John Peter Krawczynski, age 78, passed away peacefully, on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and hard work. Born in Germany in 1946, John and his family migrated to Pittsburgh when he was just 5 years old, seeking new opportunities and a brighter future.
Son of the Late Peter and Pearl (Borowczak) from Poland, who met after the war in Germany.
John had a long and fulfilling career as a field technician, specializing in repairing imaging ranging from ultrasound to MRI systems. John was respected and admired by his colleagues for his ability and dedication to his work. He was not only a skilled technician but also a mentor to many, always willing to share his knowledge and lend a helping hand.
John was the beloved husband of the late Sandra (Pozek) Krawczynski, with whom he shared thirty-eight wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
He was a devoted father to Sharon (Joe) Harn and John (Melissa Reft), who will forever cherish the memories of his warmth, kindness, and unwavering support. John was also a loving brother to Stefan (Sandria Gottus) and the late Margaret (Kevin) Kumpfmiller.
John was a proud and loving pap to his grandchildren Leona, Luke, Caroline, Annie and Ella. He was a regular fan at dance recitals, baseball and softball games, soccer games and chorus and band concerts. His nieces and nephews Nick, Kevin, Lucy, Erin, Ryan, and Jason were great sources of joy.
John was blessed to be the loving companion to Phyllis Hutson for the past six years.
He was a man of many talents and passions, including wood working and crafts, which he pursued with enthusiasm throughout his life. Although a man of few words, he was quick witted and amused many with his sense of humor.
John's life was a testament to the values of hard work, integrity, and love for family. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
