Support Richard Polinski's Final Farewell

Donation protected
It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my dad, Richard Polinski, on February 19, 2025. He was a wonderful father — like any father and son, we had our ups and downs, but through it all, his love and kindness were unwavering. He was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need, always ready to help without hesitation.

Richard was loved by so many. His warm spirit and generous heart touched everyone who knew him. He had a deep love for adventure and storytelling, which he brought to life through his passion for Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft. Through these games, he built lasting friendships and shared so much joy and laughter.

Over the past few years, my dad faced a long battle with illness. Despite his struggles, he remained strong, kind, and compassionate. Now, as I face the heartbreaking task of finalizing his affairs and honoring his memory, I am also faced with the financial burden of his cremation and final expenses.

I’m reaching out with humility and hope, asking for any support you might be able to offer. Whether it’s a donation, a kind word, or sharing this message, every bit of love and help means the world. My dad gave so much of himself to others — I’d love to give him the peaceful, loving farewell he deserves.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and for any support you can offer during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated.
