śp. Józef Cyman (85), father of Fr. Joseph R. Cyman passed away on Friday April 26, 2013 in Bytów, Poland.
śp Józef was born in Gowidlino, Poland on April 12, 1928. He grew up with nine siblings. He served three years in the army to protect his country 1950-1953. Loving husband to late śp. Agnieszka Cyman for 52 years, they married in 1954. He was a loving father of four children. He took care of his family by working in irrigation and drainage, in the bakery and mostly as the farm owner. He was involved in helping others by performing functions as Mayor in Rokiciny, a council member in the municipality of Czarna Dąbrówka and also a council member in the district of Bytów.

śp. Józef was a man of prayer and religious practice giving good example of service to the family and the parish community. I know that he is with my mother. Both of them are together with śp. Andrzej (my brother) who died in 1988. I share my grief with my family, wife, Renata, children Michael and Natalie who 
loved their grandfather in Poland. I share my sadness with sister Danuta, her husband Andrzej, brother Jerzy, his wife, Grażyna, my sister Elżunia, her husband Heniek, grandchildren Grzegorz, Roman, Agnieszka, Mariusz, and five great grandchildren. The funeral Mass took place in Rokity Poland on Wednesday, May 1st on the Solemnity of St. Joseph the Workmen. Thank you for all your prayers and signs of sympathy.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him holy. May he rest in eternal peace. Amen.
Wieczne odpoczynek racz im dać Panie, a światłość wiekuista niechaj im świeci. Niech odpoczywają w pokoju, Amen.
