Dear Czanstkowski family,
We are so sorry for the loss of Coach C. He was a great impact in my life growing up. He gave me the attributes that have helped me in life and made me who I am today. I serve this country in the United States Army and I have done so well because of him. He was a great leader and influenced me to be one also. He will be very missed and we are saying prayers for you all. Alecia, Kaitlin, and Ryan. Your father and husband was a great man. I am so thankful I crossed paths with him in my life. He will always be there for you all.

So sorry for your loss Alecia and family. Everyday, I am reminded of how precious life is and Ron vocalized this every time he was in the office. He often showed me pictures of that grandbaby. He would get so tickled to see her do the things our grandbabies do. He interviewed me and helped to bring me on board at the school 16 years ago, then he interviewed me again as he worked for the Transportation Department. We have had some great talks, laughs and wonderful moments. God bless all of you at this time.
