Ervin E. Nowicki

Mr. Nowicki was my favorite & most influential teacher at WFB H.S. I was in his class from 1964-1968 and was the WFB Art Club President. He taught me the scumbling painting technique + I submitted my work of art to two national art contests and as a result, won the top 1968 Wisconsin Gold Key Award from the National Scholastic Art & Writing Competition & was also given the State of Wisconsin Hallmark Award (1968). Mr. Nowicki told me I really put WFB H.S. on the map. He was a brilliant...

My condolences go out to all his family and friends. God Bless!

We are sad to hear of Uncle Erv's passing away. Our hearts go out to you all ~ the many people he reached and the many who loved him. We stand with you in honoring a life lived well.

Julia,
My sincere condolences for the loss of your father. His legacy will live on in your heart.

I was so sorry to hear of Mr.Nowicki's
death. I graduated in 1959 and had four years of art from him.He had a tremendous influence on me and as a result I became an art teacher. He will be missed.

Your words of encouragement are with me daily, thank you.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Nowicki Family. Your lost loved one was my art teacher at Cumberland School in the 1950s. He never would have pegged me for an artist let alone the art teacher and art museum professional I eventually became. After graduating from Whitefish Bay High School I spent most of my professional life out of state. By chance I encountered Mr. Nowicki one day at the Milwaukee Airport some years ago. After several double takes we recognized one another...

Fond memories of a wonderful teacher and leader. From one of your students and graduate of Whitefish Bay High School, class of 1959.

My condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies to the Nowicki family during this difficult time.
