                        HONORING GERALD GAJEWSKI

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. THADDEUS G. McCOTTER

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. McCOTTER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor and mourn the 
extraordinary life of Gerald Gajewski upon his passing at the age of 
68.
  Born on October 12, 1941, Gerry Gajewski dedicated his life to 
serving his community and his country. After honorably serving his 
country as a member of the United States Air Force, Gerry came home to 
serve Redford Township as Recreation Commissioner and Township Trustee. 
He also was an active member of the Redford Township Rotary Club, 
serving as president five times.
  Regrettably, on April 8, 2010, Gerry Gajewski passed from this 
earthly world to his eternal reward. He is survived by his beloved 
wife, Gloria and his son, Jeffrey. A devoted brother to sisters Gloria 
Jean and Christina, Gerry leaves a legacy of 17 nieces and nephews. A 
courageous and honorable man, Gerry will be sorely missed.
  Madam Speaker, Gerald Gajewski is remembered as a compassionate 
father, a dedicated husband, a leader, a soldier and a friend. Gerry 
was a man who deeply treasured his family, friends, community and his 
country. Today, as we bid Gerry farewell, I ask my colleagues to join 
me in mourning his passing and honoring his unwavering patriotism and 
legendary service to our country and community.
