I will never forget Todd and the Rakowski family for being there in my time of need. My dad passed away very young and Todd would remember, as he visited me with his parents on Brookwood Street. We sat and Chatted and it meant a lot to me and my mom. It's one of those moments as a 15 year old, that is etched in your brain. Thank you and God Bless you all. He was a great man.
I will never forget you and how important our family was to you. Thank you for being such a great grandpa. You are more like a father then a father in-law to me. Every time a watch the movie Christmas Story,I will be thinking about you. I love you and will miss you ❤️
To Todd, the boys & Mrs. Rakowski-
I'm very saddened to hear about the passing of Don ("Mr. Rakowski" to me). He was a great man, and a great mentor. (Not a bad football coach either.) Todd - I'll never forget riding to football practice + games, dressed in our uniforms, in the back of your Dad's pickup. Those were great days! I pray everyone in the family takes solace in the fact that Don touched many, many lives in such a positive way. Hopefully memories of all the happy times will help you get through this grief.
God Bless, and thoughts and prayers to you all-
