Apr 21, 1933 – Nov 11, 2020 (Age 87)
Pisarkiewicz, Robert S. passed peacefully, surrounded by family, from complications of congestive heart failure and diabetes at St. Luke's Hospital on Wednesday, November 11, 2020, at the age of 87.
Beloved husband of 65 years to Helen Pisarkiewicz; loving father of Karen Karleskint, Diane (Terry) Manning, and Craig Pisarkiewicz; grandfather of Brad (Holly) Karleskint, Kristy (Tim) Haggett, Stacie Manning, and T.J. (Molly) Manning; great-grandfather of Zach and Max Karleskint, and Liam Haggett; dear uncle, cousin, and friend to many.
It is with heavy heart that we are announcing the passing of Bob Pisarkiewicz, the "Polish Prince of Plastic Plumbing Products" It is fitting that he passed on Veteran's Day, as Bob was ROTC Lt. Colonel at CBC, ROTC Colonel at Washington University, Air Force Officer and Pilot. He was a huge influence in our lives and we always knew how much he loved us and his entire family. Always helpful, he was a "rock" that served God, his family, community, and country. He was Catholic, a student, an athlete, engineer, military officer, business owner, politician, volunteer, and member of the CBC Hall of Fame, were just a few of his many accomplishments. He came from a very modest background and lived the American Dream through hard work, brains and tenacity. He will be greatly missed.
Services: Funeral Mass at St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church, Ellisville, Monday, 11:00 a.m. Interment Resurrection Cemetery. If desired, contributions may be made to CBC High School. Visitation at the church, Monday 10:00 a.m. until time of Mass. A service of the SCHRADER Funeral Home and Crematory. Friends may sign the family's on-line guestbook at Schrader.com.
Sorry to hear of the passing of one of my “neighborhood dads” when we were kids. He was always a great guy and will be surely missed.

Bob and I were friends since St Cecilia's elementary school and CBC High School in St. Louis. During the past 20 years, Bob was a leader in keeping the CBC Class of 1951 "together" via monthly lunches and email connections. A great man.

Helen, may the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
The lack of his presence will leave an empty spot in our hearts.

Got to know Bob at the Fountains where he lived the last couple of years. I remember helping him with his computer issues. He would tell me about his business and some of the things he sold. I alway liked Bob and look forward to seeing him. My condolences to Helen and all of his family and friends. He will be missed

Bob will be remembered as a strong supporter of the city administrator form of government. He was a no nonsense guy who always had the best interest of Ballwin at heart. Even when we disagreed on an issue, it was never personal. I will miss his infectious laugh and I valued his friendship and our candid discussions over the years.
