of our family. You will be missed by the Wlodkowski's.

Tim........."there we'll never be another you"

..my condolences go out to the Wawrzynowicz family....many happy memories from St. Joseph School ...Norwich....

Phil and Clara we send our condolences With love and prayers Tom & Olive Gionet

Rest in peace Uncle Timmy. I will always remember going to your shop when we were younger and exploring for new little trinkets. Although we hadn't see you much throughout the past few years, Lea and I will always be your little Crystal and Chandelier. I love you Uncle Timmy.

To "Johnny Kielbasa's" Family,

I'm shocked. Tim was the picture of health. If ever there was a person the lived life fully. And what a sense of humor. Great guy. He & Tony, what a pair at polka dances and parties. Taftville won't be the same, as our lives. God bless, brother Polish friend! Thanks for everything and your friendship.

Keep on dancin' Timmy!

Prayers with Tim, and his family.

Rest in peace, my friend. You are truly missed. You and the Wawrzynowicz family are in my thoughts and prayers.

THANK YOU "MR JOHNNY " for being one on the villagers that helped raise me .always watching over the kids and talking to the parents keeping us safe :) YOU WILL BE MISSED. I Pray your next Journey is Beautiful.

Rest In Peace

Sorry to hear of your passing, Timmy. Loved visiting you and your shop, never a dull moment ! You were fun to talk to ,always a lot of laughs ,good advice,and silliness. Really enjoyed talking about everything from antiques to woodstoves.And I certainly did appreciate the times you came out and made purchases when you probably didn't need to. You had a good heart and that's what really matters. Rest in peace, Lucy

I will miss "Johnny's" beautiful, piercing blue eyes the most. I know the whole town will miss his store of "everything" where he was always willing to take care of his customers needs at the expense of his own profit, as well as spend time talking with everyone. One friend he was predeceased by, Thomas K. Armstrong, I'm sure is waiting for him now. Good journey Timmy, no more suffering. Amen.

My Dearest Uncle Timmy, you were such a big part of my life from the time I was born. You helped me in so many ways throughout the years. You will always and forever hold a special place in my heart. I love you and will miss you greatly.
