God Bless Alfred

Dear Hearts,

August 17th is the anniversary of the birth of Alfred Raymond Wilkoshesky: son of Alfred (Snaz) and Wanda; brother of Norbert, Carl, Eugene, Irwin, Stewart and Blanche; husband of Ann. He was born at 806 W. 50th Street in Chicago on a Wednesday in 1898, the second of seven children.

I have little information on Boompa's siblings beyond the scrupulous birth, marriage and death records passed on through the years. Alfred was baptized at the St. Joseph Polish Catholic Church with his Uncle Edmund and Aunt Stanislava as his Godparents. He attended Tilden Tech High School, like Boompa, and married Ann Stahl in 1937.

God bless Alfred, and may he be enjoying eternal life with Christ, his parents, siblings and loved ones.

God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.

Love, Patty
