Dear Joe and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Dad's passing. May the Lord give you His comfort at this most difficult time and may fond memories give you strength now and forever. Dad was a true gentleman and a respected and loved professional, caring for each and every family he served. I enjoyed his friendship and his willingness to give of his time to benefit funeral service in every possible way. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Sincerely,
Tom Pekras

Eileen and family, so very sorry to hear about your Father. I have great memories of him as a small child, always smiling and such a presence in our neighborhood. You and your family are in our prayers.

Eileen,
Our prayers are with you and family. Although never meeting him, I felt a connection there through the Alzheimer's. Also, hearing one your dad's work stories from the Studs Terkel book "Will the Circle be Unbroken" as narrated by Rick Kogan at the Steppenwolf last April related the selflessness and attention to dignity your father displayed though his life.
Your dad left the world a better place!
