We would like to offer our sincere condolences for the passing of our Grandpa and Great Grandpa Jim. Our deepest sympathy and unwavering support go out to the family. We wish you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this difficult time. Although we can not be there in person, we are sending healing prayers and comforting hugs your way.
We still have the wonderful rocking horse to remember him by, which he made by hand with such skill and craftmanship. Such a thoughtful and enduring gift he provided.
Love,
Ivan III (TRES), Judy, Yasmeen and Kyra
Helen and family.
You have my deepest sympathy , love and prayers at this difficult time. I’ll miss talking with him and
Loved when he visited, even though he said his sauce would “blow mine out of the water”. (He then gave me his recipe)!!!!!
RIP Jim…..you were loved.
My husband Dan Fary is a cousin on the Marshall (Marszalek) side of the Kolacki family, and we took great pleasure in communicating about the family with Janet. You have a very special family, and we are sorry for your loss.
