Robert Lechtanski Obituary
June 24, 1935 - February 5, 2018
Warner Robins, GA- Robert "Ski" Lechtanski, 82, passed away on Monday, February 5, 2018.
Ski was born on June 24, 1935 in South Bend, Indiana to the late Joseph and Victoria Przybylski Lechtanski. Ski proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for 28 years. During his active duty service, he served as a gunner during the Vietnam War and later as a gunner instructor. Following his retirement, Ski worked at Robins Air Force Base in civil service as an aircraft mechanic. A humble man of few words, his family was his priority before all else. Ski was a member of the Moose Lodge, the VFW, and the American Legion. In his retirement, he enjoyed traveling with his wife anywhere and everywhere she wanted to go. But Saturday afternoons in the fall always found him cheering for his beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Ski was deeply loved and will be missed by all who were privileged to know him. His son, Steven Lechtanski, and brothers, Eugene and David Lechtanski, preceded him in death.
His memory will forever be treasured by his loving wife of 59 years, Donna Lechtanski of Warner Robins; children, Toni Ferreira of Atwater, California, Dawn Pease (Ron) of Aztec, New Mexico; grandchildren, Sarah Lechtanski of Ontario, California, Samantha Lechtanski of San Diego, California; daughter-in-law, Rosie Navaro of San Diego, California; sister, Linda Holderness (Jim) of Fishers, Indiana, and dog, Skipper.
The family will accept flowers or donations may be given in memory of Robert J "Ski" Lechtanski to the American Legion Post 172, P.O. Box 484, Warner Robins, GA 31099 or the Veterans of Foreign Wars, 1011 Corder Road, Warner Robins, GA 31088.
