Zygmunt Binczyk Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Zygmunt Binczyk, 86, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 22, 2021, surrounded by his loved ones. Born in Piatnica, Poland, on April 17, 1935, he was the son of the late Feliks and Zofia (Bogucka) Binczyk, loving husband to the late Henryka Binczyk, and resided locally for the past thirty-five years. Zygmunt was a communicant of the Basilica of St. Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr and previously a member of Mater Dolorosa Church. Zygmunt, a survivor of the Second World War and the turbulent times that followed in Eastern Europe, will be remembered for his tenacity, self-reliance, and as a vibrant and talented storyteller. An avid outdoorsman in his early years, he enjoyed restoring old fishing boats, especially once his health precluded him from being in the woods or on the water. A farmer, grocer, mechanic, laborer, and everything else imaginable, Zygmunt could fix anything and build anything. His strength of will, shaped by his early life experiences, was evident to all that knew him, and was tempered only by his love for his family, and his wife Henryka, whom he spent 62 wonderful years with. He leaves his children and grandchildren with many memories of joyous moments spent together and countless stories they will treasure. Zygmunt is survived by two loving children, Bozena Gawrych and husband Marek, of South Hadley and Waldemar Binczyk and wife Irena, of South Hadley; four loving grandchildren, Martyna Gawrych, of New York, Tomasz Gawrych, of New York, Pawel Zygmunt Binczyk and wife Erin Shefferly, of Maine, and Alexander Binczyk, of Ludlow; and two great-grandchildren, Henryk Binczyk and Keira Binczyk, of Maine. He will forever be a loving “Dziadek Zygmunt” to his grandchildren. Calling hours for Zygmunt will be held Thursday from 9-10:30AM at Kozikowski Funeral Home, 565 Front St., Chicopee, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM at St. Stanislaus Basilica. Burial will follow in St. Stanislaus Cemetery.
