The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, February 19, 1923


An exceptionally large attendance of friends of Ionia and vicinity, sorrowing 
deeply with the stricken family over the sad death of Roman Slowinski, gathered 
at the Church of SS. Peter and Paul this morning at 10 o’clock for the funeral 
service.  The church was filled with those who during his life had learned to 
love and highly respect Mr. Slowinski as their friend.

The funeral Mass was given by Rev. Fr. H. D. McCarthy, Rev. Fr. Schneider, of 
Fowler, and Rev. Fr. Bart O’Sheck, of Grand Rapids. 

The sermon was preached by Rev. Fr. McCarthy, who read as his text Prov. 
27:1, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring 
forth.”  In speaking of the death of Mr. Slowinski, Rev. Fr. McCarthy said the 
accident occurred as this good man, one of the most faithful and loyal members 
of the parish, was on the way with his wife, daughter, and son to attend 
church.  Mr. Slowinski was a man who was always loyal, just, and true to his 
God and Creator.  He believed in the words of the Heavenly Father when he told 
the people to be prepared to meet their Creator, for they know not the hour the 
Son of Man shall come or they shall be called to meet Him.  Mr. Slowinski was a 
man who was loyal to his church and the community in which he lived.  He was 
always willing to help those in need.  Though Mr. Slowinski was blessed with 
this world’s goods, he was a man who thought of the hereafter and was trying to 
live a noble, Christian life.  There was not a Sunday which was too stormy to 
keep him away from the church where he could worship his Creator.

“I know,” said Rev. Fr. McCarthy in closing, “that if the mortal lips of this 
father could speak he would warn us to be prepared to meet our Heavenly Father.”

The remains were borne to their final resting place in Mt. Olivet cemetery by 
Frank Grescoviak, Leo Fialkowski, Frank Mileski, Dan Slowinski, Michael 
Slowinski, and Theodore Slowinski.  The beautiful floral testimonials showed 
the high respect in which Mr. Slowinski was held by all who knew him.
