We are so sorry to now have also lost your dad. We knew both your parents from the old neighborhood. Maybe you heard them talk about Lincoln Tap. My husband Steve, also stood up to their wedding.
Again, so sorry for your loss of both mom and dad.

I never had the good fortune to meet Mr Kowalski in person. I only know him through his 3 wonderful children. It's my opinion that one of the most telling measures of a man is reflected in the character of his children. From this measure I know that Mr Kowalski was a great man. Victoria, Wendy and Ed, I'm sorry for your loss. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you.

Wendy, so sorry to hear about your loss. We knew both of your parents, and I grew-up with your dad and mother and also worked with your dad. Many fond memories. Sincerely, Robert & Marvia Wierzba

So sorry to hear of the loss of your Father. You took such good care of him. I know he is in a better place, although I know you will miss him so much. Regrets to you and your family. My thoughts are with you.
Love,
