In the heartwarming tale from New York, we find a restaurant owner who graciously set aside his Easter celebrations to honor a dying man's heartfelt wish.

Frank Ozimek, a 67-year-old father of three, who affectionately earned the nickname “a big, bad biker guy” from his brother, faced his final days with a desire to give back. After a challenging six weeks of cancer treatment at Niagara Hospice, Frank's spirit remained strong as he expressed a wish to show gratitude for the kindness he had received.

With time running short, Frank asked his younger brother, Ken, to help him fulfill this beautiful wish: to treat the dedicated nursing staff to a special meal. In the search for a place that could help, Ken discovered that many restaurants were closed for the holiday. However, a ray of hope emerged when he connected with Tommy Milani, the owner of Sub Delicious pizza and subs in Lockport.

Tommy immediately responded with enthusiasm, saying, “Absolutely, whatever you need, Ken.” He recognized the incredible work done by the hospice nurses, calling them “saints” for their compassionate care. With a generous spirit, Tommy decided to put his Easter plans on hold to prepare and deliver pizzas for the nursing staff, bringing joy and comfort during a poignant time.

Ken expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Milani, appreciating his willingness to support the family amid their loss. He shared, “To me, it means the world to see that kindness, that greatness spread. And I hope when people see this story, they take it and say, ‘Why can’t we do this and spread joy and kindness to each other?'”

Frank was a man deeply connected to nature and had a passion for music, often attending the annual Niagara Falls Blues Festival. He leaves behind a loving family, including three children and five grandchildren, who will carry on his legacy of kindness.

This touching story serves as a reminder of the power of compassion and the difference we can make in each other’s lives. Let's embrace Ken's message and inspire one another to spread joy and kindness to everyone we meet.
