John "Jack" Joseph Pichowski

Jack is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Kathleen, and their two children, Jill Lifsey (Stan) and Mark Pichowski (Gayle). He also leaves behind two beloved grandchildren, Alena and Gabriella, who will forever cherish their grandfather's memory.

Jack was born on July 12, 1945, in Philadelphia, PA, to the late James and Joan Pichowski. He graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and had a long career as a Licensed General Contractor in Hillsborough County. Jack proudly served in the United States Air Force and was locally stationed at MacDill AFB.

Jack was dedicated and passionate about using his skills and talents to enrich his community. One of Jack's most prideful accomplishments includes the construction of the Alpha House of Tampa. He was an active Sacred Heart Catholic Church parishioner and even served as Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus.

Jack was a phenomenal father, a fantastic friend, and a true pillar of his community. Many will miss him, and a life well-lived deserves to be celebrated.
