Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kiolbassa family at this time. We are saddened to learn of Peter's passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kiolbassa family. Mr. Kiolbassa always set a great example for his sons on what it means to be a great guy. I had the pleasure of playing for Mr. Kiolbassa in Little League and look back fondly on those times as well as all the times hanging out talking about cars. He will certainly be missed
Sorry for your loss Scott....my thoughts and prayers are with you and the Kiolbassa family
Carole and family, We are so very sorry for your loss. Praying that memories of happy times with Pete bring you peace and joy. Sending our love and sympathies to you all.
