FRAMINGHAM – Albert Kowalczykowski, 84, of Framingham, passed away peacefully on September 7, 2020 at Newton-Wellesley hospital, surrounded by his loving family.
He was the husband of the late Ilona Kowalczykowski until she passed away in 2003. They were married for 43 years.
Albert, born in Poland to Frank and Maria Kowalczykowski, moved with his wife to New York in 1960 to build their family in the United States. They then moved to Framingham where they lived for over 40 years, raising their 4 children.
Albert spoke 7 languages and worked for the United Nations before finding his passion in the restaurant industry.
He established himself in some of the finest restaurants in New York City. Albert took his passion for fine dining from New York and became a career restaurateur, where he was the “gentleman” everybody fell in love with. With skill and grace, he owned and managed Albert’s Continental Cuisine restaurants in the Worcester area. Albert truly loved what he did, LOVED to cook, loved to make friends with customers who became part of his family, and making people happy. He enjoyed the outdoors and it gave him great joy watching his family grow, and spending time with his family, especially his 5 grandchildren.
In his semi-retirement, Albert joined the Ken’s Steak House family, where everyone knew his name and loved seeing him.
Albert is survived by his loving children, Elizabeth Kowalczykowski of Framingham, Elena Bell and her husband Nicholas P. of Framingham, Ilona Landers and her husband Brendan K. of Framingham, and Albert Kowalczykowski and his wife Rogeria of North Easton, his 5 grandchildren, Christopher and Erika Curley, Nicholas R. Bell, Olivia I. Landers, and Ava M. Kowalczykowski, his loving sister Sonja Wallner of New York. He is also survived by his niece and nephew, Erwin and Yvanka Wallner of New York.
He was predeceased by his siblings, Johanna Kowalczykowski and Irene Anglesio, as well as his brothers-in-law Anatoli Anglesio, of Framingham and Erwin Wallner of New York
