It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of a truly remarkable man, a devoted father, an amazing Dziadzi, and a deeply loved member of his family.

He was a man whose presence could fill a room, whose heart was always open, and whose love for his family knew no bounds. He was the kind of father who could always be counted on—the one who worked hard, protected his family, offered advice, and loved his children with every part of his heart.

He leaves behind his beloved daughters, Rosemary and Nancy, and his daughter-in-law, Traci, who will forever cherish the love, memories, and lessons he gave them.

He was also a proud and loving Dziadzi to his grandchildren, ShaunaRae, Chester IV, Justin, and Calvin, and a very special great-grandfather to Jack. His grandchildren and great-grandson brought a special kind of happiness to his life. He treasured watching them grow, hearing their stories, sharing laughter, and simply being there for the moments that mattered.

There is something incredibly special about the bond between a Dziadzi and his grandchildren. His love, wisdom, stories, and memories will become part of the family legacy that his grandchildren and great-grandson will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Chester, a loss that he carried in his heart. No parent should ever have to say goodbye to a child, and Chester remained a part of him and his story throughout his life. We find comfort knowing that perhaps now, father and son have been reunited once again.

Proud of his Polish heritage and his family roots, he carried with him the values of family, hard work, loyalty, strength, and unconditional love. Family was everything to him. The traditions, gatherings, stories, laughter, and time spent together were among life's greatest treasures.

In recent years, he faced a difficult medical battle. There were days of pain, uncertainty, and challenges that tested his strength. But he continued to fight with courage and determination. Even when things were difficult, his love for his family remained at the center of his heart.

His illness may have been a part of his final chapter, but it does not define his life.

His family does.

The love he gave his daughters.

The memories he made with his grandsons.

The joy he found in his great-grandson Jack.

The love he carried for his son Chester.

The pride he had in his family and his Polish roots.

And the countless lives he touched simply by being himself.

He leaves behind a family with broken hearts, but also with a lifetime of memories that can never be taken away.

Rosemary, Nancy, Traci, ShaunaRae, Chester IV, Justin, Calvin, and little Jack will carry his love with them always. They will remember his voice, his stories, his laughter, his strength, and the countless ways he showed them that family always comes first.

He was more than a father.

More than a Dziadzi.

More than a great-grandfather.

He was the heart of a family.

Though we wish we had more time, we are grateful for every moment we were given. His physical presence may be gone, but the love he gave his family will live on through every generation that follows.

A devoted Dad.

An amazing Dziadzi.

A loving Great-Dziadzi.

A proud Polish family man. A fighter until the end.

And a man who was loved more than words could ever say.

May he rest peacefully, reunited with his beloved son Chester, and may his family find comfort knowing that the love they shared will never die.

Until we meet again, you will forever be loved, remembered, and missed.
