Piotrus will stay in our hearts forever as a great husband to Iwonka, an exemplary father to Julie and Chris, and one of our best friends. We will always remember his jovial smile and unique sense of humor. Among many things, we have always admired his joie de vivre. Rest in Peace. You will be missed by many.....

Dear Peter, a wonderful man who entertained us through many family dinners and Christmases with the wonderful hospitality of himself and his wife Yvona. Over the years I came to understand his story, aligned with the tragic stories of many Polish people who were similarly affected by World War Two. I will light candles for Piotr, for the journey of his soul. I will remember him and repeat his name.
