JK's Favorite People
"You meet many,
many people in the course of your life.
I have met and worked with some wonderful people.
I could list all my dear friends and comrades but I'm sure I'd forget a few.
Below is a few that have left and continue to leave, a lasting mark."
Peter Jezick was a dear friend and
was like a father to me. I miss him terribly!
It's been years since I put this page up and I miss him now more
that ever.
He was a marvelous man
that I loved immensely.
Craig is one of the
finest human beings you could ever meet!
He is a man of great integrity and
character.
I am fortunate and delighted to have him as a friend.
Jennifer is a very special
friend and she is the most
delightful person I have ever met!
I've spent many times at the Shanty, Lacey's, Poor Richards & now Bonefish in her presence.
Jenn is one of a kind! Jenn, You are the AWESOME one! Love ya!
Check out Jenn at The Bonefish Grill in Whitehall @ the LV Mall!
(tell her John K sent ya!) :)
Deb!
Jenn's mom Deb is
awesome too! :)
Thanx to her, I am on a much better road than I was before as I pursue my bible
study.
I should be further along!
My quest continues! Love ya Deb!
[ boy, I sure use the word awesome a lot... but it fits! It's an
awesome word! :) ]
Melissa!
Melissa is awesome! (there's
that word again!)
I am a huge Melissa fan! Such a special girl!
Need a smile? Spend 1 minute with Melissa and it's smile city!
Tammy Joy
Her middle name says it all! Tammy is such a joy!
I've known Tammy for over
20 years and although I don't get to see her or communicate with her very ofen,
she is one of those special people that leave a life-long impression on your
life!
With the warmest thoughts of well being, Tammy Joy, I wish you the best! Love ya!
:)
Dave and I became friends when I was filling in
with his band Phoenix. Dave, Renee & I spent many
a night after rehearsals hanging out upstairs. Dave and I are
currently touring the area evaluating
the many
restaurants... but for some reason, we end up at Bonefish quite often!
Hmmmm.... I wonder why?! Must be Jenn Jenn!
We will file a full report to the Morning Call
when we are done! (naa, the Morning Call doesn't deserve such an awesome report!
Some call him 'Crazy Dave' as he is loads of
fun. He is also an awesome drummer! I am SO delighted that we are
currently working together musically in DejaVu! Dave's is a super duper
special friend.
Kenny is a fine individual and a great musician.
We met years ago and have been good friends
ever since. Kenny and I occasionally double check the area's
restaurants to make sure that
Dave and I know what ta heck we are doing! Kenny has an impeccable
methodology of
improvisational stylistic styling's. Hey Kenny, let's do lunch, brunch or
dinner!
:)
Carl and I go away back! We played in many
bands together over the years. He is a fine drummer.
We get together occasionally but not enough. We need to fix that!
Life is too short! Hey Carl,
my pal, let's go and make sure that Dave, Kenny and I know what ta heck
we're doing!
It's on me! (but don't quote me) Heiheiheiheiheihhe :)
Jim Fike
Jim now lives in Florida so I rarely get to see
him. When he lived around here in the
1990s, he was monumental in making me more outgoing. We campaigned for
Ross Perot
together in 1992 and did some crazy things! (I wish I could find the pictures!)
Jim was and still is a good friend. When I least expect it, the phone
rings and it's
Fikey, "What's goin' on over there?!" Hey Jim, let get some tuna hoagies
in Cetronia!
Sue Iris
I've known Sue for 10 years or so and she is
and will always be very dear to me.
Some of the favorite times in my life were spent with Sue and her kids.
There's at least 236 reasons why I love Sue! ;)
Emmitt is a class gentleman and excellent
singer/performer.
It was an honor to work wit him! Miss ya Emmitt! :)
Tom and I grew up together!
Neighborhood musicians from very early on.
We played in many bands together. We skipped school together! (shame on
us!)
Tom is a fantastic guitarist! I don't get to see Tommy very often but back
in the day,
we were pretty close. Be sure to catch Tom with Co Op Bop! You won't
hear
a finer jazz guitarist anywhere! Love ya Tom! You always have my best wishes.
:)
Tommy & Jan Zito are awesome friends. (there's that
word again!) When Tommy and I
get together, it's laughter city! The world needs more Tommy Zitos in it!
"Hey buddy! Never change!" Love ya!
Jeff & Migdalia Roth are very missed! We had
awesome bands in the 70's & 80's!
Love you guys!
Holly Rae
Dearringer
I met Holly at the Trivet in Allentown in
the early 90's.
Holly has
a very unique & awesome personality!
If I had a dollar for every time Holly made me laugh or smile, I could retire!
Got to see Holly in Fogelsville recently! Can you say AWESOME?! I
love Holly!!
I met Rachel when I was looking to buy
a house the summer of 2005.
Rachel is one of the nicest girls I've ever met. Even with the ups and
downs that can
come
when house hunting, Rachel made it a delightful experience.
Looking to buy or sell a house? Call Rachel because she is AWESOME!
:)
Although I never got to meet Frank Sinatra, I saw him
15+ times between the 1980's
and 1990's. No one was a bigger influence in my life than Frank! (and
still is)
The anticipation and excitement on the day of a Sinatra show has never been
equaled!
When he died in 1998, it was like losing a member of my family.
I always love Frank Sinatra.
Tracy Unangst
I met Tracy in the 1980's and hadn't
seen her for ages until today March 28,2009 at the Sabbath service!
After twenty some years! I remembered her to be one of the finest persons I've ever met...
TRUE!
What a
fantastic individual! If the world only had more people like her!
We worked together in her band "Tracy & Company" in the early 80's.
She is a sensational singer and performer. I still adore you even 28+
years later.
SO marvelous to see you again and to see how great you are doing! God
Bless You Always!
Linda Fisher
Rhy Rhy
Rhyan and Justin are awesome! (there's that word
again!)
I miss those Saturday morning 'breakfast club' meetings at the Fogelsville
Hotel!
I don't get to see them often enough these days! I need to fix that! :)
Tracy Lee
"Everybody doesn't like something, but
nobody doesn't like Tracy Lee!"
Ray Cramer
Mr. Ray and I don't stay in touch as much as we used to when I was in the Cramer
Brothers Band,
but he's a friend and a good guy... Ray, I'll get out to see you guys soon! Best
wishes! :)
Dad (John G. Kacmarcik, Sr.) died in
November 1985.
Mom (Maureen Kacmarcik) turned 83 in April, 2009.
My darling sister Debbie Kacmarcik-Gauche, died in 1997. I miss her
dearly.
& my dear sister Mary Anne Kacmarcik-Maley and the Maley family are awesome!
