We're very sorry to hear of Mr. Lachowski's passing. I met his daughter, Veronica, through my association with Hanover Humane. Hanover Humane was able to help the Lachowskis rehome their dog when Mr. Lachowski found that he was ill. (The dog, now called "Molly" is still doing well.) We're saddened by Mr. Lachowski's passing and send our condolences to his family.

"Joe and I were fraternity brothers and good friends back in the early 70's, He was such a good, honest man and was highly respected by everyone. I know his family will miss him greatly. I'll never forget his wonderful laugh and sense of humor."
