My thoughts and prayers go out to the Banaszak family. I have known them all my life and no matter how prepared you are, it still hurts deeply to lose a love one.

I wish I was there. I love you all .I love dad I’m going to miss him .he looked so nice in the picture. What I remember most about dad was how he tried to get us kids up to do a polish dance and he would step on our toes. I love and miss everyone.

I am very sorry for the loss in your family. Although I did not know him I have been in this family for a very long time. Pam is my sister and Denice is my sister-in-law. I know most of the family and respect them very much. I know how hard this must be for you, but remember he is with God and will be without pain and he will always be with you in your hearts and your memory.

Our prayers are with all of you. I will really miss your Dad as he was always very very kind to me and Elizabeth. He always wanted to talk about herbs and healthy remedies!! And always asked me "how is that 'lil' girl of yours is doing?" (referring to Elizabeth!) He also liked to tell me about his stay in Durango, Colorado during the war! We loved your Dad as our own. In deepest sympathy. Sandy and Elizabeth Detar

Grandpa, you will be missed by everyone in the family. I'm so fortunate to have been able to see you several times over the past few years. We love you and know you are no longer suffering. You were a tough, intelligent guy. You taught your sons to be hard workers. Love you and will miss you. Carrie Rogers, McKinney Texas

I miss Dad very much, I will not say goodbye because we will see each other again soon in the paradise earth. I will miss his beautiful blue eyes. I will miss the times when we would just drive around doing nothing. I Will miss the phone calls when he would call here checking to see if Mom and everyone else are ok. My vacation to Michigan will never be the same without Dad. I thank my Mom and Dad for having 13 children, I love them all very much!

Dad, As I came across this I noticed there wasn't a condolence from me. It pretty much destroyed me at that time. Sept 15th, 2007. Then my dil to be on Dec 24th Lindsey passed on Dec 11th, 2007, then Mom, not real sure of the date. But I believe all were within 5 months. Yeah, it destroyed me. I lost everything at this time, and will never get them back, not in this lifetime. But thankfully this life is only temporary, and I live to be re-united with everyone I have lost. Dad, the last few years of ur life we got very close. You lived with us, and I was ur caregiver. It took a long time, years to realize you were not in ur bedroom, in ur bed, waiting for me to come check on you in case you needed something. I always worried abt you needing something to eat. At ur celebration of life dinner, I even blurted out, "DOES DAD HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT!?!" That was kinda embarrassing, but everyone understood that it was a habit, and that I took the best care of you that I possibly could. Things in this world have changed so much since you've been gone. I wonder sometimes if the people that are gone would be able to handle life now, but I pretty much know you could. You helped me lots with my severe tbi. I helped you lots with ur stroke. Both are very similar. But ur speech wasn't good and no-one could understand you. But I could, cuz I had been thru it all. you would tell somebody something and they wouldn't/couldn't understand you. You would get upset and say, "Go get Judy." You would repeat what you said, and I repeated what I thot you were saying. Instantly you got that big ole smile and gave me 2 thumbs up. It never failed. :) I sure could use some of ur advice every now and then. You were a very smart man. You could be honory at times, but so can everybody. I remember one of ur favorite sayings was: Bad Associations Spoil Useful Habits and you were so right. I love and miss you so much, till we meet again.

I Love & Miss you Dad and sure could use some of your advice. btw you can rest easier knowing that you were right about whom set ur house on fire and killed those poor babies, her own babies. They didn't belong to her, they belonged to Jehovah. They're back in his care & love. r.i.p.
