Catherine and family, So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. I remember having him in high school and still use the skills that he taught me! May the happy memories give you strength at this time and always. God Bless, Melanie
To the Marsh family, I’m very sorry to hear about your loss. Mr. Marsh was an extremely nice man whom I enjoyed being around. I’ll miss him.
Dear Marsh Family: On behalf of all of the children of the late Stanley & Mary Jane Tuchalski, we extend our most heartfelt prayers and deep sympathy on the loss of David. As I type this I recall being in his typing class at Weir High, all my siblings were trained by him as well. He was a gentleman who enjoyed a good conversation and was genuinely interested in all persons whom he encountered. I am certain that he is now resting in the Peace of Christ! Sincerley, Stan Tuchalski

My heart goes out to the members of David’s family. I never got to know him, but I have a picture of him that always makes me smile when I look at it. It was taken at Grandma Suzanna Kokochak’s birthday party. He is lying on a chaise lounge sound asleep while his children are playing around him. While you mourn his loss, I pray that you can be comforted by thoughts of when he made you smile. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
Catherine and family: So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I can remember when your family moved next door to my family in Mrs. Connor’s house. May Our Lord keep you all close to His Heart during this sad time. Penny (Setlak) Dotson
