From New York comes the story of a restaurant owner who shelved his Easter plans to fulfill a dying man’s last wish.
Jokingly described as looking like “a big, bad biker guy” by his brother, 67-year-old father of 3 Frank Ozimek had a last wish as he approached his final hours: to repay some of the kindness he had received.
For 6 weeks, Ozimek had been undergoing cancer treatment at Niagara Hospice. With no success, and little time life, Frank asked his younger brother Ken for one final favor: he wanted to treat the nursing staff to a meal.
Ken Ozimek looked around on the internet but realized everywhere was closed for Easter. Eventually, Ken got through to someone: Tommy Milani, owner of Sub Delicious pizza and subs in Lockport.
“I said, ‘Absolutely, whatever you need, Ken,’” Milani told local news WKBW, adding of the hospice nurses, “They do an amazing job there. They’re all saints.”
Milani put his Easter plans on hold while he whipped up, flipped up, and delivered pizzas for the entire nursing staff.
Ken said that he was beyond grateful for Milani for helping his family at their time of loss.

“To me, it means the world to see that kindness, that greatness spread,” he told WKBW. “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?’”
Enriched by a close relationship with the Great Outdoors his whole life, Frank Ozimek was also a music lover who liked to attend the annual Niagara Falls Blues Festival. He is survived by his 3 children and 5 grandchildren.
