Larry Sawicki Obituary

Larry was born June 17, 1943 in Toledo to Raymond and Linda (Knisely) Sawicki and grew up in Whitehouse. On October 25, 1969 Larry married Kathy (Swartzlander) at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Grand Rapids, OH. Larry was an Anthony Wayne High School graduate in the class of 1961 and attended BGSU.
He began his work life at A&P in the Transportation Dept. He then worked at Ohio Citizens/National City/PNC Bank for over 35 years, starting in the Bookkeeping Dept. before moving to Private Banking until his retirement in 2002. Larry then enjoyed a few years as a guard at The Toledo Museum of Art.

I just found out about Larry's passing. I am so sorry for all of you. I have fond memories of Larry.
He was a favorite of my Dad. I remember Larry's model train set-up, I remember going to the Whitehouse quarry with him and Uncle Ray. Larry was a kind heart and made the world a better place. His Aunt Mary (Uncle Albert Sawicki was my Dad).

Larry was by boss at Ohio Citizens Bank Commercial Loan in the early 70's. He was a great guy to work for, very helpful, very patient & never would ask you to do something he wouldn't do himself. 30+ years later, he worked with my husband, Mike, at the Toledo Museum of Art. We both have a lot of fond memories of Larry. He really was a wonderful person! I know he will be missed by Kathy & the rest of his family. So glad we got to see & talk to him at Biaggi's last month when you all were there celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary... Rest in peace.
