It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Mr. Gregory , one of Piast Institute's Top 25 Polish American Leaders of 2025.

Gregory Kirchner dedicated decades of his life to serving the Polish American community and the City of Hamtramck. His remarkable legacy of leadership and volunteerism included service with the Polish American Congress, the Polish National Alliance Youth Section, the Polish Scouting Organization, the Czechowski Scholarship Fund, the Hamtramck Beautification Commission, the Hamtramck Library Board, and numerous other civic and cultural organizations.

An entrepreneur, community advocate, and founder of Hamtramck Public TV-19, Gregory was deeply committed to preserving Polish heritage, strengthening community institutions, and improving the lives of those around him. Whether through public service, philanthropy, business leadership, or historical preservation, he made a lasting impact that will be remembered for generations.

The Piast Institute was honored to recognize Gregory last year as one of our Top 25 Polish American Leaders of 2025, celebrating his lifetime of leadership, service, and unwavering dedication to the Polish American community.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Gregory's family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations of leaders and community servants.

May his memory be eternal.
