Myron Kwiatkowski was born on June 19, 1946, in Germany, to Ted and Jane (nee Bogdonovich) Kwiatkowski. His family immigrated to Chicago, Ill., in 1951, where he was raised and received his education. During high school, Mike went to work for Maling’s Shoe Store, where he worked until being drafted into the U.S. Army on Nov. 6, 1967. He served in Vietnam until his honorable discharge on Nov. 28, 1969. He returned to Chicago and went back to work for Maling’s Shoe Store. Mike married Kathy Duda on Oct. 24, 1970, at St. Mary Catholic Church in Berwyn, Ill. He later worked for Coinomatic until 1986, when they moved to Greenwood and bought a farm in the town of Warner. They sold the farm in 1999, bought a bar in Greenwood (M&K’s Full House Bar), which they operated until 2003, and then Mike went to work for the Cenex Co-op until retiring in 2006. He had many interests, but especially enjoyed fishing, hunting, and attending car shows. Mike was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, the Greenwood American Legion Post #238, and the Neillsville VFW Post #2241.

He is survived by his wife, Kathy, of Greenwood; his mother-in-law: Stephanie Duda of Greenwood; two sisters: Diane Loyd of Greenwood and Jane (Stanley) Dubrowski of Peoria, Ill.; two nieces: Lisa Dubrowski of Bollingbrook, Ill., and Lin Taibl of Bollingbrook, Ill.; one nephew: Eric Dubrowski of Peoria, Ill.; and other relatives and friends.
