Indul Piziks

My uncle Indul Piziks passed away last night. He had heart problems, and then he contracted COVID-19. It was too much for him.

Indul fled Latvia as a child with my grandparents and his two brothers (two sisters were born later) just ahead of the Russian invasion toward the end of World War II. They spent several years as refugees in Europe and finally immigrated to the United States in the 50s.

Indul worked as an engineer for GM and had several patents. He also built a sailboat in his driveway and took it all over the Great Lakes and even down to the tip of South America and back.

He leaves behind his second wife, five daughters, and nineteen grandchildren.
