Lawrence Czerwinski Obituary

Czerwinski, Lawrence G. Entered into God's loving arms on April 17, 2013, at the age of 73. Cherished husband of 50 ½ years to Judy. Loving father of Catherine and Michael Peters and Susan Wargull and her fiance, Tony. Beloved Papa of Victoria, Tessa, CJ, Bella, Meghan and Allison. Dear Brother of Sylvia Wardynski, Richard and Danielle Sternke and Carol and Greg Moore. Further survived by many nieces, nephews and treasured friends. Larry was born on Nov. 1, 1939 and grew up on a small family farm in Lublin, WI. He was proud to be the first in his family to attend college; receiving his bachelors from UW-Eau Claire and his Masters in Social Work from UW-Milwaukee. He raised his family in Brookfield, WI and retired to Beaver Dam, WI, 10 years ago. Above all, Larry will be remembered for his absolute dedication to helping others. He saw the good in everyone and valued kindness and compassion over all. He touched countless lives during his 6 years as a probation officer in Milwaukee, 30 years as a social worker in Greenfield Schools plus 10 years as an assistant at Schmidt & Bartelt. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have known Larry are truly blessed and our lives are richer for it. He will be deeply missed and held joyfully forever in our hearts. Visitation to be held Saturday, April 27, 2013, at Funeral Home from 11AM until the time of service at 2PM. Burial to be held Monday, April 29, 2013, at 11AM at Wisconsin Memorial Park. Please meet in the green parking area. If so desired, please send memorials to the Salvation Army (an organization he worked with and practiced what he preached) and/or any random act of kindness in your community are appreciated.

I was saddened to read of Larry's passing. As a longtime upper elementary educator at Edgewood School in Greenfield, I was able to work with Larry often throughout the years. It was an honor and a pleasure to do so. Larry was a consummate professional....skilled, compassionate and truly interested in helping others. He touched so many lives in his work in Greenfield as well as with Schmidt and Bartelt. It was a joy to know him.

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your husband, dad and papa. You and your families are in my prayers. It's been a long time since I've seen any of you, but remember you often when I'm driving around Brookfield. Please take care and say hi to everyone for me.

Judy and family,
I met Larry when I first came to GMS in early 1972. Several years later I moved to GHS, and continued to work with him until his retirement.

I was deeply saddened to hear of his death. He was the most caring, kindest and comforting man in the district. He was always gracious, easy to work with, and no matter the size of the problem on the table, Larry was always the calming voice of reason. He was never without warmth or a welcoming smile!! A truly loving man.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Be comforted to know that in all my years in Greenfield, no one ever spoke a harsh word against Larry! How could they? What a wonderful man! You are so blessed to have been his family.
