Sparky was a kind and friendly resident of Smith Village, and he always had a kind hello for my mom and her children when passing in the hallway or dining in the dining room. Thanks to him for making my mom’s transition more social!

Our condolences to the Holdefer family; our dad, Hank Nalezinek, worked at Witte Chevrolet with Sparky for many years and shared so many stories about life in the body and mechanic shop. together. So many laughs that they shared. Sparky will also be remembered as the lieutenant on the Blue Island Fire Department and eventually achieving the rank of fire chief. Sparky was special to our mother, Josephine Nalezinek, as they both were Leap Year babies and celebrated each others birthdays with their
4 year birthday card exchange with each other.
With loss brings about so many wonderful memories of people in our past. Sparky's wonderful life sparked those memories. RIP
and as our mother and father are in heaven and talking shop with you already, our family says so long to a real Blue Island icon.
Judy Nalezinek Burkeen of Crawfordsville, Indiana and Jeannie Casey of Coral Springs, Florida.

I had the honor of being an employee with the BIPD and very often having a working relationship with the Chief. I never knew him to be anything but displaying a professional work ethic.
