So sorry to hear about your father (grandfather). I have fond memories of going to your house (when we were younger). Always fun at the Patyk house.

Just wanted you to know that your in my thoughts and prayers.

Ed and Mary Ann, were dear friends of mine when we lived in Sauk Centre in the late 60’s and early 70’s. I admired them greatly. . . They were wonderful people.

To the Family, May each of you find comfort in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34;18) He has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) Take care,

I am going to miss Eddie coming into the legion during the week. I’ll miss his jokes and “I’m polish you know.”

Our prayers are with your family at this time. Thanks for the great times duck hunting. Edward will be missed. God Bless you

May He Rest In Peace

I am very sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
