Great guy; always had a positive attitude, sense of humor, warm and friendly, yet very knowledgeable. Missed by all who knew him.
I will truly miss the man. Always giving and caring for everyone. He enjoyed life and I will always remember his laugh and smile.
My deepest condolences.

As I prepare to see you off and you are Knocking on Heaven's Door, I was reminded by something you said as you addressed the mourners at Tim's memorial service in Cheyenne.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in
him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from
the plain.” Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
I remembered that for over 30 years and what gave me comfort then seems so poignant especially now. They also say that the sunflower grows strongest when above the clouds.
I will miss you. Say hello to mom and dad and Timmy and all the Grabowski and Stolowski clan. Make sure that Timmy buys a round and rings the bell to welcome you home. (And apologize to Grandma for pulling the chair out from under her!)
Fair winds and God speed on the Stairway to Heaven.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Jerry's passing, a true Benedictine Man. A classmate, friend, family man, and all-around great guy, Jerry will be missed by all who knew him. Our gang will especially miss the occasional football preseason meals, hanging with him at games, and Jerry's keen insight into all things Benedictine. My deepest condolences to Jerry's family and may Jerry Rest in God's Loving Arms.
Megan, Justin, MaryAnn and Laura,
Words can not express how we feel, what a loss, but heavens gain. His smile, laughter, kind heart, generosity was larger than life itself. As we grieve our parents are celebrating him going home to them. Loved him soooooo.
Jane and Jeff
The greatest gift of your memory and honor to you that I could ever give is to lead be your example and live my life a little more like you each day. The people’s lives you meant so much to, the people you helped and touched their hearts and the selfless acts you performed are the many examples of the person you have always been.
Dad, guide me through the rest of my life to be more like the man I need to be. I will always love you in this life and the next and I will miss you every day until the day we meet again. I hope when that day comes I’ve accomplished everything you wanted for me and our family in your eyes. This is a whole new journey that will be challenging and difficult but with you and your spirit at my side I will get to my destination. Love always and forever your Son Justin
