Peter Durniak In Memoriam
Everyone will fondly remember Peter Durniak in his or her very own special way. But mostly everyone who knew Peter will remember him as kind, always helpful, thoughtful, nice person and real gentleman.
I knew my Uncle Peter for more than 25 years and for 20 of them he was a second father for me. I arrived at Peter and Mary's home exactly two decades ago and they became my closest family on this side of Atlantic Ocean.
When I came to America my English was limited to merely 300 single words, which I can barely arrange into simple sentences. Every Saturday for four months my uncle drove me to the Queens Public Library for an ESL course and then picked me up after four hours it was big effort and I truly appreciated it then and now. He always greeted me after the class with a nicely wrapped, homemade sandwich that tasted incredibly delicious!
Peter was a person who never overlooked asking me in person or in a telephone conversation how were my parents. Always. I was always touched to tears by his display of interest and concern.
My uncle taught me how to cook the yummiest hot oatmeal on Earth with real milk, real oatmeal, real pears, a touch of cinnamon, and a lot of tender loving care.
While I lived with Mary and Peter for several months, Peter never ate ice cream without my company. He always waited until I came home and sat with him. He valued his family, his children, grandchildren and great-granddaughter more than anything in his life.
My Uncle Peter was content with the simple things helping others, being active in his Church, being with the people he loved.
He touched my life with many unforgettable things that I will cherish forever. I am proud and feel fortunate that my genes are from the same stock as my Uncle's Peter Durniak.
May His Memory be Eternal!

Dear Mary, Tony, and Marsha and family,
We will all remember Peter with great love and admiration. He was truly God's "good and faithful servant."
He was a wonderful man of faith and family- his own and his church family. It was an honor to serve with him on the Parish Council; his love, dedication, and devotion to Christ and His Church was evident to all who served with him. When many deemed it impossible to raise the funds to repair our cupolas, he and Mary took on the daunting project to apply for a grant that would eventually "raise the roof" and begin the renovation and restoration of our cathedral.
Peter belonged to an extraoridnary ilk of men called the maintenance committee who "took care" of our church with their God-given talents.His life was an exemplary example of what it is to be a "good and faithful servant" of the Lord.He leaves a wonderful legacy to his church and church family.We will all be forever thankful to him for this.He will always have a special place in all our hearts and prayers.
May Peter's memory be eternal. Memory Eternal!Vechnaya pamyat!
My sincerest sympathy.
Love,
Ann Kandratino, MaryEllen Kandratino-Hedson, and William Hedson
