William “Bill” Kolakowski, 90, of Woodstock, GA passed away on Sunday, July 21, 2019 at Wellstar Tranquility at Kennesaw Mountain Marietta, GA. Bill was born on May 29, 1929 in Pennsylvania to Boleslaw (William) and Stefania (Stella Alabovitz) Kolakowski.  He was the youngest of seven children.   Bill served in the United States Air Force during the Korean War stationed on Newfoundland.  After leaving the Air Force he studied Engineering at the University of Bridgeport. Mr. Kolakowski was a skilled entrepreneur all of his life, starting with the purchase of Aladdin’s dry cleaners in Darien, Connecticut.  He served as president of the Darien Chamber of Commerce and president of the Norwalk Ski Club.  He expanded his business to New Canaan when he opened Aladdin Interiors.  Bill began dabbling in real estate and rental properties when he closed the dry cleaners and leased, eventually selling, the building to Paul Newman and his business partner.  From the late 1980’s until his death he built out and rented a small tract of rental properties near Austin, Texas.  There is nothing he wouldn’t try or fix and enjoyed a life rich with hobbies. Bill is survived by his wife Bette; two daughters, Carabeth Cramer and husband Jeff, Kim Williams and husband Vince; grandchildren, Kimberly and Tad Cramer and George Williams; also a large extended family who will miss him greatly. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 27, 2019 at Poole Funeral Home Chapel with Dr. John Beyers officiating.  Burial will follow at 10:30 a.m. in Georgia National Cemetery on Tuesday, July 30, 2019.  In lieu of flowers the family request donations be made to Wellstar Tranquility at Kennesaw Mountain, 475 Dickson Avenue, Marietta, GA 30060.
