The Pollard/Waldron families send their sympathies to the Kolovtiz family during this sad time. What a loss to us all. He was a wonderful man, a class act. He always had a kind word for everyone and was so well thought of by all that knew him.

Mr. Kolovitz was one of the nicest men I have ever known and although I have not seen him in years I am saddened by his death. I went to Ascension with Donny. When I was in grade school I would at times run into Mr. Kolovitz at a basketball game or on Oak Park Ave. he always made a point of saying hello and chatting a bit. I'm sure he did not remember my name but knew I went to Ascension with one of his children. He always made everyone, no matter a child or an adult, feel they were an important part of society. He was always the first one to help an older person or bend down to console a crying child. He was one of a kind and although he lived a long life he will be missed. Another good one is gone. May he rest in peace. God Bless all of the Kolovitz Family
God Bless

I am happy to say something about Frank Kolovitz, he was a good man, who always thought of others, and was a one of the most generous man I have ever met. He always had time to help anyone and he did. He was a good husband and a good father. He will be missed by all of us.
