John Dworak Obituary

John (Moe) and Elaine Dworak were reunited in spirit on May 20, 2013 when Elaine passed into the arms of the Lord in Colorado Springs after a brief illness. They met in the 1930's in Omaha, Nebraska while attending Creighton University. Moe then went to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Elaine followed him to New York City where they married upon his graduation in the Spring of 1943. After a career in the Army through tours of Japan, Panama, and Hawaii, they retired in 1973 to Colorado Springs and started a family real estate appraisal business with their sons Robert (Joe) and John. They are survived by their two sons, three grandchildren, John, Jenna and Marie, and four great grandchildren. They will be interred together in a private family ceremony later this summer in the cemetery of the Holy Trinity Parish at Huen, Nebraska. Online Condolences: ShrineOfRemembrance.com
