Robert M. Tarnowski, "Bob", 77, of Salem, and formerly of Colchester, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 12, 2017, with his family by his side. Born October 8, 1939 in New London, he was the son of the late Henry and Mary (Ruszala) Tarnowski. Bob married his beloved Marie Ann Skut on October 14, 1961 in Colchester and made their home in Salem. He was a professional truck driver for Teamsters Local 493, and later worked for Wal-Mart in Norwich, retiring several years ago. Bob was a life-long farmer. He loved his garden, crabbing in Groton and Old Saybrook, playing Solitare, and feeding the birds outside his home. Bob was an avid fan of all sports, but especially the UCONN Husky Girls Basketball, and NASCAR. Most importantly, he will be remembered by his family as a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
In addition to his wife Marie, of 55 years, Bob leaves two daughters, Louise Plack, Linda Tarnowski and husband Patrick Baxter, two grandchildren, Samantha Barbaro and husband Steven, and Allie Plack; two brothers, Albert and Frank Tarnowski, and numerous extended family and friends.
Honoring his request, the family will hold funeral services privately. Because he always had a dog companion, donations in his memory may be made to the Humane Society, 701 Russell Rd., Newington, CT 06111. The Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home of Colchester has been entrusted with these services.
