Hi All
Mr and Mrs Piasecki were neighbors and friends. They gave me my first cubs baseball cap (1966?).
Always coaching and helping all of us at St. Cornelius. You are already missed.
Approximately 10 years ago I was attending a family graduation party in Niles and found out they're new neighbors were the Piasecki's. I was invited in and it was nice reminiscing.
Our condolences to the Piasecki family.
Frank Zofinski and Family.

Andy, we were sorry to learn of the passing of your Dad. It goes without saying that he was a great guy who was always quick to say hello and was truly interested in catching up on things whenever we were together. It's really sad to lose yet another outstanding member of Rich's generation. Please take care and know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Mike & Colleen Mroz

Lorraine & Family,
Our heart aches with the passing of Pike.
A good friend always there when needed.
Enjoyed the WHSAA lunches with him
and exchanged memories. He was very proud of his Polish heritage .
May his soul rest peacefully in the gracious hands of Jesus.
You are in our prayers at this sad time in your lives.
God Bless you.

So sorry to hear of Pikes's ( know by so many) passing. He was a very kind person, and always there to pitch in no matter what the project was involving kids.. .
So many fond memories of working with him and Lorraine at St Cornelius, and all the basketball and football games at Weber.
Our friendship goes back years, and it it appears our children and grandkids will be there to carry on.
Rest In Peace Pike..

My deepest condolences to Lorraine and Family. Rich is truly a legend at St. Cornelius. He provided an opportunity for many St. Cornelius students to play the game of basketball at a school with no gym. He will be greatly missed.
