Mary Kantorowski planned on spending the rest of her life in the home she and her husband bought. Together they raised their family in their Fairfield, Connecticut home since 1953. However her son, Peter Kantorowski, 71 served her with eviction papers on her 98th birthday.
Wtnh.com reported that Peter Kantorowski now owns the home and has spent the last two months trying to get his mother to move out. He wants to either rent it out or sell it outright. Kantorowski claims it’s not out of greed that he wants her out of his house.
“I’m not throwing her on the street”, Peter Kantorowski stated to reporters. “At her age, at 98, I’m sure that she should be with people of her peers. She should have her meals on time.” Mary Kantorowski dismisses those claims responding that she is in good health and just wants to remain in her home.
“I didn’t think he would do it.” Mary said, “My husband worked hard, difficult jobs to buy this house. He built the garage and did a lot of work on the house and he told me never to leave it.” Mary’s husband John Kantorowski died in 1997.
Not all of Mary Kantorowski’s children agree with her oldest son’s assessment. Peter’s younger brother, Jack Kantorowski had a few harsh words for his sibling. “There are no other words to call him. He’s just a scumbag.”
Mary’s attorney is fighting the eviction. According to court documents, Mary Kantorowski has paid for all the expenses pertaining to the home. Her attorney, Richard Bortolot, Jr spoke with the Connecticut Post saying, “This is just despicable situation. Mary has been living here happily paying all the expenses for the house and now her son, Peter, comes along and is telling her, ‘Get the hell out’ so he can sell it.”
Both parties are due in court March 2nd at the Bridgeport Superior Court.
