Though our grieving process continues, we draw comfort in knowing that you will no longer suffer and are in much better place.
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel.
It was a privilege to have him in my life for over forty years. He was not only brother in law to me but also brother I never had.
I will miss him so very much.
You were the first to show me how to rod fish; I never enjoyed it but I experienced it becouse of you! I will never forget all the fantastic camping trips under the tents with fireplaces you organized. You made it so easy to understand the nithttime sky full of stars - absolutely wounderful experience. I remember the wonderful stories you would telling me and my sister about secluded island not found yet by humans and undisovered civilization ... - what a fatastic way to stimulate young minds!

Ty pokazałes mi pierwszy jak wędkowaċ; nigdy tego nie lubłam, ale mialam okację to przeżyċ.
Ty byÅ‚eÅ› specjalistÄ... od organizowania wspanialych wyjazdów na pikniki pod namioty z ciepÅ‚ymi ogniskami. Ty sprawiÅ‚eÅ›, ze niebo z gwiadami bylo dla mnie absolutnie wspaniaÅ‚ym zjawiskiem.
Pamiętam te cudowne historie, które opowiadałeś mnie i mojej siostrze o oddalonych wyspach nieodnalezionych jeszcze przez ludzi o nieodkrytych cywilizacjach...- co za wspaniala droga do wzbogacenia młodego umysłu!
Ty pokazałeś mnie jak jezdziċ na łyżwach i jak pływaċ w kajaku i jak sie obchodziċ ze skaleczeniami-och! ...Ty byłeś zawsze tym STARSZYM BRATEM!!!
TÄ™skniÄ™ za TobÄ... bardzo - w moim sercu bedzie zawsze specjalne miejsce tylko dla Ciebie.
Kocham CiÄ™ bardzo bracie.

My dear, dear uncle. You were one of the funniest people that I ever had the opportunity to know. You enjoyed the simple things and had a heart of gold. Your love of the outdoors and animals was so much of a testament to the kind and gentle person that you were. Your kindness will never be forgotten. You are loved, you are missed.
