Barbara StrankCondolences on the sudden loss of your father. He was a former client here at Sentinel Storage and we had some lovely long chats. I used to tease him about how tiny his writing was! May your good memories bring you peace.

Diane SzymanowskiMartha and Patricia: Your Dad was a kind and unassuming man who would do anything for his girls. During his many years of travel, he gathered so many facts and details that he was always eager to share with all of us. Being a non-traveler, I have to admit that, even though I may have been lost during some of these conversations, my interest was always high in listening to his experiences. He has left his mark on his family and friends that we will always cherish and remember forever. Diane Szymanowski

Marlene GhostineTo Steven's family, Our deapest condolences to you and to your loved ones. Steven was bus driver of my daughter at school. Although we only knew him for three months, but we felt how good of a man he was. The kids on the bus liked him a lot, especially my daughter.. they shared some jokes together about my plate number and she was really eager for him to come back from the trip to give him his Christmas gift:(. It was a shock for us when my daughter came running to me with tears in her eyes telling me the news. He use to always wait for us in the morning if we are late for the pick up, opening his eyes waiting to see me from far and recognizing my car.he was so excited to go on the trip telling the kids he will see them in 2 weeks.. He will be missed.i will miss waving Good morning to him at the bus stop, and he always made sure to wave back. Few people in the world whom you don't need to really know them for Long or up close to see that they are kind and good.. May he rest in peace. Praying for him and for you. 🙏😔
