Mieczyslaw was a faithful parishioner of St. Stanislaus Kostka Roman Catholic Church, in Garfield NJ where he was an usher and sang in the choir. His grandchildren gave him such joy. Mieczyslaw enjoyed working in his garden and sharing the occasional yodel with his family and friends. He will be truly missed but will live on in our hearts and memories.
