Mary, as Sheila and I visited with you, your family, and your father's friends at his viewing it very quickly became obvious that he was a wonderful and beloved man. The stories I heard and the pictures I saw made me hope that when my own life is over it will have been as full of love as his. |

To my loving Father...it's 2am and I just finished the beginning of a tribute to your beautiful life. Many "Thanks" to Bruce Baldwin for creating this site for family and friends to visit and share for years to come...for days when we miss you so much we now can quickly see your smile and those of our loved ones...take a walk down memory lane...hand in hand...just as you loved us, just as you taught us. Remember when I finished cutting your hair, you always said to me in Polish... "gin-coo-ya" ... "Thank You" ... I can still hear your voice now..."gin-coo-ya" to you Dad, for being the most wonderful, loving, giving Father that a daughter could ever hope for. Remembering....that's the easy part...being without you will take some time. Love & Miss you, Mary ... goodnight |

Dad...in your memory...Your gentle face and patient smile with sadness we recall. You had a kindly word for each, and passed, beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true. Ah, bitter was the trial to part from one so good as you. You are not forgotten, loved one, nor will you ever be. As long as life and memories last, we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore. As time goes by, we miss you more. Your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can take your vacant place. Love and miss you. |
