Individual Details

John Joseph "Jo" Zolczynski Sr.

(31 Jul 1922 - 30 Aug 2015)

Posted at findagrave.com: John Zolczynski was the son of Nick Zolczynski and Nellie Cabula, both born in Poland. Nick and Nellie immigrated to America in 1915. They had four children: Steve, Katherine, Stanley and John. In the sixty years I've known him, John "Jo" had a dry sense of humor, worked hard, and liked people to say what they mean. He did not tolerate fools.

John married Betty Jean Hadley in Ascension Catholic Church, Los Angeles California, Cinco de Mayo, 5th of May 1956, a day of celebration in California. Betty and John Zolczynski lived most of their married life in Wisconsin where they raised nine wonderful children: John, Mary, Nicholas, Timothy, (born in California) and Robert, Anne (dec.) Janet, Teresa and David, (born in Wisconsin.)

John "Jo" was a machinest in California, before moving to Wisconsin where he could get back to nature on a farm. John was an avid golfer and lived in Arizona the latter years of his life. He passed away while on a trip home to Wisconsin.

May he rest in peace.
