John Kostycz, beloved husband of Paula Mulligan, passed away at home in Porta Gorda, Florida on July 27, 2021. Born in Chicago back in 1945 to John Stephen Kostycz, Sr.(1908-1976) and Florence Kazmlerski (1917-2001), John was a high school teacher in the Chicago Public School System. After his retirement, John and Paula headed for Florida settling in Fort Myers. Frequent travelers, they really covered the world in their adventures. One of their best trips was a 40 plus day cruise circumventing Australia.
John’s funeral service is scheduled for September 11, 2021 at the former St. Joseph’s Church, now called Holy Family Parish, 195 Walcott Street in Pawtucket – the church where they were married 51 years ago. I will post further information as soon as I receive it.
May John Rest In Peace.

John was my former brother in law. His delight in his wife Paula was always evident. Their relationship was one to strive for. I knew of their happiness residing in FL. Heartfelt condolences to those he left behind.
