Kevin and family, I can not find words to sooth your pain or ease your heartache but I can tell you this, that he was a wonderful man who is now walking in heaven with so many others that had been lost over the years. Reunited with loved ones and he is without pain or sickness. Keep all those cherished memories of this sweet man and he will never have really left, he is only a thought away. Prayers of comfort and strength for you all. Love to all, Joe & Brenda Pietrowski
