I´m so sorry for your loss to the family junior. I knew your dad first in little league baseball sertoma team, then years later when I got into medicine at st Mary´s hospital. We had many great discussions about medicine and baseball always kept me updated on what junior was doing he was so proud of you. He was a great man and will be missed . I always respected him as a friend and colleague. His passion for sports , medicine, and family always came first. I always enjoyed our passionate conversations on topics. The world has lost a truly wonderful person.

My mother, Janet Gallagher, was an OR tech at St Mary´s hospital for many years. She frequently was the tech for Dr Jabczenski´s surgical cases. He was also the surgeon for many of my family members and my dad would go and sit in his waiting room (without an appointment) and Dr J would work him in. Dad thought he was his own PCP and only trusted him. My family is so very grateful for his kind and exceptional care. My heart is heavy but I know you have wonderful memories that will bring smiles and laughter to all your family. The Gallagher family

Dr. Jabczenski was our family doctor for many years. Surgery was his main calling, he did enjoy family practice. He was very good to our two children and their medical needs. He was a great doctor and friend. The Kallal Family
