"In the course of America's immigration history, there have emerged leaders whose names are synonymous with the struggle and triumph of these immigrant efforts. Stanley Balzekas was that leader for Lithuanian-Americans, especially in Chicago."

"Stanley was my friend. His devotion to Lithuania & fellow countrymen was legendary. Whether you bumped into him on the streets of Vilnius or Archer Avenue, he always had a smile and a story to share.

Loretta's and my thoughts and prayers are with Stanley's family & loved ones."
