Hello family:

I am typing this for my father, Chester Koszola who is not good with the internet. My father was a Chicago Policeman also and he worked with your husband/father.

My Dad lives on the northwest side and can be reached at 773-625-5199

He is retired now.

Also, my siblings and myself attended St Symphorosa school....our names are maureen, mike, john, and kathleen koszola



My father is sad to hear about your husband and has great memories of him. Please feel free to call my dad anytime.



Sorry for my dad not attending....he just had a triple bypass on his heart.



Take care and God Bless the family
