It has been many years since Midge sang in my choir at Sacred Heart Church, but I remember him and his voice fondly. I'm sure he's singing in the heavenly choir now.

Rest in Peace Uncle Midge. Thank you for being a older and great brother to my grandfather Casimir Ksiazek. I'll never forget you, and it was great seeing you at the Memorial Day Field Day Mass for the past three years when singing with the choir. Also thank you for being a great god father to my mom.
