Obituary Casimer P. Adamczyk, 96, of Niles passed away Sunday, November 13, 2022, at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. He was born March 12, 1926, in Chicago to John and Adela Adamczyk, Polish immigrants. Casimer was a man to whom family was very important. He was well-known as “Pata” to both family and friends alike. He had a lively sense of humor and a catalog of witty one liners he felt free to share with anyone and everyone, often bringing a smile … and a bit of a groan. Casimer was a veteran of World War II, serving in the Pacific theater. He served honorably in the Navy, achieving the role of coxswain and rank of petty officer while serving on the USS Cortland. Casimer or “Casey” as he was known to his co-workers, retired from Altoonian Brothers Construction in 1988 where he worked proudly as a Master Finishing Carpenter. His skills as a woodworker truly made him a craftsman and defined him as a man that paid attention to the little details. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ruby, in 2006, his sisters, Lorraine Palesh and Mae Siwak, and brothers Vince and Stanley Adamczyk. Casimer is survived by his step-son Dennis (Marianne) Gelarden; granddaughter Jacqui (Mark) Eroh, grandsons Kevin (Lena) Gelarden and Christopher Gelarden; great-grandfather of Matthew (Amanda) Adamcheck and Rebecca Adamcheck, Garrick Gelarden and Nickson Gelarden; and great-great-grandfather to Oakley Adamcheck. In addition, he had a host of beloved extended family as well as some great friends and neighbors. Among those neighbors were Bob, Brigitte, Hannah and Tyler Kabat who lovingly helped him a great deal and were basically part of the family.
