This is my Uncle Roman who I never met.....For some reason before I was born there was some kind of a feud between my father and my uncle....I was told that when my grandmother died my Uncle Roman didn't tell my father immediately and this caused my father to forever hold a grudge against him....I don't know anything about his life or what kind of a person he was. It makes me sad to think of him buried here alone with no family...My father William Pelka died several months ago and my wish is that they will meet in heaven and make peace.
Romans parents came from Poland and to the best of my knowledge he and my father were born at home in Greenpoint Brooklyn. I never met my grandparents as they died before I was born. I always wondered about Roman and it makes me sad to think that he may have had a very sad life and spent much of it all alone. I am glad that I found him so that at least I can claim his as my family. R.I.P. Uncle Roman
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.
