John was always a gentleman. I graduated with John in 1968 and even though I saw him maybe once a year after that,the memories were strong. He will be missed by all. I wish I would have been able to go to the funeral but I found out too late. All my prayers are with his Family. John you definetely left a strong Impression on all of Us.

My regards to the entire Neizgoda family.John was a teammate who had a "quiet greatness", no talk, all action.However,his greastest gift,contribution, was that he was a family man who loved and cared for his wife,and children.They are his legacy and his spirit.John's spirit will always be remembered.

Just wanted the family to know, how wonderful John was at CCHS. He was in several of my classes and my American History class with Mr Rozanski was the best. John was forever picked one and he loved it. Also my sister married a football player of that Toledo University team and they do keep in touch with each other. It was from Charlie Burgbacher that I heard about your illness. Peace to the family, and ALWAYS TREASURE THE MEMORIES.

What a journey it has been for you. I am so saddened by your loss. Such a kind and loving man John was. You were the perfect couple with the largest of hearts. God be with you at this hard time, and hope you can all gather strength from Him. Hold on tight to your memories of your wonderful husband. It was an honor to have known him. God bless you and the kids.

I am so saddened that a good life was taken too soon. Some of my best and funniest memories are of Niezy in college. I will remember him as an outstanding athlete and a sensitive and caring man with wonderful sense of humor. It seems like yesterday. My sympathy to John's family and to his closest friends.

My sincerest condolences to the family. I did not personally know John, only through my father who had only wonderful words of praise for him. One of the last projects my father, Ducky Lewis, was working on before he died was a letter to get U.T. to retire John's number (#56). I have never seen my dad so determined and it was at that moment that I knew John was someone special to him.

Dear Carol and all the children,
I want you to know that it has been a great honor to work with John and your family and to know John as a father and a person. He taught me so much about the meaning of family and acceptance and love and laughter. His example of what a father should be will live on forever.
He will be greatly missed. My heart is with you.
Sincerely,

To Carol and the Niezgoda children, I was so sadden to hear about Mr. Niezgoda's passing. It is not often that you meet a couple that is so dedicated to making life better for others. Mr. Niezgoda was a man amongst men; he was a leader on the athletic field, in his community and in his home. He will be greatly missed by the staff in the Placement department at Children Services. I am sure he will soon hear the words "well done my good and faithful servant".

My sincere condolences to the entire Neizgoda family. John was a great teammate and an even greater husband and father. He was truly a unique person that "walked the walk", seeking no recognition for the unselfish manner in which he conducted his life. He will never be forgotten.
