What may not be known to everyone, is that Oakland had 4 Silent Heroes who fought on Iwo Jima and returned home.
Tony, to my knowledge, was the last one to leave and go to His Heavenly Home.
There’s Ed, Eugene, Joe and Tony.
May we never forget them!
God Bless and Thank You for keeping me safe.

To Tony's Family and dear friends,
I am truly blessed to have met such a kind and gentle soul. Even though my meeting him has been a brief moment in my lifetime, he will always leave an impeccable lasting impression on my soul. One of the last true spirits of kindness with such a pleasant disposition to have lived and loved in a beautiful life. His smile, happiness, generosity, and demeanor made it pleasant for me to be around him.
And above all else, a Christian man that loved his country and God who served for us and many others. A true patriot!! I am glad I have met him and glad that he brought so much love to those around him. A good man, and a great blessing for all the lives he touched so dearly.
With my warmest condolences,
Lynn Hudzina

… I met Tony for the first time at Warsaw Airport in Poland in summer of the year 2000. He and his daughter Tina replied with enthusiasm to our invitation and their great Poland trip began. We toured so much of Poland in a few days, including a little village Kozice placed somewhere between Warsaw and Lublin [this little place surrounded by scenic woods was established seven hundred years ago!], where Tony’s Dad Pavel was born.
When we were going out of the beautiful cathedral in Gdansk, Tony said to me with tears in his eyes – Zbyszek, my Dad who was born in Poland and lived there until he emigrated to the USA in 1912, did not see as much of his homeland as I was able to see in a week…
Our trip continued in spite of Tina’s broken wrist and touring appetite grew so much that we traveled by car to Rome, stopping in scenic mountainous Slovenia for a night. Arrrivederci Roma! - we had a chance to tour much of the ancient Rome and we set our feet on the famous San Petro square next to the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican watching the Pope John Paul II addressing the crowds at noon.
We returned to Poland having plenty of fun and Tony, in spite of his age, travelled much on foot and talked a lot, every day speaking more Polish. Sometimes he inserted funny, obsolete Polish words he learned from his Dad Pavel.
Five years later Tony visited Poland again with Tina and Joan, participating in our daughter ‘s wedding and touring plenty of places including Tatra mountains with famous mountain town Zakopane and a little masterpiece – wooden Gothic (!) church in Debno, where we slipped into during an ordinary saint mass.
Me and my wife Joanna have been looking many years for having a chance to visit Tony in his house and it finally happened in winter 2011. Tony and Helen celebrated 50 wedding anniversary and we were lucky to tape part in the celebration! This time it was a life trip for me and my wife, we toured six US states including Pennsylvania with Kulpmont and Marion Heights where Tony’s Dad was directed on his emigration from Poland and we visited Pavel’s grave covered then by deep snow.
I will remember Tony as a jovial guy with a friendly smile. When I kept calling him on May 30, his birthday, years after his Poland trips he still remembered many names of places and people.
Tony, rest in peace after such a long and successful life!

Tony,
Thank you for all you’ve done for my family!
Most of all for your support, wisdom and love.
Now, you’ll be with your loved ones, and the friend you said you missed..my dad.
You Lived by the motto, “Love thy Friends, Life’s Too Short & No One Left Behind”.
Rose & I loved you as an Uncle, not just as a K of C Brother or friend.
It was an honor to walk in the Memorial Day Parade, and have you at our wedding.
You’ll always be part of Tony and the Golden Girls Group!
Until we meet again,
Shirley, Joe & Rose Alu

Tony was a special friend who lived his life with grace and dignity. Truly from the greatest generation. He will be forever with us, looking down with a gentle smile and a glimmer in his eye. We are all richer for knowing him.

To the Lechniak Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Tony’s passing. He and I were Knights together and parishioners at OLPH - he was such a great guy and one of my favorite people to talk to. He was always smiling when I saw him and just fun to be around.
