Allan R. Wawczak

Allan R. Wawczak, 69, loving husband of Florence “Flo” Wawczak; devoted father of John (Elizabeth) Wawczak and Jeffrey (Renee) Wawczak; cherished grandpa of Adler, Jake, and Ava; treasured brother of Antoinette “Toni” (Keith) Nielsen and the late John Wawczak; uncle of many nieces and nephews, and friend of many.

Allan was a proud US Navy Veteran who served on the USS Midway. After his military service Allan worked as an electrician, HVAC engineer, and was considered a “Jack of all trades” when it came to handiwork to be done around the house or for family members. He loved to watch The Bears, go fishing with his grandchildren, spend time flying kites with the grandkids, and spend as much time outdoors in nature. Above everything else, Allan always made time for his wife, sons, and his grandchildren. His presence will be missed greatly by his family and all who knew him.
