    Our deepest sympathy to all the family of Chet Kozlowsli. He raised a close knit family who did a lot of things together. Our fondest memories of Chet and his boys and girls are coming to our store with the tractor and trailer full of lawn chairs and spirits. He would be proud of his kids who took care of him till his dying day.

  2. We’ve all lost a good friend. My sympathies to the Koslowski Family, may his memories and stories last forever.

    Chet worked with my father at the Schreur Chevrolet Dealership in Gaylord during the 1950’s and early 1960’s. Our families were very close and the older children referred to my parents as aunt and uncle. Chet was also my sponsor for Confirmation when I was in the eight grade. Chet cut much of the lumber I used to remodel and expand my home on Rancher Lake. My sister Barbara had taken communion to Chet often during his illness. I myself have anointed him with the anointing of the sick during this time. My family has many fond memories of Chet and Betty and all their Children. We will miss his presence among us and will keep his family in our prayers during these difficult days ahead.

  4. Ben and family.
    My most sincere condolences for your loss. May your fond memories of your father sustain you in eternity.

    Andy and Carrie Kovolski

  5. Ben, So sorry to see that your dad passed. He was a hard working man, and helped us at the funeral home on MANY occasions, just as you have. We appreciate your dedication to the funeral service industry.
