It is with heavy hearts the we announce the passing of our beloved husband, amazing father, and friend to many. After fighting very hard to stay with us, Ziggy passed away on Sunday May 9th at St. Joseph's Hospital in the loving hands of his daughter Kinga. He will be deeply missed by Elizabeth, his wife and best friend of 32 incredible years. Lovingly remembered by Kinga and her husband Douglas, and his son Szymon. He is survived by his mother Kazimiera Ulazka; she and Ziggy's family take great comfort in knowing that his father Jan will be there in Heaven to welcome him with a loving embrace. He will be missed by his sisters Lucyna, Margaritta, Renata, and his brother Andrzej, and their families.
Through his passion for experiences over materialistic things, he instilled in his children the importance of seeing the world through the perspective of others, along with constant personal development and education. Ziggy lived in three different countries and spoke three different languages. He and Elizabeth loved to travel together all over the world. Being very strong in his faith, he would take any opportunity to visit places routed in Catholic history. Ziggy also spent 22 years on the road seeing Canada and the US as a long-distance truck driver. He will be missed by his fellow truck drivers, who he considered family.
Ziggy family extends their heartfelt thanks to the caring staff of the ICU at St. Joseph's Hospital for their tireless efforts and compassion. Also, special thanks to Across Country Transport for being his work family for so many years.
