I couldn’t have asked for a better father-in-law than Gene Paryzek. His kind and generous heart was irreproachable but I have to say his humor was contagious and the whole family delighted in egging him on. Gene’s memory was amazing to me which lent to some great story telling of his childhood and his service in the Air Force during the Korean War.
His devotion to his family and friends is well known. The love for his children and his grandchildren was always there for everyone to see. As recently as a year and a half ago, Gene and I were having a conversation which led to his comment of that he was the lucky one to have Emy by his side. No truer statement has been spoken, that is for certain. Their 65 years together is quite the testament of love and devotion.
Thank you Gene for the memories you have left with all who knew and loved you. You were a gift to this earth and I know I speak for many that we were the “lucky ones” to have known and loved you.
