Obituary of Henry Charles Wozny

Henry Charles Wozny, affectionately known as "Hank," was born on March 3, 1929, in Chicago, IL. He was a loving, compassionate, and generous man, who dedicated his life to serving others and spreading joy. His unwavering loyalty to his faith, family, and community was a testament to his character. A devout Catholic and regular attendee of St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church, Henry lived a life rooted in the scripture, "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" (Acts 20:35). 

Henry spent 66 fulfilling years in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he made countless memories and left a significant impact. He was a dedicated and hardworking Warehouse Manager at Graybar Electric and took great pride in his work until retirement. Beyond his professional life, Henry had a boundless zest for life, evident in his numerous hobbies. His generosity extended to his community through his extensive volunteer work, where he spent over 50 years as a Yellow Shirt at IMS. He was also a familiar and welcome presence at the Boat Sport and Travel Show, the Flower and Patio Show, Indianapolis Indians, and Indianapolis Ice Games.

Henry was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Lottie Wozny, his beloved wife Mildred Wozny, and his sisters Alice Gajos, Irene Kuliak, Rose Antos, and Adeline Jeziorny. He is survived by his loving children Bruce Wozny, Brenda Smith, and Cynthia Wood. His enduring love, generosity, and compassion will forever be remembered by his family and those who had the privilege to know him.
