NORWICH – John Antonowicz of the Wilson Funeral Home in Norwich has recently became Chenango County’s newest licensed funeral director.

Having received his license, Antonowicz, 22, is now authorized to conduct all funeral director-related services and activities.

“After all I invested in this process, and given all that others have invested in me, it is very rewarding to have received my license,” said Antonowicz.

Antonowicz credited his Wilson Funeral Home mentors and licensed funeral directors, John Gawronski and Doug Wilson, and his Hudson Valley mortuary school director, Lori Purcell, for their guidance during this three-year process.

Antonowicz also recognized the support of the families served by the Wilson Funeral Home.

“I am most grateful to the families served by the funeral home. By allowing me to work with them during their time of need, I learned so much about how to best serve those grieving from the loss of a loved one.”
