Daniel Jarzembowski Obituary

My father Danny was a good man, well respected by all,beautiful heart, but one to be messed with. He was a good father,husband and loved his grand children, daddy you will be missed

My dearest Aunt and Cousins,

Uncle Dan was an icon of great stature in our family. We were very blessed to have known him, and you were more blessed to have been his family. John knew him but a short while, but always looked forward to going to see him. We too miss him greatly.



Most lovingly,

Cousin Gina & John

Daddy



My Hero



Giving honor to God for being the head of my life, today I stand before you at peace knowing that my father has gone home to be with the Lord. I can only imagine, those family members who have gone on before him greeting him and telling him welcome home, your pain and suffering are over. Like Paul the apostle, my dad has run the good race.



Over the course of the last week our family has received many well wishes from all sorts of family, friends and acquaintances of my father. Everyone who I spoke with who knew my father, all said the same thing he had a heart of gold and rarely complained and was forever encouraging. Someone even thanked me for lending them my dad, when theirs was absent from the home and how much they appreciated his concern for their well being.



Every girl believes there “Daddy” is a hero;



Let me share with you some sweet memories of my dad; I fondly remember one severe winter, probably 1967, when there was a blizzard, my Dad arrived at school in a large truck and he and his brother Bob came into the school and carried each of the kids and those who lived in our block out of the school through the snow and into the truck. I remember the snow coming up to his hips. Due to the severe storm, most kids on our block did not have milk; my dad went with the same truck to get milk and delivered it to mostly everyone on our block. As a child I used to dread Thanksgiving, because that is when my dad and his father, brother and friends would go hunting, one particular thanksgiving, my dad arrived home and on the top of our family station wagon was “Bambi.” I can remember my dad soothing me telling me not to cry as I stood there in shock. The many family picnics at the Kennel Club. I recall a time when we lived on 21st place and he had a broken arm and when his beloved dog “redhead” was giving birth and having a hard time, my dad struggled to assist my grandfather with his one good arm, until out of shear frustration and fear he would lose the dog, took the power saw and cut his cast off. Every girl is always excited about her first date, well let me tell you how he took the young man to his gun cabinet and told him the names of his rifles, and that if a hair on my head was out of place when I returned he would name a rifle after that young man. Well I did not have many dates after that.



As an adult, I recall that when I found out that I was expecting my daughter, I told him first and the words out of his mouth were I know you will make a fine mother and has always been a pillar of support and love and kept Rebekah stocked with every Barney Video tape every made.



I sweetly recall one weekend we went to my parent’s home on 51st street and I walked in and Rebekah was about 5 and first thing into the house she would go to her poppa doppa. Well this weekend was particularly joyful for her because she learned a new song and was going to sing it to her grandpa. Today as I speak I can clearly recall my dad sitting in his black chair at his desk

Reaching out for Rebekah she gleefully told her grandpa that she wanted to teach him a new song. My dad playfully told Rebekah he knows all the songs and quickly bet her that he knew the song. He told Rebekah to sing a little of the song, cautiously she glanced at my father and back at me and belted out the song “Little Red Caboose.” When Rebekah got to the part of the train chugging down the track, my dad jumped right in and began singing the song with her, totally amazed that he knew the words, they both sang together and ending the song in laughter.

Rebekah asked her grandpa, how he could know that song, because it was new and he told her it wasn’t knew, because he wrote it. My dad has given so many gifts of himself to my daughter, teaching her to blow blueberries is my favorite, that I am eternally grateful for the love and compassion he has given her and the wisdom he has bestowed upon her.



Not to long ago I had to have a procedure at the hospital, my dad was right there without asking at 4:00 a.m. picking me up and staying with me through the entire time. I cherish the private time we spent together the conversation that we shared and the prayers he was saying during my procedure. I cherish every moment of that day. I remember the sadness in his eyes and how frightened he looked when they rolled me into the operation room and tears rolling down his face when I came out and he knew everything was all right. I recall how he stopped at white hen and got out of the van himself to get soup, crackers, and juice for me. I remember how frustrated he was when he couldn’t help me into my home, however I assured him I would be alright, he wouldn’t leave the front of my house until I call him and told him I was in my bed.



Over the course of the last 15 years I have seen my Dad transform back into the man he was when I was a child, I have been fortunate enough to witness that. I have seen him fight and struggle through his numerous surgeries and the loss of his legs and come out victorious and moving better than most people I know, he kept pushing on. I have witnessed and felt the love he had for his children, grandchildren and witnessed him falling in love all over again with my mom.



In closing I want to share with each of you a part of my father, not often did he complain when he was in pain, he took care of his family, and always had the time to listen to a problem and dispense advice, and Dad a majority of the time you were right. Oh and he had a thing for Katherine Zeta. My Dad was a powerful force, yet a gentle giant who loved his garden and took pride in his grass and plants. In preparation of my mother’s homecoming from the nursing home, he planted with the help of my brother Joe, baby evergreen trees around the entire deck of their home as a surprise so that she would always have Christmas trees to decorate. The house was full of dozens of Roses greeting her as she walked in will many balloons telling her how much he missed my mom.



Daddy I want to thank you for your strength, wisdom, and love. I am going to cherish all the good times and put aside any bad times. I am going to cherish all time times I have called you

In addition, each time you cheerfully greeted me as “hey baby.” With a smile in your voice I am going to sorely miss your 1:00 a.m. phone calls with helping you fix your remote control, most of all daddy I am going to miss you.



My dad is my hero. If I can sit on the front porch of heaven and talk to God today I would thank him for you daddy you have been a powerful force in my life, Daddy you have run the race and have fought very hard may you rest in eternal peace. Daddy I love you.

Dad, you ARE my best friend,you were my best man at my wedding reception and the best Father A Son could wish for. You taught me alot, patience, respect and how to fish the right way. You showed your Love for me and expressed it too! You showered Ross with Love and compassion and would always ask whether we talked once a day or three times a day "How's is my little guy". Your little guy and big guy miss you every day that goes by and always will.

LOVE ALWAYS

YOUR SON BUDDY AND BEST FRIEND and your LITTLE GUY.

Daddy,



I love you as big as the sky and as deep as the ocean.

My heart is broken, because you are gone.



The void in all of our lives because of your abscence is unspeakable.



Each time I walk into your house, I expect you to come out of your room with your cheerful face and say hi baby. Each time I bring chauncey he goes looking for you.



I have learned so much from you and have many cherished memories to comfort me, but daddy no matter what anybody says time does not heal it just aches more missing you.



You were pillar of strength for all of us.



You are my hero. All the suffering you went through and complained so little. You always put your family first.



I miss you



forever



your daughter
