Tad’s was a kind and generous heart wrapped in a complex history. He valued close, deep friendships and tended to express his feelings through actions and service. For him, the best days were spent quietly working on projects large or small, with a companion or without. Relationships, once established, lasted for him over the course of a lifetime regardless of the duration between contacts. His kind nature and sometimes troubled youth caused him to feel relational breakdowns very deeply, which caused strain with some of those he loved. He rarely spoke about his regrets, preferring to look forward rather than backward.
Among his many talents was a clear and powerful singing voice, for which he was well known. The sickness that would ultimately end his time on Earth, pulmonary fibrosis, was particularly insidious as it attacked his lungs and prevented him from using his favorite gift. Among his final words were, “I’ll be able to sing and dance again soon,” though his dancing ability was never confirmed.
His final day was spent in St. Vincent Hospital where he was cared for by a team who went above and beyond to determine his condition, get to know him, and ultimately respect his wishes. When he made his final request to be freed of the constant pain brought by his illness, the team acted quickly. He passed peacefully into relief surrounded by those who loved him.
Tad Krajewski was a God-fearing man who lived an honest life and provided more for his wife and children than had been given him. Also among his final words were a request for his sons. As he pointed to their mother he said, “take care of her.”
