Reflections from Antoni’s children. John – Dad, you taught me the value of work and self reliance. Tony – Dad, the knowledge passed along to us gave us the ability to be hard workers and to just do the best we can. Karol – Dad, you may have been short in stature but you had an enormous heart – there is a game of 31 waiting, when I see you again. Wanda – Popsy, you and mom are my heros, overcoming many hardships, always optimistic. Your love, strength and dedication to the family was unshakable. You are and always will be my best friend and a constant inspiration. You are in my heart forever. “Ich Liebe du meine Vater.” As a lasting memorial to our treasured father, we ask you to join us by living your life to the fullest, being kind to each other and making the best of each day.
