Prayers for the Studinski family, may Ralph rest in peace

Uncle Ralph taught me to play the concertina when I was a young boy. He used to cut my hair when our family visited. He taught me what was possible when he was remodeling their house on Briggs Street. He taught me a lot about cars. When my first car was making a funny noise, I would stop by Northern Auto. Uncle Ralph would hand me a part and tell me to look for it and change it out (and he was right!). Our kids knew when we were getting car parts from Uncle Ralph that he would give them some candy. But most of all, I will miss the old time stories. He knew so much family history.
Larry, Karen, Debbie, and Janet -- I am sorry for your loss. Your mother and father are together again in heaven.

John and Laurie Studinski
