Mr. Kulesza was a true gentleman who cherished his family and the simple things in life. He enjoyed tending to his yard, traveling, helping his neighbors, and occasionally fishing.

He was a man who would do for others before himself... the saying "He would give the shirt off his back for another", truly fit Norbert. Norbert was the beloved husband of the late Julia Kulesza, and the dear father of Lucille (Robert) Duyck, and Norbert Jr. (Marsha) Kulesza. He is also the loving grandfather of Richard (Maureen) Pruss, Kimberly (Linus) Isabell, Lori (Gilbert) Holbrook, Mark (Carmen) Kulesza, Amy Kulesza, and Great-grandfather of Grant Holbrook, Alexandra Isabell, and Norbert Kulesza.
