John Theodore Cetnarowski Ii
January 22, 1932 — May 17, 2020
John Theodore Cetnarowski II, 88, passed away on Sunday, May 17, 2020 at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born January 22, 1932 to John and Josephine Cetnarowski in Akron, OH. After serving in the Korean War, John returned to Akron where he began his career as a construction contractor. After retirement, he continued to work with his sons until he was 80 years old. In 1955, John met Marcy Lorkowski, the love of his life. They were married July 23, 1955 at Annunciation Catholic Church, where he remained an active parishioner.
John was a devout Catholic, serving as an usher for the church. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Holy Name Society. John took pride in everything he did, with his greatest accomplishment being his close knit family. He loved celebrating life's moments and was happiest when holding a grandbaby on his lap.
