It is with deep sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Mieczyslaw (“Mietek” or “Mike”) Kalaska, 97 years of age, on January 5 2021, after a brief stay in hospital.
He leaves in mourning his wife Gertrude (Niewiadomy), three children, John (Constance Reid), Richard (Wendy Orr), and Mary (Marvin Wrigley), 6 grandchildren, Erin, Kyle, Colin, Kiara, Adriana, and Chad, and one great-granddaughter, Hannah, who he called “Hania” and who was his greatest source of joy during his final 7 years. He also leaves behind many family members in his native Poland. He was predeceased by one son, Stanley, in 2008, as well as family members in Poland.
