Sponsored by his brother Joe (Mary), Stanislaw immigrated to Canada with Felicija and his young family in 1960. In 1984, Stanislaw married Aniela, becoming a step-father to Jurek, Jadwiga and Wanda and step- grandfather to Paula, Eva and Marek. He was a devoted Catholic, belonging to St. Hedwigs Parish. Stanislaw was very proud of his Polish Heritage and was involved in, and devoted his time to man organizations in the Polish community. Once settled in Oshawa, Stanislaw became committed fully into the Polish community (if it's Polish, he was involved). He helped at his church, was a lifetime member of Polish Alliance of Canada Branch 21, the Polish Veterans General Sikorski, Reymond Foundation, Polish Scouts Canada, Fiesta Week, etc., and always available to any seeking advice and help. For his service to the community he received multiple honours. Stanislaw's goal was to educate people of the Holocaust of the Siberian Labour Camps during WWII (Sybirakow) where he lost four siblings and he and Aniela wrote a memorial book to record these important historical events. Stanislaw held many jobs, his first being on a Tobacco Farm in Port Hope; fittings and Hudaij from where he retired. On behalf of Stanislaw's family, we extend our sincere thanks for all the messages of sympathy and stories and ask you to pray for Stanislaw, that his soul reaches the comfort of Jesus and peace. Our sincere thanks to the staff at Copernicus for his care. A private family service was held at the McINTOSH-ANDERSON- KELLAM FUNERAL HOME LTD., 152 King St. E., Oshawa (905-433-5558).
