Fred (Ignacy) Gadomski

Albany, NY-Fred (Ignacy) Gadomski, 90, passed away on November 12, 2022. Fred was born in Bonisław, Poland to an American born Polish father and a Polish born mother. Prior to World War II, his father came back to the United States to find a home for himself and his family. Due to the war, it took 10 years for Fred, his siblings, and his mother to make it to America in 1949. Being the eldest child, Fred helped take care of his siblings while his father was away. After moving to Albany, he met his wife whom he married at St. Casimir’s Church. Fred worked as a machinist at several companies and retired from Albany International in 1997 after 40 years of service. Fred was a wonderful man with an incredible sense of humor. His delivery was bold, his laugh infectious. He had the kindest heart and was always willing to give a helping hand to anyone in need. He was truly one of a kind. He also had a great love of gardening, taking care of his yard and pool, mushroom picking, and bird watching. Fred was extremely proud of his Polish heritage and instilled that upon his grandchildren, who carry on his traditions. He was a lifetime member of both the Polish American Citizens Club and Polish Community Center. More than anything, Fred loved his family and loved being a Tatuś and a Dziadzi. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. Fred was the beloved husband of 67 years of Irene (Tymczuk) Gadomski. He was the loving father “Tatuś” of Lily (Steven) Ernst of Colonie and Barbara “Basia” (Jim) Joyce of Niskayuna; devoted grandfather “Dziadzi” of Michael (Vanessa Delgado) Roche of Burbank, Stefanie Roche of Schenectady, Jimmy and Anna Joyce of Niskayuna and great-grandfather of Layla Roche of Burbank. He is also survived by his loving sister Kazia Burzynski and several nieces and nephews. Fred was predeceased by his brother George (Bernice) Gadomski.
