May he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the family of Louis Kaczmarczyk. I have known Louie for many years and he was a very good and dear friend. His love of Our Heavenly Mother and the rosary was his fast track to heaven. He is up there now smiling down on all of us, praying for us and waiting for us to join him. Eternal rest grant unto him! "Saint" Louis pray for us!

No greater friend could one have in his or her lifetime. Louis was truly Our Lady's 'Modern Day Apostle'. He touched untold numbers of people during the best and worst of times. He is now in Heaven Adoring the Beatific Vision. His legacy as Our Lady's Custodian and Escort will forever be remembered. Rest in the peace and joy of Our Lord, Louis.

I want to add my condolences to the Kaczmarczyk family. Louis gave my Mom and family such joy in providing us with the beautiful Madonna statue which came in the middle of the night and was a mystery for a long time as to what wonderful person did that. It has been a source of pride for so many years knowing that our Mom was chosen as a recipient. I too was a recipient of love and compassion from the Kaczmarczyk sisters through their lending of prom dresses to me along with fixing my hair, etc. This Catholic family always had such love in their hearts.

Sharon, along with her niece Maria, continues to be a model for our Catholic faith.

Mom was very sick with Spinal Meningitis many many years ago and Louis sent over a statue of Our Lady. I think that was the most excited I had ever seen mom, she was so thrilled. Our deepest condolences to all the family at this time.

I met Louis in high school with Jim Kolar around 1974. Louis invited us to travel with him and Our Ladys statue for two summers throughout the midwest. Two of the best summers of my life. Saint Louis was very inspirational in my life and helped open my mind,heart and soul for Gods grace. He was a turbo jet as to my faith and my devotion to Blessed mother,rosary and scapular.I always knew id have a personal saint in heaven to pray to,and that person now is Louis.God Bless.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Louis. I met him at Hyde Park when my father was a resident there. Even with his health issues, his kindness and faithfulness always shone through. My prayers and condolences are with Sharon and the rest of his family.

Thomas Mullally

Mark Twain in his introduction to the book JOAN OF ARC lists some of the attributes that our family has always seen in Louis. He was truthful and honest when these were fast becoming lost virtues. He was a keeper of promises when the keeping of a promise was expected of few. He gave his mind to great thoughts and great purposes and passed this inclination and drive to his spiritual children. He was modest, fine and delicate when loud and course were becoming widespread. He was full of pity when cruelty was often the rule. He was steadfast when stability was missing. He was a rock of convictions at a time when scoffers were prominent. He was true and maintained his personal dignity unimpaired in an age of fawning and servilities. He was totally unselfish with no vestige of self-seeking in his makeup. Indeed, it is only a few to whom such accolades can be attributed. Louis was a rarity.
