Greendale Volunteers Come Together To Honor Jim Cyganiak

GREENDALE, WI — Members of the community came together this week to plant a memorial tree and set up a memorial bench in honor of Jim Cyganiak, "an extremely active member in our community that will be dearly missed," organizers said.

Cyganiak died on March 2 at the age of 81. He was married to Bonnie for 58 years, and is survived by sons James, David and Mark.

Cyganiak was a member of the St. Alphonsus Catholic Church for 56 years, past owner of ServiceMaster, was an active member of Jaycee/Roosters, Greendale Historical Society, Greendale Promotions Committee, and a past member and past president for the Greendale Chamber of Commerce, according to his obituary posted online earlier this year.

He was also involved in the Boy Scouts of America, and was a Cubmaster of Pack 505. He coached Greendale Twi-Nite baseball, and was an avid supporter of local veterans.

In honor of his contributions, March 9 was named as Jim Cyganiak Day in the village.
