Tadeusz immigrated to the U.S. in 1991. His hard work and determination not only supported his family back in Poland, but also enabled his three daughters to join him abroad. Tadeusz instantly connected with people from all walks of life. Most notably, he became an integral part of the Polish community and Polish church in Boston. 

His children and grandchildren grew up knowing they could always depend on his love and support. His love language was driving, and he always offered those dear to him a ride, chatting happily on the way. 

An avid learner, Tadeusz was always eager to share his fascinating encyclopedic knowledge of many topics. He could always be counted on to brighten a room with a story or a joke. 

He often could be found cheering on the soccer team Jagiellonia Bialystok or taking walks at Castle Island, admiring the planes soaring above him. Most of all, he loved spending time with his daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and family pets. 

He will be greatly missed!

Spoczywaj w pokoju.
