James Kozeluh Obituary

sure miss you

Jim I still can not believe you are gone. I keep thinking you are around the corner. I still see us walking from the Wynn back to Belliago with our stop at Mirage with the super large hot dog last August. miss you

Dad, there is so much I will miss about you. You were always there for us, except for the time you forgot me at the ballpark when I was 7 years old :) I will miss your funny stories, your ability to talk to anyone, and your colorful commentary on life. I'm so glad Olivia got to know you over these past three years. I love you and am so grateful that I had you as a dad.

To the Kozeluh family, my sincere condolences on the loss of your Dad, Husband, Grandfather. May you find peace and comfort as you remember and honor his life and all the special moments you shared together.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

I am very sorry for your loss. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

My condolences to you and your family.

Dad, I'm going to miss you more then I know how to express. I just thank God I got to spend as much time as I did with you these past several years on our DIY projects. You were a great self-appointed supervisor. Until we meet again, I love and miss you!

Dad, I can't believe you are gone. I wake up expecting to talk to you at some point during the day, but then realize I never will. I am absolutely devastated. Our Disney trips will not be the same without you. While you won't be there with us physically, I know that you'll be walking with us around the theme parks. I know I will see you again but until that day, I love you. Please watch over Dylan and me. Oh, and while you are up there...can you pull a few strings to get Dylan on his 8th grade basketball team? We love you!

Our sincerest condolences to the Kozeluh family for your loss. Jim's stories, jokes, kindness, friendship and personality will live on like his spirit. You will never be forgotten and will always be one of the guys! What a guy and what a family man and we admire that so much.

May Jim rest in peace in heaven.

Love,

The Petronella family: Tony, Angelica, Jordan, Thomas and Louis

Words cannot express the deep sorrow the Swionteks are feeling over the passing of Jim. I especially feel this loss as Jim and I had such similar shared experiences over the years. We both worked for the same employer in the same area for over 30 years. We raised our families in the same Orland Park community with our kids attending the same elementary schools and high school. And we both shared that unique experience of coaching our kids when they played baseball in the Orland Youth Association.
And of course we shared in the joy of the birth of our kids and experience of all those special childhood, milestones.
And long before there were families and responsibilities we shared a game of Fast Pitch' at Barton school when I was just a teenager. We only played once and he never gave me a rematch. Winner's option.

Words can't express the sorrow I have for the passing of Uncle Jim! I will forever remember your quick wittedness and ability to tell a story that would have everyone rolling in laughter! Thank you for all the laughs we shared! Gonna miss you a lot!

Dad, you were the best dad a kid could ask for. I'll miss you so much. Carol and AB love you so much too and will miss you greatly. I know you're in Heaven. You always loved us and you always were there for us kids and Mom. Mom loves you very much! I hope to make it to Heaven so I can see you and give you a great big hug and kiss. I love you, Dad.

I remember Jim being "one of the good guys" in High school, the Hubbard class of 67 will hold their glasses high in your memory! till we meet again, go Greyhounds!

Sorry to have lost Jim. As a fellow Greyhound I was looking forward to perhaps seeing him at our upcoming reunion. Sympathys to the family. RIP.

So sorry to hear of a fellow Hubbard graduate's passing. I remember Jim as a very kind man.

Mary Ellen and Family: I am so sorry for your loss. May God keep his loving arms around all of you during this most difficult time. God Bless all of you.

Really going to miss you, Jim. I am heartbroken. Your sense of humor was hilarious. Loved our train/car rides to work many years ago. At my lowest moments, you could always make me laugh. Hold Jackie tight for me until I see you both again.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was an amazing man. I loved listening to his stories and will definitely miss seeing him outside working on the lawn. He always had a smile on his face. Will be thinking about you and keep you all in my prayers...

Dearest Cousin & Friend, May Jim have a special place with Our Lord. Jim always had a terrific sense of humor and was always telling funny jokes. Jim was always helpful to everyone who knew him.

Love Always,

John & Kathy Domanski, and also Anne, Bill, Tim, Nicholas Kennedy, Paul Cozzi.
