Robert N. Nowacki passed peacefully from his home to his eternal resting place on May 25, 2025 at the age of 81. He was born in Worcester to the late Matthew and Stella (Krzeminska) Nowacki on March 27, 1944. Bob will be remembered by all who knew him as a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
Bob loved capturing special moments through photography. Vacations in Vermont and Old Orchard Beach were often subjects. He usually transferred these pics into slideshows that were viewed on computers which he built. He was affectionally knon as “Bob-Bob,” a nickname given to him by his oldest grandson and one which he treasured. Whether you were a blood relative or not, he welcomed you as family.
Bob was proud of his 51-year engineering career which began at Combustion Engineering and finished at GE while remaining with the same company through all the changes.
To cherish his memory, Bob leaves his wife of 56 years, Cecile “Cis” (Perra) Nowacki, his children Mark and wife Chuen of Singapore, and Christine of Feeding Hills along with 5 grandchildren: Austin Larrabee, Diogenes, Xanthippi, Calliope, and Aristocles. He also leaves many brother and sister in-laws, nieces, nephews, and close friends.
Calling hours will be Friday, May 30, 2025 from 4-7pm at the AGAWAM CURRAN JONES FUNERAL HOME, 745 Cooper Street. Relatives and friends are invited to a Funeral Mass on Saturday at 10am at Sacred Heart Church, 1065 Springfield Street followed by burial in Springfield Street Cemetery.
