I will never forget Gramps. I grew up with Ricky and Jamie. Theresa and Rick watched us a lot in the summers and for my brother and I acted as a second family. I considered Theresa a second mother to me and often times was tougher on me than my own! I miss them dearly.

Some of my fondest memories were walking over to Gramps for a game of cards or putt putt into a metal can on the back sun porch. I can still remember the smell of his house. He was always sharing  war stories and often when we won cards he would give us silver dollars that I still have. We thought it was the coolest thing in the world! He was a selfless man and loved his family so much. He will be missed by many. I am so sorry for your loss and wish I could be there to honor him but I will be there in spirit. My condolences to all of his family and friends. Rest easy gramps, thank you for all of the memories <3 Love you Kolodziej Family
