Dear Klimaitis family just heard about your Dad. Haven't seen him in over 50 years but thought of him often. Your Dad and I had some good times in Hickory Hills making wine and beer and talking over the fence. He was a fantastic guy and will be missed. Jack and Judy Marcoline, Minonk Il.

Truly sad to hear. It breaks the heart. His journey is ended. A new beginning awaits. There are no words to heal the pain, but thinking of his laughter and his smile may help. Celebrate a life well lived. Look forward to the time when you can all be reunited. He is preparing the way.
