Michael Paul Sokolowski, a revered Cleveland restaurant owner, passed away at sixty-five. He co-owned Sokolowskis University Inn, a Tremont neighborhood staple known for Polish and Eastern European cuisine, which operated for nearly a century before closing in 2020. Sokolowski modernized the establishment, adding weekend hours and a bar with skyline views, earning it a James Beard Award. He was a community leader, umpiring baseball, teaching cooking classes, playing drums, and leading Polish groups. He passed away surrounded by his family, with music playing in the background. A funeral mass is scheduled for March seventh, with donations to Cleveland Central Catholic High School in lieu of flowers.
