Dear Mrs. Joan Strzyz, Jim and Jolane,
My deepest sympathy and prayers on the death of Robert. Robert must have have suffered much since God called him for his reward in heaven so soon where he will never feel pain again. I'm sure he would like to take away your pain at this time but he will always intercede for you in heaven.
God give you the peace and strength you need at this time.
My prayers are for you and with you.

Dearest Bernadette and glorious family,

There was no kinder, more generous, and humble person than Bob Strzyz. You (and our family) are so fortunate to have had him as a part of y/our lives. My mother always reflected on his compassion, his soft and gentle ways and was so impressed that everyone around the Strzyz family table - as children- listened and obeyed this gentle, brilliant man as he spoke so softly, (and often with dry humor). We loved him and we love you, and know that our prayers are with all of you.
Dr. Bob - Look down on us and keep an 'eagle' eye on us poor mortals. You are with God, and we need your continuing guidance. Thank you for your exemplary personage and respect to us all.
Love,
Joanne Sliteris (and I believe I can speak for Johnny and Marie and their spouses).

Our deepest condolences to the Strzyz family on the passing of Robert. We were neighbors to the Strzyz family when they resided on Wrightwood Ave in the Belmont/Craigin neigborhood----and went to school with Jim at St Stan's and Weber High School.
