George Ziemek Obituary
Resident of Cupertino
We sorrowfully announce the passing of George Jerry Ziemek on Sunday, March 31, 2019. George was born to Henry and Sophie Ziemek on April 15, 1963. George graduated from Bellarmine College Preparatory in 1981, completed his BS in Biology and BA in Military History from San Jose State University in 1985 and graduated from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 1988. He opened his dental practice in Willow Glen in 1993 and took great pride in his work.
He will be remembered for his integrity, compassion and thoroughness. George is survived by his beloved wife Pamela-with whom he has been together for 37 years-his sister Jeanette, niece Alyssa and nephews Connor and Phillip. He is also survived by his mother- and father-in-law Elli and Jim, brothers-in-law Ron and Nick, and many life-long friends. George loved traveling, gaming, reading (especially military history), cooking, stamp collecting and sports. He felt great joy from being involved with his nephews' sporting events. George will truly be missed by his family, friends and patients. His wit and smile will forever live in our hearts.
A private service will be held on April 15 as well as a celebration of life at a later date.

I was so saddened when I heard of George's passing today. He was a super nice guy and a fabulous dentist! I echo the sentiments from other patients. I used to brag to my friends that I had a pain-free dentist. My condolences go out to his family, friends and the office team...what a loss. May he rest in peace.

His wit is what I loved most. I remember when we were discussing whitener gel for my teeth and without thinking, I questioned whether the teeth in the back of my mouth would whiten. George said "what do you care, nobody will see them unless they stick their head in your mouth!" He was right, and I almost died laughing and never forgot that conversation between us. I loved having him for my dentist and I loved the fact that he was husband to my bff as they shared a great life with much love and happiness. Rest in peace my dear friend.
