Janet and Family. I loved Swanny as if he was a member of my own family. He was an incredible man, and he will be very much missed by all of us. He was always a blast to be around, and I'll never forget him! One thing is for certain...he and Tom are having one heck of a reunion!

God Bless you and your family you will always be in my prayers, and if there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to let me know.

Many years ago I lived in the apartment above Swanny's mom. She was an exceptional woman who raised exceptional children. While I did loose touch with her after moving, I still hold the fondest memories of her spirit and will always remember the high regard in which Swanny held for his family. I wish to extend my sincerest condolences. Take comfort in knowing that he is back in his mother's loving arms.

Swanny was a very good friend to my father, Jerry Joswiak. I'll never forget when my dad had surgery in Rochester, Swanny was there with my family, with his cribbage board in hand, waiting for my dad to wake up. To the Swanson family, you have my deepest sympathy.
