Bohdan "Dan" L. Sokolowski

Bohdan “Dan” L. Sokolowski, 73, passed away on March 1, 2021 at his home with family by his side. He was united in marriage to Maria Kunach-Lamos for last eighteen years.

Dan will be remembered for his gentle spirit, the love of family and friends and his sense of humor. He especially enjoyed being with his children, grandchildren, extended family, and friends. He loved nature, cars, riding his Harley motorcycle, playing golf, going to the shooting range, and (in his younger years), playing soccer and participating in the Polish Scouts in Argentina and Chicago.  He spoke three languages fluently. He always treated everyone with respect, and he was truly loved by many people who knew him.

Dan was born, alongside his twin brother Mark, on August 8, 1947 in Deddington, England. After spending his youth in Don Torcuato, Argentina, he arrived with his family to Chicago, IL in 1959. There, he attended St. Sylvester Grammar School and Weber High School. He later graduated with a bachelor’s degree from University of Illinois and served in the United States Army Reserves. While he had several careers, he was employed for the last 20+ years as regional manager for a large national maintenance company. He also loved working with his hands, and he could fix just about anything: he liked to call himself Mr. Fixit.

Bohdan leaves his wife Maria; his children Christopher Sokolowski, Michelle Sokolowski, Dorothy Weihofen, and Dorothy’s husband Scott Weihofen; his grandsons Jackson Sokolowski and Jonathan Weihofen; his step-grandchildren Bridget Lamos and Brendan Lamos; his step-children John Lamos, Steve Lamos, and Steve’s wife Tracy Pearce; his sister-in-law Anna Sokolowski; his nieces Alicia Sokolowski, Barbara Ackerman, and Barbara’s husband Sean Ackerman; his grand-nieces Aurora Marron, Annika Ackerman, and Charlotte Ackerman; his grand-nephew Alex Ackerman; his beloved aunt Maria Kowalska; and many other relatives in the USA, Poland, Argentina, and Australia.

He is preceded in death by his mother Regina (nee Chytrowska), his father Jan Sokolowski, and his twin brother Mark Sokolowski.
