Walter John (Wally) Grabowski

Photo_Grabowski_webWalter John (Wally) Grabowski, age 67, of Coloma, formally a longtime resident of Grand Marsh, Wisconsin passed away in his home on Wednesday, August 17, 2016, after a four year fight with cancer.

Per families request and Wally’s preference no services are planned, instead the family will be hosting a celebration of Wally’s life in their home.

Wally was very talented and worked in the construction field for his whole life. When not working Wally enjoyed hunting, fishing, remodeling, his chickens and spending time with his friends and family. Wally loved entertaining and having friends over to his home. After years of applying for a bear tag he finally received a tag to hunt up by his Brother John in Mynong, WI and was able to get a bear in the last year of his life.

Wally was preceded in death by his parents Alexander and Victoria Grabowski, Sister Vicky, Brother Alex, Nephew Donny.

Survivors include:
His loving Wife of 43 + years: Linda Grabowski
Daughters; Shawnette (Dave) Brase , Lona Grabowski
Grand Children; Travis Miceli, Brenna Elenewski, Anthony Miceli
Great Grand Children; Sernity Miceli, Emarosa Donley, Layken Miceli

We would like to thank all our friends and family who helped physically and emotionally through his illness.
