George J. Sliwa died on November 25, 2011 at home with his family by his side.
He is survived by his wife, Judy of 30 yrs, his 3 sons, Christopher, Nickolas and Mark.; his brothers Russell( Christine), Kenneth ( Sandy), Joseph (Margo), and his sister Debbie, nieces, nephews and friends, and his faithful companion to the end Rylee, our dog.
He was born to John and Ruth Sliwa on November 4, 1943 in Chicago. He was a machinist by trade and enjoyed his job. He also worked part time as a security officer, where he met his wife, Judy. Married in June of 1981, moved to Lombard in 1986 when we were expecting our first child, Chris. Nick was  born in January of 1990 and Mark was born in January of 1995.
He served as Post Commander for VFW 5815, he was Cub Master for Pack 242 , den leader and participated in Indian Guides. He loved to watch his boys in sports. He was at every game and was always the score keeper for baseball games. He was their #1 fan!
He always had a cup of coffee in his hands no matter what time of day. He loved to eat spaghetti, stuffed cabbage, potato pancakes, and tomatoes and pickles.
He loved to fish, watch horror movies, the gorier, the better! , CSI shows, Restaurant Impossible, and Chopped.
He was an amazing husband, always there with the right answer to my questions. I am honored to have been married to him.
It has been a long road for him. For the last 7 year, he has been sick. He was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2004. With chemo and radiation, he was able to beat the disease. In a follow up x-ray for Hodgkins , a tumor was found in his lung. It was lung cancer. After 1 yr of chemo, not much was changing and more tumors appeared. April of 2009, he was admitted to the hospital. His breathing was not good, and his kidneys were not functioning as well as they should have. It was decided to put him on oxygen 24 hrs a day. No more chemo for now. He lived comfortably at home, going to the Dr for check ups and tests as needed. Summer of 2011, the cancer had metastasized in his bones. He started to have pain. In August, the Dr. suggested Hospice come to the house. Of course George was always a stubborn man, so we did not call until November 2011. He died comfortably at home with his family at his side.
It was an honor to take care of such an amazing and strong man, who never complained about being sick. I love you and will miss you deeply,
Love, Judy
My dad was an amazing person that everyone loved and cherished. He had a full life with happiness and love. He will be missed very much by all. RIP dad. We love you so much!
Love, Chris
He was always there when we needed him. Whenever we had a question, he always had an answer. No matter what the question was, he always seemed to know everything. I will never forget all the advice he gave us. He always told us to be careful when leaving the house, we will always be careful, dad. Now rest and watch over us as we grow.
Love, Nick
My dad gave me 16 years of my life that i will never forget. He was truly my hero. He was the best dad I could have ever asked for. I hang his dog tags around the mirror of my car so I will never forget the joy he brought to my family. It is difficult to come home and not see him sitting in his favorite chair watching TV. I always knew that the end was near but I never imagined it being so soon. I know you are in a better place now and I hope you are having a wonderful time. I know you will be looking down on me and I promise I will never disappoint you. I will never forget you. I love you dad and you will always have a place in my heart.
Love, Mark
