The late Piotr Nowak
It is with great sadness that we inform you that Piotr Nowak - beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend - after a serious and chronic illness passed away peacefully on May 20, 2025 at the age of 75.
Piotr was born on March 3, 1950 in Poland. In 1979, he emigrated to the USA. In 1983, he opened Nowak's Farmer Market in Chicago, specializing in Polish food products and his own production of cold cuts. Polish, homemade cold cuts were quickly appreciated by the Polish community in Chicago and beyond, and were delivered to Polish communities in other states and Canada. Nowak's Farmer Market was the Piotr's life's work, and he was very proud of it. For health reasons, in 2022, Piotr had to make the decision to close the store.
Throughout his life, Piotr gave evidence of perseverance, diligence and resourcefulness. He enjoyed traveling, especially to Poland, which is evidence of his love for his homeland. He also got to know other countries and cultures, visiting Peru, Turkey, Canada and many European countries.
He leaves behind in mourning his sons Waldemar and Simon, daughters-in-law Agnieszka and Natalia, granddaughters Victoria and Michelle with her husband Marcus, brothers Andrzej and Pawel, family and friends in the USA and Poland. Grant him eternal rest, Lord.
