I would like to echo what my older brother said~thank you to everyone for your love and support through this difficult time. My siblings and I are grateful for your prayers, and appreciate knowing how special our dad was to so many.
Our dear parents are together again, resting in eternal peace.
Deepest condolences to the entire Dlugosch family. Another major loss to the old block on the great Eastside. He was always so kind and willing to help mom and I with things. I only learned of his passing today. I’m sure the angels were singing with a very special organist welcoming him through those heavenly gates!
So sorry for your loss. I worked with Rick at Brutger Co. He was smart, funny and a pleasure to work with. He was always very proud of his family.
So sorry for your loss of your dad. He always rode my South East bus route for years when he was working or years later volunteering at St.Bens. Always a pleasure to talk with very proud of his family.
Sending hugs and love. Kathleen
