Francis Joseph Pawlowski, Jr, age, 89 of Oak Brook, IL, and Naples, FL, passed away unexpectedly June 2, 2021 in Florida. Mr. Pawlowski grew up in Chicago, IL, the son of Francis Joseph, Sr. and Helen (nee Nyka).
Mr. Pawlowski graduated from Chicago Institute of Technology. Following graduation he worked briefly for a military engineering power firm.
In 1957 he married Mary Lou Jackson in Chicago. After their nuptials, Mr. Pawlowski launched his own family engineering business for 400-cycle ground support for military aircraft. A true love of his life. The work and employees meant everything to him.
He is survived by his loving wife, Mary Lou; Children, Gayle (Ronnie), Glen (Arlene) and Grandchildren, Janae, Kevin, Ronald Zachary (Stephanie) and Kayla and Hunter and great-grandson, Samuel.
Frank led an extraordinary life in the pursuit of balancing work and responsibility, family and friends, and adventure.
It is hard to say which he loved most: skiing in Aspen, trekking the pyramids, or golfing with his buddies in Grey Oaks.
