It is with sadness that we report Aloysius J. “Al” Wycislo died in his home on January 17, 2020 in Joliet, IL. He was 67.

He taught high school for 32 years at Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, retiring in 2016. Al was a beloved and committed teacher, making a difference in the lives of many young people. Teaching was Al’s life purpose.
