Stephen Rowinski

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Stephen B. Rowinski on Sunday, August 2, 2026. Stephen was a remarkable individual who was known for his strong work ethic, his devotion to family, and his unwavering faith.

Born on November 10, 1935, in Poland, Stephen's early life was marked by the trials and tribulations of WWII. His family's journey to America was a testament of resilience and hope for a brighter future. Stephen embraced the opportunities that came his way, working on a farm, mastering the English language, and eventually attending HVCC where he earned an associate's degree in electrical technology.

Stephen's character was defined by his dedication and diligence. He spent a remarkable 50 years as an inspector in the quality control department at Zak Inc. in Green Island, New York, retiring at the age of 80. His colleagues admired him for his meticulousness and consistency.

Stephen also served his country as a member of the United States Army Reserves, a testament to his sense of duty and patriotism. Despite his professional commitments, Stephen always made time for his hobbies and interests. He liked fishing, watching classic movies, and he enjoyed walking in his community, chatting with all the neighbors.

Above all, Stephen was a family man. He is survived by his sons Stefan Rowinski, Karl (Shari) Rowinski and Josef (Maryanne) Rowinski; brother, John (Joanne) Rowinski; grandchildren, Nicholas, Stephen and Jacob; sisters-in-law, Lois and Linda Rowinski.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and Helen Rowinski and his brothers Andrew and Eugene; and his son, baby boy Rowinski.

His family was his pride and joy, and he was happiest when he was in their company. His faith in Christ was a guiding light in his life, and he found comfort and strength in reading his Bible. Stephen's life was a story of resilience, hard work, and unwavering love for his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Family and friends may call from 4 to 6 pm on Friday, August 7, 2026, at Flynn Bros, Inc. Funeral Home, 13 Gates Ave, Schuylerville, NY, 12871. His Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 am on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at Notre Dame Church, 18 Pearl St, Schuylerville, NY, 12871.
