Paul Witkowski

Paul Witkowski, a proud U.S. Army veteran who served his country honorably in Vietnam, passed away surrounded by loved ones. His life was marked by service, strength, hard work, and deep devotion to his family.

Paul was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kathleen Witkowski (née Cleary), and his parents, Bernard and Emily Witkowski.

He is survived by his children, Jennifer Hellmer (Dave), Kristin, and Michael; his cherished grandchildren, Kylie Hellmer, Brianna Hellmer, JP Witkowski, and Jaxon Witkowski; and his long-time companion, Anna Kulikowski.

Paul spent many years working with Midwest Mechanical, where he was known for his dedication and work ethic. A lifelong Chicago sports fan, he rarely missed a Cubs or Bears game and enjoyed sharing that passion with those around him. He also had a soft spot for his many dogs through the years, each of whom brought him joy and companionship.

Paul will be remembered for his loyalty, sense of humor, and the unconditional love he gave his family and friends. His memory will live on in the stories shared, the traditions carried forward, and the love he instilled in those who knew him best.
