April 21, 1936 — March 27, 2020

John Z. Piotrowski, 83, of Liverpool, passed away peacefully on March 27, 2020 at Elderwood of Liverpool. A native of Syracuse, John was the son of the late Zygmunt and Lottie Piotrowski. He was a 1954 graduate of North Syracuse High school and resided in Liverpool for the past 56 years.

John was a US Marine Corps veteran serving during the Korean War. He retired in 2000 after more than 45 years as a pipe fitter and was a member of the NASI Union Local #669 for over 35 years. He was Past Commander and life member of the American Legion Post #1832 in Mattydale and a member of their Color Guard. John enjoyed bowling and working on his yard and home. He was a regular blood donor for the American Red Cross; he earned the Donor of the Decade Award for 64 donations over a ten-year period and saved as many as 192 hospital patients.

He was predeceased by his wife of 48 years, the former Mary Alice (Horsington) in 2019 and by a brother, Richard “Pete”, in 2006.

John is survived by two sisters-in-law, Elaine Piotrowski of Clay and Sue Herscha of Camillus; and three nieces: Shari (Piotrowski) Schwartz, Kelli (Piotrowski) Wallace, and Michele Piotrowski.
