Atabek J. Ciechanowski

My greatest sympathy goes to the children of dear Atabek and the family from a childhood cousin that has known Atabek when we were both living in Mauritius. I will always remember your kindness and the love of eating Mauritian food.

On behalf of the many members of ASTM F17, we want to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Ata Ciechanowski's. Ata will be missed not only for his professionalism and commitment to the plastic pipe industry, but also for his enduring smile and friendly, welcoming personality. Thank you, Ata, for having been a part of our industry and each of our lives.

I'm saddened by your sudden loss. I wish I'd had the opportunity to get to know you better. My sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and coworkers who have a huge empty spot left by your loss. Godspeed on your next journey.

Ata - You were my first boss out of college. We ran our first marathons together in 2004, not to mention all the other races and long training runs. We took trips and vacations together. You were a celebrity at our Michigan football tailgates, making your famous and award winning jerk chicken. So many wonderful memories and sad we won't get to make more. Thanks for being a great friend. I'll deeply miss you. Rest easy.

My sincere condolences to Ata's family. He will be missed.

I worked under Ata at NSF for 5 years. He was a fair boss. One particular memory is from one of our Halloween events at work. He allowed me to decorate his office with large black vinyl walls and tons of green glitter, which He was still finding for months. That year he was the Great and Powerful Oz. There may be photos in the work archives but I unfortunately don't have one. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

ata was not only my boos and mentor, but he was my dear friend. I am Crushed by the loss of this intelligent, caring and understanding man. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with him family whom he loved so dearly.

I worked with Ata at NSF and also enjoyed seeing him at races, as we both ran. He was very bright and he also had a great sense of humor.
