George Zawislak Obituary

George Anthony Zawislak 1954—2018
It is with great sadness that the family of George Anthony Zawislak announces his passing on March 16, 2018, at the age of 63, surrounded by his loving family. George was a devoted husband, loving father and adoring grandfather to his family: Barbara, Nicholas Zawislak, Erin, Drew and Allison Denney. He was a resident of Rockford, IL until moving to Hixson, TN. He was born July 31, 1954, the son of Anthony and Victoria Zawislak. He worked most of his career as an automation engineer, most recently for Amazon. He was a member of the Rockford Traffic Commission and the Hardheads soccer team. George was passionate about Chicago sports, soccer, golf and space, but his biggest passion was his family. He was a devoted family man and his family always came first. We are blessed to have had him in our lives. Also survived by siblings, Sandra (Jim) Pro, Barbara (Jeff) Anderson, Loretta (Steve) Dobson, Gregory (Laurie Jo) Zawislak and Ronald Zawislak. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Mark; and grandparents.
A celebration of George's life will be held April 14, 2018, at the American Lombardi Club, 209 Olive Street, Rockford, IL 61107. Visitation at 10:30 a.m., followed by prayer and remembrance at 11:30 a.m. Memorial donations may be made to the family.

Barb and family, I was so sorry to hear of George's passing. I only knew him thru the dental office and he was such a nice man. Very friendly and caring . I know this is so very hard for you all and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
