Grandpa Kubisiak was one of the greatest men I have ever known. He and Grandma taught us so much... Love all, from the depths of your heart, offer service to others, practice what you preach, and sit up straight. Loved them dearly, they left the best impression on the person I have become today. Thank you Grandpa. I loved delivering "meals on wheels" with you, helping with the firewood, the garden, and walks up at the land. I know you are with us always, shining from above.
