Robert J. Szyniszewski

Robert Szyniszewski, 68, of Portage, MI, passed away November 1, 2023, in his home after some time under hospice care.

Robert was born on October 31, 1955, to Harry and Jane (Antczak) Szyniszewski of Detroit, MI. He graduated from St. Florian’s High School in Hamtramck, MI in 1973. After graduating, he began in sales, working a majority of his career for CSC and Frost, Inc.

On March 11, 1978, he was married to Joann Berent. Together they have 2 children, Keith and Lisa. Their family lived in Walled Lake for 16 years before eventually settling in Portage. Robert and Joann enjoyed time as members of the Eagle’s Lodge FOE. You could often find Robert spending his days out on the golf course or on the lake fishing. He was a Detroit Tigers fan and always treasured attending games with his family to cheer them on. He found solace in bird watching, building puzzles and listening to music.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents and his older brother, Harry Szyniszewski.

He is loved and survived by his wife, Joann Szyniszewski; his children: Keith (Sara) Szyniszewski and Lisa (Rex) Trott; his grandchildren: Mason, Tanner, Camryn, and Tyson; his sisters: Beverly Bauser, Marilyn Hess, Pamela Marone, Camilla (Russ) Peabody, and Arlette (Al) Papcun; his sister-in-law Judy Szyniszewski; and many nieces and nephews.
