Dear laurie, Anthony, Sarah, Molly, and Hope, you have my deepest sympathies! I had the good fortune of camping with Jimmy for 20 years and his lovely family. Hundred's of stories, thousands of laughs, a couple beers in between! Jimmy and I were kismet, we always enjoyed each others company. And of the hundred's of conversations, the one subject Jimmy loved the best, was his family! Laurie he adored you and the kid's and was so proud of all of you. He will be surely missed, never forgotten. He will be your protector in heaven as he was on this earth, that I'm sure of. I know it's so hard right now but he is looking down smiling from heaven and is in God;s hands. God Bless you all, from all the Baffoe's. Joe

Our hearts are heavy from the sadness of losing such a beautiful person. We are so glad we had the pleasure of visiting Jimmy, Laurie, Joey, Auntie Kay, and the rest of their wonderful family while in Chicago in 2011. We shared an evening of food, laughter and a trip down memory lane enjoying stories of childhood days gone by. Jimmy will be sorely missed but will remain in our hearts and forever. God bless...

Love always,
Dave and Barb Bednarczyk

Laurie and family,

My prayers for you. God has such a beautiful soul in his arms now, as he was here on earth. The Glowacki family was one to aspire to. The memories all of you hold are forever, and you had many as a loving, beautiful family. We are, and will, alway be here.
