Kordek written his last colonnade appurtenance in 2003, formed on the National Lampoon's Family Vacation films, after having outlayed a life crafting machines for Genco, Bally, and Williams. He proposed his propitious vocation in 1948 with a two-flipper redesign of the pinball machine, an alleviation over the formerly year's six-flipper pattern (pioneered by Chicago's D. Gottlieb Company). From there, Kordek went on to qualification tables at Bally and Williams, such as Contact, Pokerino, and Grand-Prix.
"Pinball!" writer Roger Sharpe described Kordek's effect on the world of pinball as, "comparable to D. W. Griffith relocating from wordless drive-in theatre by talkies and shade and CinemaScope and 3-D with computer-generated graphics."
Kordek is survived by his daughter Catherine; by other daughter, Donna Kordek-Logazino; two sons, Frank and Richard; a sister, Florence Wozny; two brothers, Joseph and Frank; 6 grandchildren; and 9 great-grandchildren, according to the NYT report.
