Aunt Vilma, Mike and Joey:
My deepest sympathy to you all during this difficult time.
I know you are all surrounded by family and loved ones to provide support.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers daily.
I have fond memories of us all growing up and spending time together as cousins. It seemed we were either as the Sebastian’s or the Filipiak’s for those great summer weekends or the major holidays.
There is a saying that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Well all you have to do is look at Mike and Joey to see what a great father and role model Uncle Stan was. Each of us as young boys were raised to be respectful, strong and kind. These are all traits Stanley exhibited and engrained into each of us. I am so fortunate and grateful to have had Stanley as an uncle and as one of my role models. As boys we could not have grown up with better fathers or uncles who groomed us into the men we are today.
God bless each of you.
Paul
