We loved him to bits. He was always there with hugs and jokes. Also with insights when you may have least expected them. A hard worker, a social person who connected with all, a craftsman, an artist and a very loving family member. We will miss him.

I can still hear Andrzej’s voice! Singing „What a Wonderful World „ with a Louis Armstrong flare and asking “ Czy Cycuszki rosną?”
You will be very missed! You were the glue that kept our family circle together! Your humor and laughter lives on in our heart! Your love and dedication to your son Victor was always so incredible!

Our dear friend Andrzej has passed away, it is with great sadness that we received this news. We have known each other for more than 30 years. Andrzej was a man with a huge heart. He was generous, sincere and never tired of helping others. He lived life to the fullest, always with a great sense of humour and very hospitable. He loved dancing and Polish music. He loved his wife Elisabeth and his son Victor and his family. He was very proud of his son Victor's personal and professional achievements. He often spoke of Victor as a loving father.

This is how we will remember our friend. We will miss him very much. May he rest in peace.
