They were married at St. Gabriel Parish and began their life together, raising their beloved son and daughter in a home filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished traditions.

He was funny, outgoing, and full of life, finding joy in simple pleasures such as fishing, dancing with his beloved wife, and celebrating his heritage at Polish festivals.
