Mr. Zaleski emerged from humble roots in the great depression growing up on a farm in Lambertville Michigan. After many life and job adventures in his youth he served honorably in the Air Force, in World War II. After the war at a Friday night dance at the Hickory Park dance hall, he was fortunate to meet his future wife, Rose Quinn. A smile and wink from Rose at the front door was the beginning of a great life together. They were happy to share 44 years of marriage Mr. Zaleski had managed the former Toledo Laundry on Ashland Avenue for many years before venturing out on his own. From a small Laundromat on Cherry Street, he grew the venture into 4 additional locations around Toledo and prospered. The business was sold in 1994, and a well-deserved retirement ensued. Mr. Zaleski dearly loved his family and had many happy times fishing, swimming and skiing at their cottages on Round Lake and then Marr Lake, in the Irish Hills .
