Stephen Wieckowski Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 30, 2014.

On the morning of May 30, George Wieckowski passed away at Desert View Hospital in Pahrump Nevada. George was 91 years old at the time of his passing. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and was the youngest of 18, a large Polish family that immigrated from Warsaw, Poland. George was a funeral director for Palm Mortuary for over 40 years and was a very dedicated employee during those years. He worked up until his mid 80’s as George never felt the desire to retire from work and most of his social life evolved around the mortuary business. He also trained the Sheriff’s Department deputies in coroners cases in Nye County. George’s hobbies were sketching, painting ( George has a number of very beautiful pastels and oil paintings) , fishing, traveling to Catalina Island, Chicago, and reading his prayer books. George was in the Air Force and met his wife Marjorie Helen Gedney while serving in the 1940’s. Out of this union was one daughter; Margaret Whittaker. He is survived by his daughter Margaret, granddaughters Troy Blain, Kim Upton , 6 great grand- children and 7 great-great grandchildren. He was not just a grandfather to his family but too many of us a father.

I worked with george at palm from 1973-1978 .He was knowlegable on so many subjects and I learned many things from him at my young age . I am sad to learn of his passing. He told me he pumped gas for Al Capone as a kid.Many other stories too numerous to tell.

Dear Uncle George,

I just learned of your passing from Renee. I want you to know I love you. I wish I could have been there for the viewing, but I didn't know. It has been too many years since we have spoken. I have been on the move often, and hard to keep track of. I have thought of you often. I won't list the regrets I have now for not staying in touch, because that is useless. What I will say is that I am very sad and as I write this, I am reminded of how much you meant to me and the whole family. I remember your beautiful piano. I remember the art ( a little). I remember the jokes. I remember how you and Margie loved my parents. And stood by them. And they loved you. I remember you took me home from babysitting Troy and Kim, and delivered me home in the herse. That was awful. What were you thinking - lol :-) Kinda cool, but not really. I remember you were catholic. I hope you got over that. haha. I never knew you were the youngest of 18. Your poor mother. Ugh. I look at your picture up top of this page and am reminded of all the holiday dinners and great laughs. The times you spent with my Dad. You are special and I will never forget you, even if we don't talk, I know you are free and roaming about everywhere with the relatives- having fun - at peace. Goodbye for now. Sheree
