In his free time, Jim found joy in hobbies such as painting and wood carving, showcasing his creativity and passion for the arts. He was a man of many talents and made a lasting impact on those around him.
Jim is survived by his loving wife of over 67 years, Shirley, his son Tom (Nadine), his daughter Sandra (Jim), his grandchildren Nicholas (Emily), Lauren (Truman), Emily (Joe) and his great-grandchildren Olivia, Paige Tinsley, Isla and another little girl due in November. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Memorial services and ceremonies to celebrate Jim's life will be held at Heritage Funeral Homes (4800 S. 84th St. Greenfield) on Sunday, September 29, 2024. A visitation will begin at 2:00 pm, followed by a memorial service at 4:00 pm.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Matthew (Ann) Piotrowski.
May he rest in peace, knowing he was cherished and will always be remembered for the legacy of love and kindness he leaves behind.

Mr. P, # 2 Dad you were a steady hand in my life when I needed it, you were so perceptive to my teenage angst and always willing to listen to my woe is me problems. Even better was your wisdom that you imparted to me, giving me a parents' perspective without being my direct parent. You always found the "funny" in life always ready with a laugh and or a smile or a quick comeback. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family during my GHS years.
You will be greatly missed Mr. Pio!
Linda
