Stanislaw Legowski Obituary

Stanislaw F. Legowski 1937- 2025 Stanislaw F. Legowski, Professor Emeritus at UW College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, died in Gdansk, Poland on April 13, 2025. The funeral took place in Poland, where he was buried. Memorial Mass will be held for him at St. Laurence O'Toole Catholic Church on October 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM. The Mass will be celebrated by his former student, Fr. Brian John Zuelke, O.P.

Stanislaw Legowski was born in Poland, in a village near the city of Torun. His father was killed by the Germans during World War II; the rest of the family was evicted from their farm. They survived the German occupation thanks to family support and the courage and strength of Stanislaw's mother. After the war they were able to return to the family farm, but their life was not easy under the communist government where owners of larger farms were persecuted. Nevertheless, after high school Stanislaw was able to enter the Technical University of Gdansk and after getting his Master's degree became a member of the faculty of this University. His first visit to the U.S.A. was in 1975, after getting his Ph.D., where he spent some time at the University of Mississippi in Starkville and then in NOAA in Rockville, Maryland. In 1983 he was hired by the Electrical Engineering Department at UW in Laramie, where he taught until his retirement in February of 2016.
