A Man For All Seasons...

Last night Joe Gondek passed away.  I am so saddened by his death that I find it truly difficult to explain.  Anyone who knew Joe knew a person who made the best of every situation he was ever in.  I always considered him the ultimate “man’s man.”  Joe was the owner of Confectionately Yours in Franklin Park and was married to Mary for more years than I can count.  He leaves behind 5 wonderful children and 3 grandchildren.  He was my friend and I will miss him.  If I had a chance to say good-bye to Joe, I would have just thanked him for his friendship.  It was an honor to have him as my friend. Rest in peace…
