William Kalinowski Obituary
Bill was born in Worcester, son of the late Andrew and Josephine (Popowicz) Kalinowski. A graduate of St. Mary's High School in Worcester, he received his BS in Accounting from Bentley College and a Masters in Business Administration from Anna Maria College.
Bill began his career in public accounting at Coopers and Lybrand in Boston. After earning his CPA licensure he joined a Cooper's client, Rand Whitney, as Corporate Controller. Bill provided over thirty years of dedicated service to the Kraft Family as the Vice President of Risk Management and Planning. Among his many affiliations, he was a member of the Massachusetts Society of CPAs and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). He also served on the Customer Advisory Council for Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
Although Bill loved fishing, water/snow skiing, boating and movies, family was always his number one priority. He was an avid Patriots fan, and enjoyed numerous games and Super Bowls.
Bill is survived by his wife of thirty-two years, Sheri (Niemiec) Kalinowski, his children Christopher, Andrew, Katherine, and Stephanie all of Shrewsbury; brothers, Andrew of Lima, NY, Joseph of Auburn, Thomas of Shrewsbury and his sisters, Joan Hauge of Oxford and Mary Rubega of Washington, NH.

Bill was an amazing man who loved his family so much. His lifes work was dedicated to see that Sheri and the kids were healthy and well. I knew of each personally, not through contact with them as much as through the stories he told of their accomplishments. His love for them radiated and was the most important thing to him. I consider myself fortunate to have met and worked with him. I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss him greatly!

Bill's battle against cancer was truly amazing. Right up to the end, he tried to beat it. God bless his wife Sheri, Chris, Andy, Katie & Steph, and his sisters Joni and Mary for the continuous care they gave Bill during these last weeks. What a blessing to be able to live his last moments at home surrounded by loved ones. He will truly be missed, but God has now welcomed him home to heaven where I'm sure he was lovingly greeted by Babci, Dziadzie and Jen. Rest in Peace.
