Bio
Willie Louis Hajdik, Jr. of Wallis, TX passed away on June 16, 2014 at the age of 78. He was born on September 18, 1935 in Frydek, TX to Frances and Willie C. Hajdik, the oldest son of ten children. He married Vernetta Ann Viaclovsky on June 30, 1957. He was president of the FFA and graduated from Sealy High School in 1954. He was stationed in Fort Carson, Colorado Springs, CO while in the United States Army. When he completed his service, he immediately went to work at Jack Roach Ford where he was employed for 41 years and retired as Parts Manager. Willie also was an involved member of the Knights of Columbus and American Legion holding many key positions in both organizations. He was a source of strength to his entire family including his five grandchildren who called him "Papaw". He is survived by his wife of 57 years. He gave her the nickname "Weasel" and together they travelled to many destinations worldwide including Spain, Rome, Mexico City, Africa, and Aruba. He is also survived by his children and their families: Melinda Baros and her husband Johnny of Thornton, TX and Annette Smith and her husband Steven of Brazos Country, TX; grandchildren Misti Christian, Blake Ford, Eric Baros, Benjamin Smith, and Ryan Smith; and great-grandchild Molly Ford and soon-to-arrive Kylie Christian. Other survivors include his siblings: Ben Hajdik, Gloria Strahan, Bernadette Thompson, Frances Hinze, Beatrice Jez, Gladys Lewandowski, Virgil Hajdik, Arthur Hajdik; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and godchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and his elder sister, Henrietta Holub. Visitation will be at Guardian Angel Catholic Church on Wednesday, June 18th from 5 to 7 P.M. with Rosary to follow. Funeral mass and graveside service will be officiated by Rev. Thuy Quang Nguyen on Thursday, June 19th at 10 A.M. A reception will follow at Parish Hall. He will be remembered as fun-loving and straightforward with a mischievous smile and a quick wit. Willie gave his love selflessly to every member of his large family and his leadership and guidance will touch them for generations to come. "I have fought the good fight, I I have finished the course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7
