I will miss my dad he was an amazing father and papa. I will never forget the day he saved my life the day I was chocking on an ice cube and I am sure everyone else will too because he always told everyone many of times, or that I was so sick and he would walk me around the block to stop me from crying and my mom from going crazy….. I will miss you dad I love you
He was a kind man who gave anything that he could to his family or friends or anyone in need for that matter, he was a hard worker with great morals & values! I’m going to miss his silly sayings the most!!! he always knew how to cheer us up or make us laugh!!! we are missing him so much!! I hope you have peace, and that your spirit is free to soar without any pain!
I’ll always be that little girl on the porch with her blankie, sucking her thumb and waiting for my daddy to come home and hold me and baby me!!! he meant so much to us kids, and grandkids!! I pray he is in a better place, with God and Grandpa, and Great Grandpa ZIELINSKI. My heart hurts right now dad but you will always be in it!!! With all my love and regret, love always! -Your Shei Baby of the North!
Love you Dad!
My Dad was a wonderful man with God in his heart!
Our condolences.
