Leonard R. Mroczkowski

Leonard “Lenny” R. Mroczkowski, 86, Krakow, passed away peacefully Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at Grancare Nursing Center in Green Bay with his family at his side. The son of Frank Sr. and Rose (Gonsior) Mroczkowski was born June 7, 1934, in Krakow. On Sept. 17, 1960, he married Martha Tyczkowski at St. Stanislaus Church in Hofa Park. The couple lived in Krakow all of their married life, where they raised their family.

Lenny worked at Carver Yachts in Pulaski for 41 years, retiring from the maintenance department in June 1999. He was a member of St. Casimir Parish in Krakow, where he belonged to the Holy Name Society and was an usher. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus. Dad really enjoyed farming, farming and more farming. Even when he retired, he was at the home farm every day, several times a day.

Dad’s love for the land was not limited to the fields, as he enjoyed gardening as much as farming. He enjoyed listening and dancing to polka music. A few of his favorites were cookies, chocolate, prime rib and a good old-fashioned. Lenny was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, and we will miss him dearly. Dad’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his family. He enjoyed spending time at the cottage on Rost Lake.

Survivors include his four children, Joanie (Mark) Hansen, Green Bay, Dennis (Lisa) Mroczkowski, Krakow, Darlene (Todd) Lent, Green Bay and Ron (Kelly) Mroczkowski, Krakow; eight grandchildren: Dana (Matt) Buckoski, Brent (Rachelanne) Hansen, Harley (Jon) Duesing, Dawn (Brad Wagner) Mroczkowski, Candace Lent, Collin Lent, Jolene (Mike Pomprowitz) Mroczkowski and Josh Mroczkowski; seven great-grandchildren, Wyatt, Marcy and Natalie Buckoski, Olivia and Allison Hansen, William Duesing and Jaxton Pomprowitz; two brothers, Frank Jr. (Sheila) Mroczkowski, Arizona, and Jim (Pattie) Mroczkowski, Pulaski; four sisters, Phyllis (Matt) Dufeck, Pound, Terri (Butch) Wesolowski, Oconto Falls, Mary (Jerry) Wojkiewicz, Pulaski, Sue (Bob) Simkowski, Stevens Point, a sister-in-law, Karen Mroczkowski, Krakow, and brother-in-law, Ray Kozlowski, Pulaski; Martha’s siblings, Mary Ladowski, Pulaski, and August (Mary Jane) Tyczkowski, Pulaski; nieces, nephews; other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Martha, on March 20, 2018; his parents, Frank Sr. and Rose Mroczkowski; his father- and mother in-law, Joseph and Veronica (Holewinski) Tyczkowski; one brother, Raymond Mroczkowski, three sisters, Helen Kozlowski, Regina (Peter) Golubski, Geraldine Mroczkowski; and niece, Debra (Golubski) Reinhardt; Martha’s siblings, Alex, Alvin, and Steve Tyczkowski, Tony (Theresa) Tyczkowski, Teofil (Dorothy) Tyczkowski, Regina (Edward) Pasowicz and Angie (Wilmer) Marchant, one brother-in-law Hank Ladowski; and niece Connie Ladowski.

The funeral Mass was celebrated at 11 a.m. Monday at St. Casimir Church, W140 Park St., Krakow, the Rev. Jim Esser, O.F.M., presiding. Burial followed in the parish cemetery.

The family extends a special thank you to Grancare Nursing Center for all the wonderful care for Dad through the years and, recently, Heartland Hospice for their compassionate care through his last days.
