Roger Michael Nowicki

He was born on August 15, 1938 to Judge Adam and Lillian Nowicki (nee Piotrowski.) They lived in the Detroit area of Seven Mile and Vandyke until his family moved to 15908 Dublin Avenue in Birmingham when his brother was starting high school. His father was a haberdasher, who returned to school to study law and become an attorney after his children were born. Adam also owned New Deal Grocery Store in Hamtramck where Roger worked when he was young. Roger was predeceased by his older brother Kenneth. Roger was also close to his Uncle Al Piotrowski, who predeceased Roger as did his parents.

In 1956, Roger graduated from University of Detroit Jesuit High School. He attended The University of Michigan and graduated from Cal State Northridge with a degree in accounting. Roger served in the US Naval Station in Long Beach California and remembered his time there fondly.

Eventually, he moved to Tarpon Springs, Florida where he was a devoted and loving son to his mother, Lillian, in her older years.

He is survived by his nephews Michael Nowicki (Karen) and Charles Nowicki.

Always fit and trim, he enjoyed taking daily five mile walks until a few short months before his death.
