Henri Kopciak

June 26, 1930 - April 7, 2022

Henri Kopciak, born June 26, 1930, in Paris, France, died April 7, 2022, in San Luis Obispo, California. He leaves behind Jeanine Grynblat Kopciak, whom he married on June 21, 1953 (69 years); his children Arlette, Hervé, and Audrey Kopciak; grandchildren Maxwell Kleniewski and Zachary, Jarad, and Samuel Kopciak; and great-grandchild Emma Isabelle Kleniewski. Henri immigrated to the United States from France in 1961 looking for work to create a better life for his family in northern New Jersey (Elmwood Park and Cresskill). Henri's education was disrupted by World War II but was nevertheless self-educated and an avid reader; fluent in 5 languages; a lover of history, wine, and music; and a damn good chess player. He was feared by all his children's friends and delighted in making his grandchildren laugh. He returned to France in 1998 with his wife, before settling in California in 2016 with his wife and daughter Audrey, where he spent his final years sun-tanned and content. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations in memorium to your favorite charity or the ARC of Frederick County.
