Robert W. Pawlewicz, 91 of Fulton, passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family Monday, June 5,, 2023 at Crouse Hospital.
He was born in Syracuse on August 28, 1931, to the late Victor and Jane (Plucienski) Pawlewicz. After graduating from St. Lucy’s Academy, he served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He attended Northwestern T.V. & Electronics Institute, MN and furthered his education at the University of Minnesota and Syracuse University. Robert married, Noretta Spaulding, the love of his life and they chose to make their permanent home in Fulton. Bob was a devoted catholic and active communicant with Holy Family Church and the combined Catholic Community.
He served as a member and past president of both the Holy Family Church Parish Council and the Parent-Teacher Guild of the Fulton Catholic School. Bob’s community service extended to serving as the Town of Granby Assessor, Councilman and supported the Granby Youth Program. After 28 years, he retired from the R.E. Dietz Company, Syracuse in 1990, as the Supervisor of Design Engineering. He was also a member of the Society of the American Value Engineering. Bob appreciated spending time with his family, reading, having a well-made meal and golfing.
He enjoyed having a cigar while playing a game of cards with his sons. Bob would close every family prayer with his wish that his family be “Happy, Healthy, Strong and Most of All Good”. The entire family lives by this infamous phrase. He was pre-deceased by his siblings: Richard, Reynold, Victor, Ginette Stamm and Jacqueline Argersinger.
He is survived by his wife of more than 60 years, Noretta Pawlewicz, and their ten children: Lorilee (Michael) Dempsey, Robert (Lisa) Pawlewicz, Debra Naioti, William (Denise) Pawlewicz, John (Anita) Pawlewicz, Julie (Patrick) Galvin, Sheryl (David) Spencer, Richard (Jennifer) Pawlewicz, Daniel (Julie) Pawlewicz, and Jennifer (Michael) Brown.

Calling Hours will be held 4:00 to 7:00 PM Friday at the Sugar Funeral Home Inc., 224 W. 2nd St. S., Fulton, NY 13069.
