He had been an active member of the Polish American Club and was their principal cook for any special occasion, especially their Mothers' Day banquets. He was an avid poker player, beat everyone in pinochle and did enjoy a good horse race! To know him was to love him, whether it be family or friend. His door was always open to anyone for a cup of coffee and a meal.
His life was complete with his wife, Stella and three children; Edward, Paul and Linda.
