[N8905] Timothy Przygocki
Oct. 7, 1948 - Feb. 19, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Timothy Przygocki passed away peacefully after a long illness. Born to Marie and Joseph Przygocki (Przak) in Mishawaka, he graduated from Mishawaka High School in 1968. He was drafted in 1969, and he served in the Army HHC V COSCOM in Frankfurt, Germany. A passionate, charming man who could make anyone laugh, Tim will be missed by his family and his many friends. He is survived by wife, Robbyn Jackson, stepmother, Mary Gregor, sons, Damion (Michelle) Steele and Augustino Przygocki, daughter, Priscilla Przygocki, 3 grandchildren, sister, Carolyn (Joey) Schwalbach, and half-brothers, Eric and John Przygocki. Tim moved to San Francisco in 1972 and worked on the historic full-rigged ship BALCLUTHA, where he made historic ship preservation his passion and career, volunteering for the San Francisco Maritime Museum and working his way up to historic ship rigger. Tim served as the Safety and Hazardous Materials manager for San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park until his retirement from the NPS in September, 2010. Tim enjoyed restoring and driving his 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. A celebration of his life will be held this summer in San Francisco. For information contact: tprzak@comcast.net.
