Age 72, of Kansasville passed away Friday, April 8, 2016 at the Hospice Alliance House in Pleasant Prairie. Bruce was born October 27, 1943 to Marion and Lillian (nee Ponick) Czajkowski in Milwaukee, WI. In 1956, he moved to Union Grove, where he graduated from Union Grove High School in 1963. On September 12, 1964 he was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Judith Kaye Pfaff at St. Mary’s Church in Dover. Following their marriage they first lived in Union Grove. Later, they moved to the town of Yorkville, and eventually to their current home on Eagle Lake in Kansasville, where they have lived for the past 20 years. In his early life Bruce worked as a meat cutter at Tip Top Foods in Union Grove, and after that he owned and operated Bruce’s Unique Windows and Doors in Caledonia.

Bruce had many interests. He was a Corvette enthusiast and collector; his favorite was his red ‘65 convertible. He loved traveling to his time share condos in a variety of cities in the U.S. but his preferred one was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. During his travels he enjoyed shopping for antiques and unique treasures. Another passion of his was raising Great Danes; the latest two were Elvis and Dayna who truly became a part of the family. More than anything, Bruce cherished his family and spending time with them.

Bruce is survived by his wife Judy; children Robin (Crystal) Czajkowski and Anne (Tony) Rodriguez; grandchildren Amanda and Amy Czajkowski and Tim, Kim and Cory Gatzow. He is further survived by his uncle John Valenti, several sisters- and brothers-in-law, and other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; step-father James Sheen; mother- and father–in-law Joyce and Robert Pfaff; and several aunts and uncles.

In lieu of flowers, the family has suggested memorials to: the Great Dane Rescue of Wisconsin, 2540 Co Rd. MN, Cottage Grove, WI, 53527; the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org; or a charity of your choosing.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to friends and loved ones for their kindness and support throughout Bruce’s illness in the past several years, and to the staff of Gentiva Hospice, especially nurse Linda, for all their care and compassion.

Services will be held on Saturday, April 16, 2016 at 3:00PM at the
Polnasek-Daniels Funeral Home with Fr. Joe Debski officiating. Relatives and friends may visit with the family on Saturday from 1:00PM until 3:00PM at the funeral home.

when I read the obituary, it brought to mind when I met Bruce in the early part of this century. Actually he came to my door and announced he was Bruce the Tugger. I always said he was lucky I didn't call the vice squad. He was in the Dells with his Corvette, and the wiring burned up. I think Judy took the train back as she had to teach, and Bruce stayed on to get that Corvette taken care of. We were asking all over who could deal with antique Corvettes and he finally got it all settled. Back then, he was a chain smoker, but he worked hard to give it up and get into shape. Unfortunately a few years later he had his first run in with cancer.
