To the family of John Urbanski -
I only found this obituary and have a story to share. In 1993, I received a post card from a John Urbanski asking about contact information for some of his fellow service members. None of them ever lived at my address, so I wrote back to let him know. That was the start of over a decade of correspondence when we talked about our families, vacations, home remodels, and Christmas celebrations. The latter of course always included different ways to cook and serve kielbasa!
I do remember Jack fondly! Your loss is heaven's gain.
With sincere sympathy,
Kim
I miss you already Dad, but I know that you are with the Lord. You were the most unselfish person that I have ever known, and I am so grateful to be called your daughter. You were a loving son, husband, father, Pop-Pop, friend, and neighbor. You took good care of your parents, especially your Father, making him hamburgers after work and taking them over for years.You were a good and faithful parishioner of All Saints, Bridesburg, for years. You fought bravely in WWII, but cooked, cleaned, shopped, and babysat your grandchildren. You knew what was important in life, and couldn't care less about meaningless things.You gave to the poor (I remember you making trips to St. Francis Inn, in Kensington, giving to the poor box, St. Vincents, The Salvation Army, and many other charities), and you gave to your family most of all. I hope that in some small way I made your aging years easier. It was an honor and a privilege to be able to help you and to make some meals for you as you got older. I miss your razor-sharp memory, your stories, your dry sense of humor, that twinkle in your blue eyes, your chuckle and your love.Who will sing "Sto lat" at birthday parties now? Pray for us Daddy to have the strength to walk this Earth without you...I hope that I can make you proud.
Your loving daughter,
Debbie
