It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Paul J. Tworek, 72 of Phoenix, Arizona. He passed away on 02/18/2022. Paul passed away at his residence in Phoenix, Arizona after a battle with Cancer. Just like he dealt with all experiences in life, Paul managed his illness with strength and grace, and wanted to spend as much time with his loved ones as possible. On his final day, he was surrounded by his family and some friends, who he adored more than anything else in the world. Paul was born in Columbus, NE on 10/1/1949 to Joe and Esther Tworek. He grew up with 6 siblings. As he got older he enlisted in the Air Force and was stationed in South Dakota and England. After his stint in the service this sparked his passion as a firefighter, auto detailer and eventually working on and restoring cars. Paul moved to Arizona in 1998 where he continued working in the auto industry and while restoring cars with friends or clients they were often showcased in the annual Barret Jackson Car show in Scottsdale AZ. This is where he became really known for his car skills and was called PAULY, The ONLY MAN TO WORK ON THEIR VEHICLES. In his spare time you might see him on the golf course, especially for charities. In his 20's he met Katie Kudryk while he was stationed in England, while in the Air Force. He met her on three different blind dates in England and eventually they fell in love and Paul brought her back to the States to reside in Nebraska. Within a couple of years they had started a family, complete with Andre', Shelby and Tiffany. As a family they loved sports and he was a longtime fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Minnesota Vikings. Being a kind and dependable father was of the utmost importance to Paul. He certainly did not disappoint when it came to wholeheartedly loving and appreciating his family. He certainly didn't tell you but his actions showed it. Paul is survived by his wife Katie Tworek of Phoenix, Brothers Bill Tworek of Columbus NE, Tom Tworek of Columbus NE, Sisters Becky Oppliger of Blair NE, Jennifer (Jainie) Whitefoot of Panama City Beach Florida, Carol Hobza Leigh NE, and Joanie Zoucha of Columbus NE, his son Shelby Tworek of Phoenix, grandsons Reid & Daxen, daughter Tiffany Tworek of Scottsdale, granddaughter Alexxis Warrington, Daughter-in-law Jen Karnik of Lincoln, and grandson Colby Karnik of Lincoln.
