I would like to offer my most sincere condolences to the family of Adolph Slovacek in their time of grief.

While I did not know Adolph, I can see that he had a profound impact on his community and our nation. Our nation could not possibly repay its debt for his service in WWII, and our community is a better place because of him. His legacy of service and love continues to be carried out by his family.

May angels lead Adolph into his heavenly home, and may God wrap His comforting arms around his family in their time of need.
