Pa, I will miss our weekly dinners out with all your jokes. You will be deeply missed. I know you are in a better place.
On May 27th, the call I had dreaded for years came. My Pa, one of the strongest and most loyal people I’ve ever known, is gone.
Pa, you were truly one of a kind. You were resilient, loving, and full of quiet wisdom. I’m so grateful I fulfilled my promise to you and Nanny: To make you both great-grandparents. Watching you hold your great-granddaughter, at 4 days old, with your melting heart and smile is a memory I’ll carry forever.
Thank you for the stories, the hugs (even the ones I charged you for), for the laughs, and most of all, your love. You gave me a childhood full of imagination and a lifelong sense of safety.
Yesterday would have been your 65th wedding anniversary, to which you and Nanny shared a bond that most can only dream of. The way you looked at her, even after all that time, said everything.
Now you’re free. No more pain, no more battles, no more discomfort. Just peace, and I know that’s what you wanted.
Fly high, Pa. You’ll always be in our hearts.
Love you always and forever ❤️
Pa was one of a kind. He loved his family and would do anything for them. You will be deeply missed. Don’t worry about nanny, she will be fine. Love and miss you
Dear Linzi, Jack and Jaina:
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that your family memories will help you get through this difficult time. Know that you are in our thoughts.
Love,
Linda & Wayne Gasiorek
I remember in 2021 when we went to a Panthers game. I don't know who won, because we left early, but to be able to spend some quality time with Pa at the game was something I'll cherish for a long time.

Happier times with the grandchildren.
