On A Sad Note

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the Passing of Jim Polensky on Febr 12 . Jim was alwaysth

in the July 4 parade in Homer Glen, he came out to many of our retirement home visits and was at almostth

every Sunday Cruise nights at the “Big R” with Tinkie his Basset Hound. He bought his dream car a 1972Corvette about 1 year ago and didn’t get much time to enjoy it. Jim was an all around Great Guy and he will bemissed. Rest in Peace Jim!
