Dear loved ones of the Sliwinski family and my dear friend Michael Sliwinksi, you have my sincere sympathy condolences and prayers for the loss of your beloved one John. I had the pleasure of getting to know him well over the years from the first time I met him when he appeared in my court as a litigant in a construction contract dispute. As years went on I got to know him more personally through mutual friends and acquaintances. He was a kind and gentle man who always sought to see the best in others and was always first to offer help to anyone who needed it. I could never repay him for all the meals over the years he bought me when I ran into him in different restaurants and social gatherings. I did my best to help comfort him through the loss of his beloved son in the service of the arm forces of the United States of America. Please take solace in knowing that , John is now in the comfort of our Lords hands at a home most worthy of his life's journey, a life well lived. Rest in peace my good friend and know that you are well remembered.
