Robert Kujawa
June 4, 1943 — April 17, 2016
Robert E. Kujawa, a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather, age 72, of Green Lake, WI, passed away on Sunday, April 17, 2016, at Appleton Medical Center.
Robert was born June 4, 1943, in Chicago, IL, the son of Henry V. and Ann (Gorman) Kujawa. He graduated from Gordon Tech High School and went on to DeVry Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL. Robert married the love of his life, Carole A. Olson, on April 14, 1964 in Belle, MO, and they settled in Des Plaines, IL, where they raised their family.
Robert began his career as an electronics technician with McDonnell Douglas on NASA’s Gemini Space project, and went on to become a computer programmer and software systems manager in the nuclear power industry. Robert had a lifelong passion for aviation and flying which led him to take flying lessons to obtain his solo flight certificate and he joined the Algonquin Soaring Club. He was an avid airplane model builder, and, like his twin brother, produced several museum-quality models. Robert’s other passions included spending time with his grandchildren, computers, electronics and musky fishing.

Kujawa of Naperville, IL; eight grandchildren, Bryan “Rocky” Kujawa of Lake Forest, IL, Catrina, Daniel and Lana Kujawa all of Lisle, IL and Haley, Cort, Lilly and Layne Kujawa all of Chesapeake, VA. Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Ann Kujawa, and his twin brother, James V. Kujawa.
