The Boss

Fr. Szymanski was my first "boss".  As a young teen, he taught me the proper way to fold a business letter for mailing, answer the phone and door with professionalism, and of course make his coffee just the way he liked it.  Milk & sugar first, then pour in the coffee.  Always firm and business-like, but also infinitely kind to me and my family, I was blessed to grow up in the parish where he was pastor.  Many years after we moved away, he was kind enough to agree to say a special Mass for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary.  It was such a joy for us to spend that time with him once again.  May the angels lead him to Paradise, and may his soul rest in the Peace of Christ.  Amen.
