Clement Lewandowski

Clement J. Lewandowski, age 83, passed away February 23, 2024. Beloved husband of Rose; loving father of Mary (Jake) Middleton and Michele (Rick) Krzyminski; Proud grandpa (Papa) of Sara, Emily, and Maggie; loved by his four-legged grandsons, Scout, Toby, Wally, and Jem; dear brother of Carol (William) Plisic, Tom (Connie) Lewandowski, Rocky (Debbie) Lewandowski, and Sister Connie Marie Lewandowski; preceded in death by parents Clemence and Sophie, sisters Sylvia (Joe) Grubisic, Pearl (Butch) Svienty and Bebe (Mike) Negrette; brother-in-law to Joe (Rita) Zerial;  life-long friend to Charlie (Fran) Brown. Clem was loved by his many nieces and nephews, who often joked about which one was his favorite, and many also fought over who would sit next to him (or not) during our beloved family card games, where no one could figure out his logic. Everyone who met Clem immediately enjoyed his humor, warmth and love of life. He brought many silly smiles to the world and will be dearly missed at egg-coloring, trick-or-treating, birthday songs and many other family traditions that he made so special. His club house gang will miss him at ceramics, billiards, and at the pool.  Ping pong at Lago Vista will never be the same! In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Heart Association  www.heart.org or St. Jude at www.stjude.org would be appreciated.  Visitation Tuesday February 27, 2024, 1 pm to 8 pm at long-time family friend’s Kosary Funeral Home 9837 S. Kedzie Ave., Evergreen Park. Funeral mass Wednesday February 28^th, 10:30 am at Chapel; Interment Resurrection Cemetery, Justice; Information (708) 499-3223 or www.kosaryfuneralhome.com
