Bio

Phillip Wroblewski Phillip Adolph Wroblewski died Sept. 1, 1999, in a plane crash east of Bayfield. He had been a resident of Pagosa Springs since 1998. Mr. Wroblewski was born in Milwaukee, Wis. on Nov. 25, 1939. He entered the U.S. Marine Corps at age 17. Following his military duty, Wroblewski was a police officer in southern California as an undercover drug enforcement officer. After an early retirement from law enforcement, he moved to the San Joaquin Valley and was security coordinator for Beckman Instruments in Porterville, Calif. After moving to Pagosa Springs he was employed by City Market. In the early 1980s, Wroblewski began his training as a private pilot in Long Beach, Calif., but had to put his dreams on hold until June 1990 when he resumed training and accomplished his goal a few months later. Shortly afterwards, he started a home-built aircraft project that was completed in 1995. His love for flying and his proficiency in his Van RV4 grew into a desire for acrobatic training. During the next four years he flew his RV4 more than 600 hours. Wroblewski's other interests included fly-fishing, hiking, skiing and playing the guitar, banjo and mandolin. He is survived by his mother, two sisters, his son, Brian Wroblewski of Newport Beach, Calif. and his daughter and two grandsons, Tracy, Justin and Scott Simmons of Lake Chelan, Wash. In lieu of flowers, the family has set up a Phil Wroblewski Memorial Fund at the Rio Grande Savings and Loan in Pagosa Springs to help cover expenses.
