WORCESTER__It is with great sadness that the family of Karol Pysk announces his passing on June 5, 2021, at the age of 86. Surrounded by his devoted wife and loving family, they will continue to honor his spirit of fortitude and determination.
Karol was born in Osuchowa Nowa, Poland, son of the late Jozef and Marianna (Kulesza) Pysk. He left his village and immigrated to the United States in 1964 where with perseverance he built a beautiful legacy. Through his efforts as a dedicated worker, beloved husband and father to his family, and as a faithful parishioner of Our Lady of Czestochowa Church, Karol enjoyed a full, rewarding life. Behind his quiet demeanor, laid the strength of a man whose work ethic knew no bounds. He retired from the Wonder Bread Bakery in 1996.
Throughout his life and in retirement, he enjoyed working around his home and lending a hand to others. He especially enjoyed all the outdoors had to offer, including fishing and gardening. Even more than in his own garden, he enjoyed cultivating his devotion to family - for spending time with his loved ones was his greatest pride and joy.
Karol is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Barbara J. (Pieniazek) Pysk; son Robert J. Pysk and his wife Monika of Connecticut; daughter Anna M. Seymour and her husband Shawn Seymour of Worcester. Karol was a loving Dziadek to his five grandchildren Alec, Christina, Olivia, Robert and Emily. He leaves behind cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless friends locally as well as close family in Poland and Germany. He was preceded in death by his siblings.
