Owsiany Family,
Sorry to hear about your father's death. You have my sympathy and the comfort of knowing that he lived to a good old age. We all should be so fortunate to live as long as he did.
My favorite memory of Mr.Owsiany is of his canning building and root cellar. It made me wonder what he saw during WWII that he would build something so bomb proof. He was ready for anything with that root cellar.
All My Best and God Bless,
Terri(Weinberg)Coleman
