So many great grade school memories of Mr. Kowalaki. He was my 7th grade teacher and neighbor to my Grandma. I will always remember Tubby the inflatable globe in his classroom and all the funny moments as he taught us! May he rest in peace and I’m sure the garden in heaven is just as beautiful as his backyard was! Sending my love and prayers to his family and loved ones for peace and comfort during this sad time.
Joe was one of the nicest men that I met while I was Associate Pastor and Pastor at Hamtramck’s “Cathedral” of St. Florian. He always had a smile on his face and kind words upon his lips. His house was the best looking house on the block with flowers of every kind that enhanced his house. Jos, was a kind, loving man and one who loved his Polish heritage. May he rest in the Peace of Christ as he joins is parents and his many friends who went before him especially those friends of his who were a part of his St. Florian Family.
