Wieslaw Wykowski, age 83, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, January 26, 2023.
Born in Wykowo, Poland, Wieslaw emigrated to the United States in 1980. While living in Poland, he worked on the family farm caring for the livestock as well as planting, cultivating and harvesting all of the crops. Growing up on the farm provided Wykowo with a strong foundation and the value of hard work, which served him well the rest of his life. Before his retirement in 2013, he worked as a stock clerk for the Shoprite Supermarket in Bayonne.
Throughout the years Wieslaw was a faithful supporter of Bayonne's Polish-American community and has proudly marched with the Bayonne contingent each year in the Tri-State Pulaski Day Parade on Fifth Avenue in New York City. In his leisure time he enjoyed socializing and attending Polish events with his family and friends.
Wieslaw was predeceaed by 2 brothers. Left to cherish his memory are his children, Eva Wykowska, Aneta Polujanska, Vanessa Wykowski, Janusz, Robert (Marek), and Wesley Wykowski, and his 2 brothers and 2 sisters in Poland.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend a Memorial Mass (in Polish) on Friday, February 3, at 12:00 p.m. from St. John Paul II Parish at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, 39 East 22nd Street, Bayonne.
Cremation was privately held at Rosehill Crematory in Linden. Burial of Wieslaw's cremated remains will take place in Poland at a later date.
