Obituary For Leon Andrew Lyczkowski

Leon Andrew Lyczkowski, 70, went to be with Jesus on February 1, 2012. Leon was born in Jaremcze, Poland on August 30, 1941, to the late Michael and Stefania Lyczkowski, and immigrated as a child to the U.S. with his family and became a naturalized citizen. He graduated from Deep River School in Sanford, N.C. and New Hampshire College. Leon served in the United States Air Force, and then worked as a Systems Requirements Analyst at IBM. After his retirement from IBM he worked at Kroger in Raleigh and at the A.E. Finley YMCA. Leon was an active member at his church, Raleigh First Assembly, where he served in ministries such as the Royal Rangers. Leon loved God and his family, loved life, and never met a stranger. All who knew him loved his wit and sarcastic sense of humor. Leon enjoyed cooking, hunting, fishing, gem and gold prospecting, playing the card game hearts, and collecting $2 bills. Leon worked as a weight training coach at NCSU, and was a former national champion powerlifter and world record holder. Leon is survived by his wife Ann; daughter Delynn; son Mark, his wife Christy, and their two children Grace and Charlotte; daughter Barbara; daughter Suzanne, and beloved dog Ziva and several grandpuppies. Leon is also survived by siblings: Bogdan ââ?¬Å?Nickââ?¬Â? Zlotnicki, Maria Lyczkowski, Zoriana Lyczkowski, Roman Lyczkowski, John Lyczkowski, and Daria Campbell, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by brother Walter Lyczkowski. Visitation will be at 2 pm and memorial service at 3 pm at Raleigh First Assembly on 3249 Blue Ridge Road on Sunday, February 5.

    Leon and his family came to Sanford when we were in the grammar grades. He was intellegent, funny and much loved by all his classmates. He was a real inspiration to all of us. I struggled with Math (Leon was a whiz at it) and he had problems with English SO we tutored each other. I am so grateful for his friendship. He was so proud of you..his wife and children. God bless you all.

    I had the pleasure of working with Leon at Welcome Center at AE Finley YMCA. I will treasure those memories. Leon had a heart of gold and great sense of humor. I am sure he will be missed dearly by all those who had the fortune of knowing him while on this earth. I know he is looking down on us smiling.
