JAMES F KOZLOWSKI 1954 - 2010

It is with great sadness that I share the news of my fathers death.  He loved ballooning, traveling to different rallies allowed us to build an extended family of pilots, passengers and crews.  Jim will be greatly missed and our lives will be forever changed because of him.  He loved to fly and it gave him so much happiness.  He lived every minute of his life fully, one of his favorite quotes was "Fly while you still have your wings."  Carry that message and my fathers memory with you.  Don't put off something that you want to do, go out and do it, and love it.  We his family would like to thank every person that touched our lives through the years.

We are changed,

Not because he left us, but because he touched us...

 With Love,

The Kozlowski Family

Balloonist's Prayer

The winds have welcomed you with softness.
The Sun has blessed you with his warm hands.
You have flown so high and so well,
That God has joined you in your laughter.
And he has set you gently back again
into the loving arms of Mother Earth.
