Mr. Hosek, You were one of my favorites. It's been over 50 years that I have known my dear friend Bernadette and every time I would see you, you would still remember all of our names (and nicknames), always with the great jokes. You will be missed for sure. Rest in peace.

My dear Godmother Jane, and all of my cousins my heart is breaking for you. Sending you prayers of comfort and strength for the coming days. Uncle Ben will be missed by many but now he is sharing all of his crazy jokes with everyone that went before him in heaven, as they were there to greet him at the pearly gates!
