My deepest condolences for your loss. I will always remember your Dad as a part of growing up in the neighborhood. I fondly remember the times he gave us rides home in grade school and counseling merit badges when we were in scouting. Blessings, best wishes, and my prayers will be with you and yours always.

Dear Mirus Family,
I'm sorry to hear about his passing. I have known Joe for many years and will remember him for many more. Joe and I use to work security together in Rosemont. He was a great partner, a great friend and mentor for my police career. God Bless my little Polish Friend. I'll miss you.
