Ziggy Wilinski, 74, was a champion for Riverhead and the Polish Hall he managed with love Around Riverhead, he was known simply as Ziggy. Synonymous with Polish Hall and easily identified by his welcoming smile, Zbigniew Wilinski was remembered this week as a champion for his hometown. “He is an icon in this community,” remarked Riverhead Town Councilman Frank Beyrodt during an impromptu tribute at the start of last week’s Town Board work session.“He was someone who always had a smile on his face.” Mr. Beyrodt called his friend, who died last Tuesday after a relatively brief battle with pancreatic cancer, the “unofficial mayor of Polish Town.”
