IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Biletzky
May 14, 1947 – September 15, 2024
Obituary
Peter Leslie Biletzky passed away peacefully on September 15th, with his family at his side.
He was born to Frank and Margaret (Peg) Biletzky, on May 14, 1947 in Catskill, NY.
Following graduation from Norwich, NY high school, the family moved to Westport, CT.
Pete married Anita (Leonhard) in January of 1968, and they soon had two children, Jennifer and Eric.
Pete moved with his wife and children to Bridgeport, CT, then to Richmond, VA and finally to Sycamore, IL where Anita's family lived. Sycamore was home for over 20 years. It was here that Pete became a cabinet maker. He became an expert in the trade through employment at companies that specialized in wood crafts located in the Northern Illinois area. The last years of his career landed him in Minnesota and then Milwaukee. He retired and moved to Cedar Community in West Bend, WI.
Pete was a man of many interests and talents, but his greatest enjoyment came from his years as a cabinet maker craftsman. His crafting skills were put to good use during retirement as he soon became the lead teaching instructor in the Cedar Community woodshop.
Pete is survived by his children; Jennifer (Chuck) Schafer and their children Amber (Jacob) Babcock, Evan, Gordy (Ana), Spencer and Kenny; and Eric (Marcy), along with their children Will and Clara, and two great grandchildren Lily and Haley. He is also survived by his sister Fran Perlman and brother Mike along with many, many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents.
Though Pete and Anita went their separate ways in 2006, they remained good friends. Anita helped care for him during both of his struggles with cancer.
The family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to his primary doctors David Lawrence and Colin Mooney; his hospice nurse Missy Bille, and the many Cedar Community friends for all their thoughtful help and prayers. Pete loved Cedar Community, and his family is forever grateful that he moved there and found so much joy and purpose over the last seven years. Pete and his family request, in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to Cedar Community– Partners in Caring Program . https://www.cedarcommunity.org/give/
A celebration of life is planned for September 28th at the Cedar Community Lodge, time to be determined. In addition, there will be a celebration of life in Sycamore, IL later this fall.
