We met Hal 12 years ago when we visited his and Kathy's home in Mount Prospect. Our son, Greg (Grzegorz) lived with them in their wonderful house as exchange student for a schoolyear. We found Hal as a bright person with open heart. He was a Greg's "father" then and we were very thankful to him for that.
We all share the pain after the Hal's passing and we pray to our God for his peacuful stay in Heaven.
We also share the pain with Kathy and the whole Family, which we love.
God bless you all

I realized as I drove home from the wake last night that I had not signed the book, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to do so here. Seeing all of you again after so many years brought back a lot of memories of a warm, kind and fun family; and it seems that time hasn't changed that at all. I think your husband and dad would have been proud of all of you last night. And Mrs. P., thanks for prodding me to get up and talk last night - I'm quite glad I did!

I'm sorry I can't be at the funeral today to hear Jan's talk; I'm sure it will be great. I wish you all continued good health and happiness.

Mark & Family, It is with the greatest sympathy that I post this to you in your time of sorrow.

Life is a book in volumes three
The past, the present, and the yet to be. The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight - God keeps the key.

In my prayers,
Shannon
