John S. Bakowski

Rita and family. So very sorry to hear about John´s passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Seeing John´s picture, he looks so much like his Dad.
John´s dad and my dad were brothers. John´s dad was my godfather.
My dad was Joseph Bakowski
I am Joseph´s daughter, Phyllis (Bakowski), Kappert, Schmitt.

Having you as a neighbor for the past 20 years has truly been a Blessing. I would come outside and say hello and you always made time to say hello back. Whether we had a serious conversation or I was teasing you about working in my yard, you always made time to speak. You worked hard everyday to keep your yard and your home one that all residents on Pointview would stop and look. Life is going to be quite sad knowing Tim and I won't see you outside reading the paper or taking care of the family. I'm glad your in Heaven with God. You are surely going to be missed.

My Kas Buddy!
Who knew when we met on the
USS Kaskaskia we would remain
friends over 50-years, but here we
are, there are no Good Byes for us
where ever you are You will always
be in my heart..Though our hearts are heavy
the Angels rejoice as they welcome
you home...
For Rita-Family:
No words can describe how sorry I am
for your loss, John was a special man
and has given you all memories of a
life time filled with Joy-Happiness
and Laughter, Cherish those Memories..
We love you...
Sail on Sailor-You will be missed...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. I am so sorry for your loss. I can remember being a little girl listening to my mom read Rita´s letters. John was such a special good man. He will be missed. Rita and John had such a special love that you only find once in your lifetime. One day you will be reunited with your true love. My heart breaks for Rita and your family. You are in our prayers.
