John was the last of my parent's generation. A dear "Mona" as I knew him, since I was a wee child. I always looked forward visting the Robak's-traveling from Maryland with my Mom, before she passed away in 2008, right before Mary. You are now with all of the family. Good Bless you.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Chrobak,
I was very sorry to hear of John's passing. I will remember him sitting on his front porch and always giving me a big wave when I called to him. He and Mary were the neighbors of my childhood. He was a very nice and friendly man.
