Harry R Paclawski

Peacefully, on September 10, 2026, at the age of 72, Harry entered into the promise of eternal life.

Beloved husband to the late Sandra (Codori) Paclawski, his wife of 42 years, and father to twin sons, Andrew Paclawski and Thomas Paclawski. Harry was the youngest son of the late Mary and Joseph Paclawski.

In addition to his sons, Harry is survived by his brothers Zygmunt (Judy) Paclawski and Henry (Yelena) Paclawski, aunt Helen Poczynski, cousins David and John (Beth) Poczynski, as well as two nieces, a nephew, and many cousins in Canada and Poland.

Harry spent his career working in sales at Vater’s Hardware, Bellevue Servistar Hardware, IDN-Hardware Sales, and Johnstone Supply and was an amazing craftsman and locksmith. Harry was skilled in all of the trades, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and carpentry.

Harry had a love for music and in his younger years, played rhythm guitar at local nightclubs. He was an avid classic car enthusiast, and was the proud owner of a 1959 Chevy Impala which he loved talking about to other car enthusiasts. Harry collected jukeboxes and all things from the ‘50s.

Harry always had a new joke to share and will be remembered for his easy, laid-back personality.

Harry survived two kidney transplants throughout his lifetime and was forever grateful to the donor families who allowed him to see his sons grow up.
