Francis B., Sieradzki, of Wallington, strong and dignified patriarch of his beloved family, passed away in the comfort of his home on April 8, 2014. He was 92 years old, and will be laid to eternal rest Friday next to his loving wife Joan, who passed away on March 5th, after 68 years of marriage.“Scotty” was born in Republic, PA, on May 27, 1921, the son of Joseph and Mary (Stepanic) Sieradzki. In the days following the Great Depression, he often walked nearly five miles of train tracks to court “Jennie” in neighboring Allison. Before beginning their long lives together, he served with distinction in the U.S. Army for three years during World War II, participating in the invasion of Normandy and the breakthrough at St. Lo as well as the liberation of Paris and the Battle of the Bulge. One month after returning from Europe after the war, he and Jennie were married on Thanksgiving Day 1945. For that, he was forever thankful. The couple soon moved to Wallington, NJ, where they raised two daughters and rooted themselves in their church and community. Scotty retired after a long career with the Paterson News. A sincere and handsome man who had a smile on his face and a gleam in his eyes until his last days, his life was a journey full of unselfish service and quiet sacrifice for others. He was generous to a fault, and was so handy around the home he was virtually a one-man maintenance crew. A wizard woodworker, he enjoyed refinishing furniture and antiques. But, what delighted him most was his family. He was a founding parishioner of Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Church and a dedicated member of many of its ministries, including being an usher, lector, and a past president of the Holy Name Society. He was also a proud member of the Wallington VFW Pavlick Koster Post 2640, the Wallington Democratic Club, the Wallington Senior Citizens. Wallington A.A.R.P., Chapter 4115, and national A.A.R.P. He is survived by his older brother Edward and wife Anna Sieradzki of Allsion, PA, his sister-in-law Josephine Kosko of Wallington, NJ, and his brother-in-law Stanley Drusdow of Colts Neck, NJ. He is predeceased by his brothers Walter and Jake Sieradzki and sisters Bridget Kiwala and Victoria Koziol.He leaves behind his devoted daughters Maureen and Joan and sons-in-law Kenneth Slomienski and Paul Lisovicz, as well as five adoring grandchildren; Michael Slomienski, and wife Melissa; Matthew Slomienski; and Jessica, Edan and Phillip Lisovicz. And, he lived to welcome the next generation and his great-grandson, William Francis Slomienski, six weeks old. A Man of God. A life truly well lived.
