He moved to the United States in 1980, and eventually settled in northern New Jersey. Henry was a strong supporter of the vibrant community in Garfield and the surrounding areas. He and Maria have sponsored countless schools, churches, community organizations, sports clubs and youth groups, as well as the Pulaski Parade and other cultural events. Henry and Maria have also organized many charity events to support individuals and organizations in need.<\/p>\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p>In 1991, Henry and his wife Maria were able to fulfill their American Dream by establishing Piast Meats and Provisions. Opening a store that brought the unique taste of Poland to both the Polish and American communities had been their dream for many years.<\/p>\r\n<p>Already in 2005, Henry received a Gold Medal at The President\u2019s Dinner in Washington, D.C. honoring America\u2019s Business Leaders.\u00a0 He was honored with induction into the prestigious Knighthood of the Mother of God of Cz\u0119stochowa in Jasna G\u00f3ra, Poland, in 2009. Two years later, in recognition of Henry\u2019s stewardship to the Polish-American community, he had the great privilege of representing the City of Garfield as Marshal in the Pulaski Parade. In 2017, he received the Outstanding Polish-American Business Contribution Award from the Bergen County Board of Chosen Freeholders. In 2018, he was honored by the New Jersey State PBA with a Silver Honorary Award for his contributions to the local community.<\/p>\r\n<p>Henry, you will never be forgotten.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-190547 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.it.tarnow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Henry-Rybak-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.it.tarnow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Henry-Rybak-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.it.tarnow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Henry-Rybak-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.it.tarnow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Henry-Rybak-650x488.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.it.tarnow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Henry-Rybak-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.it.tarnow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Henry-Rybak.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>More at:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/radiorampa.com\/zmarl-henryk-rybak-wlasciciel-sklepow-piast\/\">https:\/\/radiorampa.com\/zmarl-henryk-rybak-wlasciciel-sklepow-piast\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vpfairlawn.com\/Obituary\/2440\/Henry+Rybak\">https:\/\/www.vpfairlawn.com\/Obituary\/2440\/Henry+Rybak<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Henry Rybak was born in 1954 in Koszyce Wielkie, in a suburb of Tarn\u00f3w.
