Philip J. Pitrowiski, 79, of Medway, died peacefully surrounded by his family on November 19, 2016. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 58 years, Carlette (Boutelle) Pitrowiski.

Phil worked at ITT Continental Bakery (Wonder Bread) for many years both in Dorchester and then Natick until retiring in 1987 whereupon he owned and operated his painting business until health issues forced him to retire at age 77.
Phil participated in many road races and Boston Marathons and was known for his running and walking in subsequent years around his hometown of Medway. Phil was a member of the Franklin Elks Lodge #2136 and the Bakery and Confectionary Union.
