We were blessed to live next door to the Gawlik family for 11 years. They became loving neighbors and dear friends. Stan lived out his strong faith each day and was an important example to us. We cherish our memories of sharing in a prayer group at their home, the impressive back yard garden they cultivated, Stan’s culinary skills, visiting often, and laughing together.
