Condolences for the family of “Richard Kankiewicz”
The Kankiewicz household was always a fun and loving place for me growing up because of Richard and Roberta. And when I moved to PA, they offered a comforting place to stop when visiting back home. He was a loving and charismatic man and I will miss him. RIP, sweet man.
Sarah, your dad lived a blessed life. I know his death came somewhat unexpectedly, but you were so good to him, loving him, making sure he had what he wanted and needed. You can lay your head down at night and know he wanted for nothing. I know you and A. J. will miss him dearly but you have so many happy memories to comfort you through your grieving. Prayers coming your way.
Sarah I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I was honored to meet him two years ago at your home. He was so kind and thoughtful to help design a logo for our nonprofit. A talented and visionary man who loved his family greatly. Let me know if you need anything.
