Kazimierz (Casey) Pierepiekarz grew up in Poland during World War II and overcame many challenges to become an engineer. He was passionate about the outdoors, enjoying hikes, gardening, and sharing his potato pancakes. Casey loved time with his grandson, traveling, and relaxing at the beach. He was devoted to his friends and family, maintaining close ties with relatives in Poland. Casey was married to Helena for 50 years until her passing in 2010. He is survived by his son Mark (Gail), grandson Marek, and sister Maria Martyn in Poland. Casey’s warmth and adventurous spirit touched all who knew him. He made a final prayer for peace among all nations and will always be remembered in our hearts.
