Kazimiera Gasinski Eppinger was born on June 6, 1921. Family, friend, or fan, this family history biography is for you to remember Kazimiera "Kay" Gasinski Eppinger.
This is my grandfather, John J. Gasinski, father of my mother, Kazimiera "Kay" Gasinski, in his confectionary/tavern in Chicago. I believe my mom is standing next to him, and her sister Bee (nee Gasinski)Peterson in the background, or visa versa. (They look soooo much alike!) The 2 patrons are unknown, though one looks to be a policeman. This is where my parents (Ira G. Eppinger and Kay nee Gasinski Eppinger) met. As dad tells it, he came to meet her sister, Bee, but saw mom and fell in love and said to himself, "I am going to marry that girl!" And they did, Oct. 16, 1943. They would have celebrated 59 yrs. together in 2002, but the good LORD needed a special angel and took mom to Heaven.... My grandfather, John, was married to Teopita/Teofilia (nee Lenart) Gasinski and had 7 children: John, Ted, Kay (my mother), Bee, Stephanie, and the twins Delores and Jeanne.
Date & Place:
at John's confectionary/tavern in Chicago, IL. United States
These are my wonderful, loving parents, Ira George Eppinger, son of Ira George Eppinger and Anna (nee Pelzer) Eppinger, and my beautiful mother, the heart of our family who left this earth to be with Jesus on July 26, 2002, Kazimiera "Kay" (nee Gasinski) Eppinger, daughter of Jan Gasinski and Teopita (nee Lenart) Gasinski. Dad and Mom were married on Oct. 16, 1943, shortly before this pic was taken, and missed celebrating their 59th wedding anniversary in 2002 due to our LORD taking a very special angel, my mother... They did create 8 perfect??? angels during their marriage, Alan, Robert, Thomas, Mary Kay, Carol, Gloria, me-Linda, and Patti and a host of grand- and great-grand children.
