Stanisław, beloved husband and father, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2026, at the age of 94, in Calgary, Alberta.
Stanisław was a humble man devoted to his family, guided by strong faith and deep Catholic traditions. He was born in the village of Wierzchosławice in the Kujawy region of Poland, the youngest of seven children of Józefa and Józef. He survived the brutality of World War II, and his entire family was spared. The postwar years were also not easy. Throughout those difficult times, he never lost his faith and was never afraid to stand firm in his beliefs and values.He was a talented handyman who found great joy in woodworking and home projects. For over 10 years, he helped build St. Joseph’s Church and parish in Świecie nad Wisłą, offering his time, skills, and dedication to the parish community. He supervised and welded the entire roof structure of the new St. Joseph’s Church. He also crafted many items used in the church, including a sanctuary lamp, and built a beautiful grotto for Our Lady that still stands in front of the family house. Through his hard work and strong character, he led a simple life rooted in faith.Stanisław will be remembered by his loved ones as a man of humour, generosity, and devotion to those he loved most.He leaves behind his loving family, who will forever cherish his memory.Wieczny odpoczynek racz mu dać, Panie, a światłość wiekuista niechaj mu świeci. Niech odpoczywa w pokoju wiecznym.
