Growing up Konie was like a dad to me. I can remember every birthday and Christmas gift he ever gave me but it was that one Barbie that was so special to me. He was so good to my mom and I never asking for anything in return he did it out of the goodness of his heart. I loved Konie and was always happy when Pauline would come and tell me Konie said hi or checked up on me. Pauline thank you for making Konie so happy, you are what gave him his smile.

Konie was one of the nicest, sweetest and most gentlemanly man I have had the pleasure of knowing. We worked together at Rheem for many years and when he retired he was really missed but I know he enjoyed retirement and being able to enjoy his family more.

Pauline you were Konie's sunshine and made him extremely happy and I know you will miss him very much. He lived a long happy life for many years and I give you so much credit for his long life. I am extremely saddened that he is gone.

He was a well loved gentleman and will be missed by many.
