Sorry to here of the passing of Mr. Kolinski. I was a childhood friend of Walter III in the Brighton Park neighborhood and remember many conversations with Mr. Kolinski and his family when they moved into the area. I remember him as a very hard working man who loved his family and would do anything to please them. RIP Mr. Kolinski. Prayers to the family, friends and others who knew him.
