Dear Zelda, Steve, Gary, and Jack:
Don't think of him as gone away
his journey has begun
life holds so many facets-
this earth s only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and he was loved so much.

Dear Korol Family,
It is a great loss of a pioneer in the close out industry. It was an honor to learn at the foot of a real master.

Mr. Korol was a true pioneer in the industry. Always a gentleman. Over the years I have gotten to know his sons. Through our business relationship it has become apparent that Mr Korol was a loving father who has instilled great values in his children.

We have all lost a truly kind and gentle man. Oh how we will miss his sweet smile and devilish glint in his eyes as he dreams of White Castles! How we hope he can have all he wants of those sliders now.
Our prayers are with your family.

Dear Steve and family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Steve, I know it has been many years since we have spoken, but I just wanted to say that It was truly upsetting to me to hear about you dad. You and I were such good friends when we were kids and I can remember your dad very well. He was a very kind man.
You have my deepest sympathy.
