I was saddened to learn of Mr. Pajonk's passing. I understand he has been ill for quite some time, but it still doesn't make it easier. Hearing of John's death, I reminisced about some of the fun times we shared at your home. John was alway cooking something and I giggle when I remember how he inadvertently left his glass eye on the table (probably for shock value). I will remember him fondly, as well as the rest of your family. You were all an important part of my teenage years and I thoroughly enjoyed our times at St. Michael's roller rink!

My husband, Jim, lost his Dad in January. He was 85! We love him and miss him dearly, but are so grateful for his longevity and the times we shared with him.



Warmest personal regards,



Linda
