Wawrzynowicz, Henry R.

Henry R. Wawrzynowicz, ("Henry W."), 59, of Sugar Camp, passed away on Saturday, August 24, 2013, at home, with his wife of 14 years at his side, after a brief and intense battle with multiple myeloma.

Henry was born on August 21, 1954, in Chicago. He moved to Indian Lake in Sugar Camp in 1974 and became an expert builder and finish carpenter. On May 29, 1999, he married the love of his life, Katherine Johnson, of Spencer, WI. "Mrs. W." is a special education teacher and varsity volleyball coach at Rhinelander High School.

Henry's courage, unique personality, and positive attitude throughout his treatment touched the lives and hearts of so many, including family, friends, and the staffs of the James Beck Cancer Center, Ministry St. Mary's and St. Joseph's Hospitals, and Ministry Home Care and Hospice.

Per Henry's wishes, no funeral services will be held. A celebration of his life will take place at a later date.
