It’s terrible to hear about your loss and I express my sincere sympathy to you and your family!!
I have known Maciej for more than 30-years - we met in the primary school in Tczew, Poland and were siting in the same bench from the very first day. I will never forget our debates about the “American dream” - which became real for him. Despite being far from each other, we have managed to stay in touch. We met few years back in NY and was glad to see him settled down, met his daughter. Mace was a great person with great heart full of love. I have always admired his positive attitude to life, being easy going and loving to laugh. I have lost the best friend you can dream of. I really regret my kids will not be able to meet you in person - but will make sure they know about our friendship.
Rest in peace Maciej aka as Johnny for his Polish friends
