Officer John "G-13" Grzywaczewski unexpectedly passed away on May 09, 2022. John, also lovingly known as "Cap" and "Gryz" to his family, friends and co-workers, was an 18 yr veteran Police Officer. He spent his first 2yrs with the New York State Police. His next 16 yrs, until his sudden passing, was with the Village of Chester Police department, his extended family. Anywhere you went, someone knew the Cap.
Gryz loved being outside, whether it was tinkering in his garage, watching NASCAR outside having some twist-teas or latte's, "chillin" with all his friends, stacking wood, going ATV riding. He loved his vinyl and would spend hours listening to his records or fixing up stereos and speakers that he would randomly find on the side of the street.
Grzy had a love of animals that was shared by the love of his life, his wife Amanda. This was evident by the mini "farm" some would say he has at the house between the chickens, goats, cat and beloved dogs that he had.
The purpose of this fundraiser set up by the Village of Chester PBA is to ease the financial burden for his wonderful wife Amanda. Gryz would give the shirt off his back to help anyone with anything they needed. Lets return the favor and show Amanda exactly how much the "Cap" meant to every single person that had the pleasure to know or interact with him by making a donation to this fund. ALL proceeds will go to John's wife, Amanda.

Our deepest condolences to John’s wife and family. We saw John every day, since we’re neighbors next to the police station. It would always be a quick hello but he always said it with a smile on his face. Our dog Cash would growl and do a dance on the deck any time John walked by but it didn’t phase him- he really liked Cash! It took awhile for me to bring Cash around him (he’s a big big bullmastiff) but last week Cash wanted to go say hello with a waggy tail and John seemed happy he was able to pet him finally! So very sad to hear he has passed. Sending all our love to the Chester police, John’s wife and family. Love- Andrea & Christian Cotter
