William K. Poworoznek

William Kazmer Poworoznek, 92, of North Syracuse passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 4th at the VA Medical Center in Syracuse.

Born in Oswego, Bill was a proud Navy veteran of the USS Chopper submarine during the Korean War.  After an honorable discharge, he worked 34 years at Carrier Corp as a production assembler before becoming a production foreman.  After retiring from Carrier, he worked 4 years for the North Syracuse School District.  He was also a long time communicant and volunteer of St Rose of Lima church and belonged to the Syracuse chapter of the Knights of Columbus.

Bill enjoyed the outdoors and had a passion for camping which he shared with his wife Rita and family.  He especially loved camping in the Adirondacks in the fall and would always have a peanut ready for that curious squirrel or chipmunk.

Bill was predeceased by his wife Rita of 65 years in January 2023. Surviving are his four children; Bill (Susan) Poworoznek, Dick (Gina) Poworoznek, Bob (Lisa) Poworoznek, Lynn (Rich) Richer; seven grandchildren, three great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Calling hours will be held on Monday, May 15th from 2-5 p.m. at Sears, Middleton, Mathewson funeral home at 209 North Main St (Rt 11), North Syracuse.  A service will follow at 5 p.m at the funeral home.
