Your Dad had the ability to make ordinary day special. I would stop by to say hello and he would be set up for a day of weeding and planting but he had everything set to listen to baseball and have lunch outside. My Mom and Dad always felt better after talking to him. I know that they are sharing joy together joined by your Mom as well. She had the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Pushing you guys in the stroller for a walk was a picture of pure joy.

Dear Pamela, Rich and Sharon:

You had the finest Dad there could ever be. You all know that I am sure. I spent an afternoon with your Dad at Resurrection Cemetery. We looked and my Mom's grave and other family members,as well. We went to your Mom's last and he told me of all the times you came with him when you were small children and you loved the tree there.It was a happy place.
We talked about death, something most people don't. He told me how he hated Doctors and Hospitals. He said, "I just want to get sick one day and then be gone. I wished I would have hugged him the last time I saw him. I just didn't. We talked on the phone and I sent him pictures of the flowers in my garden.
He was my Dad's best friend and his reason for getting up to be able to call him and say" Dzien Dobry Pan" I know little Polish so bear with my mistakes.
He loved you guys so very much. He was the finest man I ever new. God Bless you all. I think of him often and they are always good thoughts. Carol Sroka (Glab)

Dear Sypniewski Family,
Tried to reach your Dad this holiday season and was concerned that his phone was disconnected. Thought maybe he finally moved. So very, very sorry to hear of his passing. We loved him like a family member. He was so wonderful to my parents. Now he is with your Mom. He told me how he often smelled the scent of Ambush when she was near. Linda (Sroka) Adelman
