William Gromatski Obituary

Gromatski, William "Bill" 68, of Joliet, passed away April 11, 2018. Loving husband of Karen (nee Wisniewski); dear father of Jeffery and Christopher; also survived by many relatives and wonderful friends. Bill was a member of the Carpenters Union Local #10, retiring after 35 years of service; he was known to most in the trades as a "gridologist". He was known as being a jokester and was the king of "one-liners", he loved fishing and the Chicago Bears, was an avid outdoorsman, and most importantly he loved his family. He was loved by everyone and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Services will be held privately by the family.
