Flo, Peter, Paul, Tricia, and Pam, and Families,
Your care and love for Dad, (Stas) goes so very deep and very strong. My sympathy and thoughts are with you. You have set a very fine example of love and committment in family. Dad is now at peace. May the memories we have keep us close in heart . I have so many memories with Stas and the family as a little girl. Stas, I know you are a Sox fan, but now you can get together with Len (Dad) and remind him that we need him to pull some strings for the Cubs. Whatever happens, you will remain in our hearts. May God Bless the family.

Dear Aunt Flo, Pete, Paul, Trish, and Pam,

Just a few thoughts about my Uncle Stash. A wise man once said, "A true leader leads by example". As far back as I can remember on our visits to see you guys, Uncle Stash was always there to crack a joke, call me by my wrong name... on purpose of course, and give me advice... "Steve, stay away from that Chinatown"! Till this day I'm not quite sure why he told me that, but I've never been there. But more importantly Uncle Stash always provided for his family. He worked ungodly hours but never complained. Just by watching him I got a lesson in Love and Dedication. Through example, he taught me how a man, a father, and a husband should take care of his family. See Aunt Flo, you didn't think I was paying attention to that stuff but I was.
Uncle Stash was a good man... a very good man and we will all miss him. Even though he would always call me Jerry or Donnie! Rest in Peace Unc and say Hi to Busia for me.

Steve and Loretta

Dear Uncle Stanley,

I will always remember your smiling face , kindness and positive attitude about anything I talked to you about, when I was just a goofy little kid. I'm sure your family really appreciated what a gentle and loving person you were. I know you're a White Sox fan but when you see my Dad in heaven please help him get the Cubs to be Champs. We will miss you.

Love ya,
Kenny
