Happy Birthday Dad,
The last time I wrote you we were at the very beginning of a bad Virus. Thank God none of our family have been effected. Larry and all his family in Phoenix have taken the experimental injections but my daughter and all her family along with us have not. We are trusting our Lord Jesus to get us through it with the natural immunity our Heavenly Father put into each of our bodies.
Bye for now Dad, all our love. Ray and Kassie

Since my last visit dad, we have added another little one named Holden James Mata. He was born August 24, 2019. Holden became my Daughter Noelle’s first grandchild. This made me a great grandpa and you a great great grandpa.

Today will begin our fourth week of staying inside our home in the Salt Lake City area of Holladay, Utah. Our nation and most of the world have been stricken by a killer Virus that has currently killed almost 100,000 people. Most of the health
professionals believe we are on the downside of this plague. We all hope and pray for an ending of the Coronavirus.
The entire world has slowed to a stop. Only God knows when it will all come to an end.

In two months I will be 81, I’m in perfect health and trust God will give me many, many more years.
It is hard to believe that you have been gone for 44 years. All my love, Ray

Happy Birthday Dad, Since the last time I visited I was able to purchase a Niche Cremation space for mom. I wanted to place the link on your site so we can keep the family memories. On mom's memory site we even have her replaying her Polish Polka Time radio program she did in Tucson, Arizona every Sunday morning for 11 years in the 50's. Here is the link: https://www.memkpr.com/bio/1213
All my love, Ray

Memoirs of my Father

April 6, 2014
My father was the eldest son of Vincent D Zukowski and his wife Janina.  Dad also had two younger brothers, Boleslaw (Bill) and John.  Dad's mom and dad emigrated from Poland as teenagers.

My father was born in 1915 and grew big (6 ft 2 in) and strong.  The Zukowski brothers ruled their Bronx, NY neighborhood.  No one messed with them.

Dad graduated High School and went on to study Drafting.  The early 1930's were not the best of times to find work as a Draftsman or most any job.  Dad was fortunate to find an opening as an apprentice under a journeyman in the steel tool industry at R. Hoe & Company in New York.  His size and strength plus years of training qualified him as a specialist in the tempering and balancing of those giant 6 ft tall circular saw blades.  The cutting blades used by the timber industry to turn trees into usable building boards, beams and planks.

During the second world war 1940 - 1945 my dad was exempt from the military service because of his special skills needed for the war effort at his company. 

By the end of the war my brother Lawrence was born and our family needed a larger home.  We moved in and shared a large house at 1242 Pinshot Place near the Bronx Parkway with my mother's family the Majecki's.  Grandpa and Grandma Majecki had also emigrated from Poland when they were teenagers also.  My mother was their eldest child and she had a brother Edward and sister Blanche.  We all lived in that large 3 story house purchased for $6,000 in 1943 while dad and mom saved for our future home. Click to view house.

Mom's brother and sister were suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis and the dampness of the East coast was adding to their suffering.  Grandma Majecki and Blanche made a train trip way out west to theTucson desert to checkout the climate they heard so much about.

 
After Grandma and Blanche returned, the whole family was excited to move West, except my dad.  He was very concerned about finding a job in Tucson that would equal the income he was making in NY.  My mother, Stella could not imagine ever having her family over 2,300 miles away.   Dad finally gave in after a few weeks with a very unhappy wife and we all starting packing for our long drive west to Arizona in early1948.
