Dear Mary, Debbie, Chris and Joy-
What a very special family you have. All of you always spoke of your dad with love and a smile. I remember him from the C & M athletic events! May your treasured memories bring you comfort now and in the future. May he rest in peace, Amen.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Dearest Joy & Tkacik Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father, husband, and grandfather. There is a lot of love in your family; that was evident on a couple of trips to your house for summer picnics in the early 1990's. It was really clear that your dad adored and doted on each one of his children, and especially his wife. That love will keep you going in the weeks and months ahead...when you reach for the phone to call him, or turn around to say something to him, and realize he's not there. But cherished memories of him are still around you, along with your loving family.

We all have such wonderful memories of Pa (Paul - haha, remember Chrissy?!) and of all of you! I am so very sorry for your loss -- what a dear, sweet, gentle man with a wonderful smile and great laugh! I'm sure all of the neighborhood kids and adults as well will always remember his kindness and awesome personality, and we are all the better for having known "Pa!" May He rest in peace and smile down upon us!

Well John it is time to say goodbye but you will never be forgotten. Your now in heaven with your family and neighbors that have gone before you, they waited patiently until our Lord said It's Time then they opened the gates to welcome you in. We are proud to have known you and thank you for your friendship. I never look at a garden without thinking of you and am comforted as I hope your family will be with the knowledge that you will forever walk in his garden.

What a wonderful, kind and gentleman you were; I'll never forget you pulling Hillary around the back yard in the sled. That was alot of snow you were trudging through. I miss seeing you in the backyard and I will forever miss our chats over the fence.

We Love You John,
The Rafferty''s,
Vivian, Timmy, Catie, Bill, Hashbrown, and Dardo
