Authors Comment Jim Piechorowski  6-20-2000

One only has to be in the home of George and Adeline for a few moments to be a "Friend of the House". They are kind and gracious people in the tradition of thier respective parents and they obviously love each other and thier children very much.

While I was there little Miles & Evan called from Indianapolis and immediately became the center of attention.

 Miles, Evan and Jarod as you read this in the future know that you are very fortunate to have a GranPa to take you fishing and teach you what he has learned in life and a GranMa ( Babcia ) in our terms who is there to hold and teach you.

You are the product and end result of thier lives and a little bit of them will be in your soul for all of your life. Pass this to your children as it is the most precious treasure you can give them.

            April 20, 1925 -- Oct. 14, 2004
            George O. Holvoet, 79, of South Gladstone Avenue, South Bend, Ind.,
            passed away at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 14, in Memorial Hospital.
            He was born on April 20, 1925, in South Bend, to Maurice and Marie
            (Naessens) Holvoet, who preceded him in death along with two
            brothers, Maurice Holvoet and Joseph Holvoet; and two sisters,
            Margaret Dietchley and Dorothy Kline.
            On Aug. 9, 1947, in St. Adalbert Church, George married Adeline

            joined the South Bend Fire Department where he retired as a captain
            after 36 years of service. After the fire department assumed
            ambulance duties, George was one of the first certified EMTs. He was
            one of the first 14 firemen who was a certified life-saver trained
            for river rescues. George was a devout Catholic and a member of St.
            Adalbert Church. He loved fishing, country and western music, and
            was an avid Notre Dame and Purdue football fan. George enjoyed
            spending time with his grandchildren. He was a person who could
            light up a room.

Oral History  Adeline Piechorowski Holvoet

Adeline and Phyllis Slisz ( My Mothers Sister)  were childhood friends and lived very near each other. They played baseball a lot and when the game was over theyn would have a Bon fire and Adeline would bring the potatoes that they would eat because they had a grocery store.

Adeline remembers Uncle Louie Piechorowski comming to South Bend in his Model T to pick up the girls for a summer of fun at the farm in Terre Coupe In.

" I remember as soon as it got dark Uncle Louie would say "Everyone to Bed" as there was no electricity and everything was dark. It was scary going to the bedroom in the dark and there was a Big Tree outside the window with a Hoot Owl in it that scared the Devil out of my sister and I.

Take me home I said I don't want to come back here again...."

Uncle Louie also wanted the girls to do farm chores which might have also effected thier choice to go home !!!!

After Stanley died Uncle Louie looked after the girls, he was Adelines Godfather and gave her away at her wedding to George.
