Gene Adamczyk Obituary
Gene Adamczyk, age 79 of Chesterton, passed away on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at the VNA Hospice Center in Valparaiso. He was born on March 17, 1936 in New Castle, PA to Walter and Tatiana Adamczyk, both of whom preceded him in death.

Gene was a member of Saint Elizabeth's Orthodox Church in Chesterton, where he was the choir director. He attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Thereafter, he worked at River Forest Community Schools from 1958 until 1991, where he taught Russian to middle and high school students, and later music to elementary school students. He also composed and translated music for the Orthodox Church. Gene will be fondly remembered for hunting for mushrooms and his beautiful Ukrainian eggs.
