John Lizak

John Lizak passed away on April 8, 2022 at Baystate Medical Center surrounded by his loving family. John was born in Poland on July 11, 1954 to the late Jozef and Stefania Lizak.

He owned and operated Taylor Auto Sales and Service in Springfield since 1984. John’s customers knew they were in good and trustworthy hands. A faithful parishioner of Immaculate Conception Church, he volunteered at the annual Dozynki Polish Festival. John’s faith was unfailing. John is remembered as caring, gentle, selfless, and hardworking. He had a kind and loving heart and was always willing to help others. He asked for nothing in return.
