To the Tracz Family,

Please accept our condolences on the death of your father, Matt. He was always a smiling face around 84th and Pulaski. When he worked for us, as a Real Estate Agent, he always talked of his children with such pride. We are sorry we could not be at the wake, but he will be in our prayers.
