Dear Laskowski Family,

Please accept my condolences. The earth has lost a good-hearted, fun loving man. In the years working with him in the choir at St. Hedwig life was never dull. I'm sure he'll be entertaining the souls in heaven with his renditions of popular and sacred music.

Casey and Virginia,

When my son of 3 mos expired, you both encouraged me to remember my living children.... you also did not charge me an arm and a leg. For years I have remembered all of what you did for me. My father, Grandmother, and family members were also laid to rest at your Funeral Home. God Bless You and Virginia for all you have done for us! My prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. God Bless You!

Dearest Virginia & Family: It has been such a pleasure to know such a sweet and kind man like Casey,he has been on our LSC for such a long time and he alway brightened up the room when he walked in, we were all so glad he made it to that last meeting in June and the dinner we had at school. In the end he had told me and my husband he loved us and that was so sweet, we all loved him to and he will be deeply missed by each and everyone of us here at John Barry School.

I'll never meet another person like the Colonel. He was my hero, he was a true American. Not many people in the world had a heart like the Colonel. God has a place for him. I'll Personally miss him dearly.
