This is not very easy to do. My mon Leona met Richard a couple of years after my father died. They both loved to go dancing and were very happy together. One condition my mom made to Richard was he had to stop smoking if he wanted to spend time with her. He crushed the pack of cigarettes he had with him and never smoked again. Richard did everything he could to make my mother happy. They traveled the country together for years. They always came back with great stories and fantastic photos of the places they visited. Richard included my sisters and brothers to his family as if we were his own. He shared all of our good times and our losses. He was a fantastic Grandfather to my sons and always had some little toy or gift for the boys whenever we visited him. I don't know if he knew how much he meant to me and I never thought it was work to do things for him. I pray he has peace.

Do you remember the time I convinced you the imaginary Easter bunny was outside? He really wasn't there.
Do you remember when we used to shoot pheasants in the backyard? Or race our cars?
You had some badluck, but you smiled through everything.

Grandpa has lived his life to the fullest and knew it was his time to be with my Grandma Leona. He even mentioned a few weeks ago when I was with him that he would be playing with his trains. I know he is resting peacefully and pain free which is why I am at ease that he is gone because I didn't like seeing him suffer.

My deepest sympathy to Connie, John, Ashley, Jay, Lea, Jack, Luke & Noah for the lost of your dad, grandpa and great grandpa. My sympathy also to Sue on the loss of your dad. Connie is my best friend and I know she loved her dad and has been very worried about him. It is very difficult to lose a father - please know that you are in my prayers and I wish I could be their with you. I pray that your dad rest in peace. May all of you feel God's love during this very difficult time. Give each other lots of hugs, remember the good times. Your dad will always be in your heart.
Love & God's blessings,
Pam

Grandpa you will also be missed by many great grandchildren from the Kapustasnczek side. Ayden knows you as Great Grandpa when I show him pictures of you.

Grandpa you will be truly missed so much by your grandchildren from the Kapustanczek side. When Ryan and I were at your house recently with mom (Kathy Todryk) and our significant others Carmen and Matt, we were looking through old photo albums and saw so many memories especially at your duplex in West Allis. I remember when I was little being in the big conversion van and how you would have me wear a pillow on my head because of how high you bounced in the back. Then I remember staying overnight so many times and everything we would do together with Grandma. Within the last few years you would always bring up things I said or did when I was little and I loved that you remembered so much. I am so glad we had so many good times together and those will always be remembered.
