Deacon
John Walter Czarnecki, the well-loved and respected member
of the Bay Head and Point Pleasant communities, died Saturday in
Denver, Colorado at the age of 81, following a stroke suffered
while visiting his children and grandchildren there.
Deacon
Czarnecki lived a life of servant leadership as a teacher in the
Point Pleasant schools for 36 years, a Catholic Deacon at Sacred
Heart Roman Catholic Church in Bay Head for 16 years, and
father, friend and mentor to hundreds beyond his own family.
Those many lucky people will forever have a place in their
memories for his robust laugh, his plaid pants, and his big
heart.
Born
in 1927 to Stephana and John Walter Czarnecki Sr. in Bayonne,
Deacon Czarnecki attended the Bayonne public schools and Holy
Family Academy. After honorable service in the U.S. Army,
he received his bachelor’s degree from St. Peter’s College
in Jersey City in 1953, and completed his teacher’s
certification at Jersey City College. While teaching sixth
– eighth grades in Point Pleasant, Deacon Czarnecki received
his master’s degree from Rutgers University and further earned
an additional 168 graduate credits beyond his master’s degree
at Trenton State, Arizona State, Michigan State, Montclair
State, and Rosary Hill College. His
years as a teacher were marked by a love of teaching the
students that others had given up teaching, and also by
leadership among his peers. He served as treasurer,
secretary, vice president, and president of the Point Pleasant
Teachers Association; treasurer of the Ocean County Education
Association; and as a representative to the New Jersey Education
Association, serving on the rules committee of the NJEA General
Assembly for several terms.
He
married fellow educator Doris Christie in 1971 at Sacred Heart,
where he was an active parishioner for 50 years. During
that time he served as president of the Holy Name Society, was
an usher and lay minister, and taught religious education
classes. With Doris he was the proud father of four
children and six grandchildren. Together they also served
as foster parents – both official and unofficial – to many
area teens. In
1992, he was ordained a deacon and spent the last 17 years
serving the people of Sacred Heart, baptizing, marrying, serving
at daily and funeral masses, visiting the homebound and
hospitalized, and working with children. He had deacon
privileges in the diocese of Manchester, NH, where he spent
summers on his farm, and Denver, CO, where he spent time with
his children and grandchildren. He was particularly proud
of the hundreds of baptisms he was privileged to perform, and
kept photographs to remember each of those infants. He
officiated at the weddings of all three of his daughters as well
as the baptisms of his grandchildren.
A
resident of Bay Head for 40 years, Deacon Czarnecki is
predeceased by his parents and older brother Walter of Bayonne.
He is survived by devoted wife Doris, daughter and son-in-law
Stefka and Jeff Fanchi of Lakewood, CO, son and daughter-in-law
John Walter III and Jennifer Czarnecki of Littleton, CO,
daughter and son-in-law Felicity and Brian Bernard of Denver,
CO, and daughter Anne duPre Pendergraph of Keene, NH, along with
grandchildren Olivia Czarnecki, John Cosmo Czarnecki, Isabella
Fanchi, Naomi Fanchi, Elliette Czarnecki, and Josephine Bernard.
He is also survived by his beloved sister Helen Szumski and her
family. Deacon
Czarnecki truly lit a flame of hope, love, and laughter in the
lives of so many. Celebrate his life with his friends and
family this week -
In
lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Deacon
Czarnecki’s name be made to St. Stephen’s Fund of the

Beach.
