Laura & Beth. I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Gelecki family I am so sorry for your loss. John was a kind and decent man. My best memory of his kindness was when I just got out of the hospital and he stopped by and dropped off a bottle of scotch. I still have that bottle today. He will always be remember.
Laura, Bryan, Beth … so very sorry for your loss. John was the best, he will be missed dearly. John, the future will be much more difficult for your family and friends without you. Thanks for the compassionate ear and shoulder. And for always making me smile when I needed it most. I will always miss your friendship. The drive to Blair is much longer without you and your great stories. Thanks for showing us all how to live our best life. I know you are in the midst of an amazing reunion with your parents and other loved ones. Give Gary a hug from me.
John was a great friend and Vincentian.
His served the poor and needy and the Society in our area as Treasurer for many years .
We will miss him.

Dear Laura, Bryan, Beth,
Our deepest sympathies. John will be missed. He was a kind and gentle man. It’s hard to believe he is gone. Bryan, the last time I talked with him he told me how proud he was of you. We will keep you all in our prayers. I am sure that Heaven’s light is a bit brighter since John has joined the angels there. Wishing you the peace of Christ at this difficult time.
As I write this I am in shock. You don’t know me but John was my customer when he worked at Crown Cork. I am from Ohio originally and we have talked sports and family since I retired in 2013. He was so proud of his family and that new grandson. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories help you through this hard time. 🙏🙏🙏
