Frank Markowski

Frank (Franciszek) Markowski, 83, of Garfield passed away on July 29, 2021.

            Born and raised in Frydman, Poland, Mr. Markowski left home at the young age of fourteen to attend vocational school and learn a craft that would serve him throughout his life. He served two years in the Polish Navy and came to the United States in 1965, living in Clifton and then the past thirty-fours years in Garfield. Prior to his retirement in 2000, Mr. Markowski had been employed as a sheet metal fabricator with Nabisco, formerly located in Fair Lawn, for eighteen years. Previous employment had been with Metal-Fab, formerly located in Rochelle Park, as a welder and fabricator. He was an avid saltwater fisherman, loved woodworking projects including cabinet-making, had a passion for playing both the accordion and the organ and developed a love of paint-by-numbers later in life. He also enjoyed travel but above all else, loved time spent with his family.

            Mr. Markowski was predeceased by his loved and deeply missed wife, Janina (nee Stefaniak) in 2001; dear daughter-in-law, Wendy Markowski, in 2006; and his two dear siblings: Josef and Maria.

            He is survived by his three loving and devoted sons: Mark Markowski and his wife, Kathy, of Youngsville, NY, Robert Markowski and his wife, Michelle, of Wayne and William Markowski of Garfield; seven loved grandchildren: Brittany, Eric, Victoria, Robert, Samantha, Cassidy and Allison; and three cherished great-grandchildren: Penelope, Tino Jr. and Daphne.
