William F Nykaza's World War II Record:

Sometime in the 1940's William married Rita Clara Jarzembowski.  10/22/1926-2/15/1982. Daughter of William Jarzembowski (1890-1972) and Mary Dybrowski (-1954). After William passed away in 1971, Rita remarried William Frank Radek (1917-1986).  I believe this marriage brought the children and grandchildren listed on Rita's gravestone, yet on the gravestone Rita is listed as Nykaza rather than Radek, so a little more investigation is needed.
       ***According to the comment below, William Radek was Rita Jarzembowski's first husband and the father/grandfather of the children mentioned on Rita's gravestone. This makes much more sense due to her age at William's death, and the fact that she is a Nykaza on the headstone.  Thank you so much for the comment and help--I can find no information about this family member, so it was wonderful to hear from you!
