Marian Piotrowski

Marian was born in Turek, Poland on March 23, 1925, he immigrated to Canada on a work permit. He became a Canadian Citizen on December 15th, 1967.

While working in Northwestern Ontario, he met and married Helen February and became a member of a larger family in Kenora.

After 30 years of service with the Ministry of Transportation, he retired to a life of travel and visiting with friends, as well as a trip back to Europe.

He enjoyed his time at the New Horizon Seniors Centre and was granted Honorary Life Membership for volunteering.

Maintaining a neat and tidy yard and home were also important to him. Even his 3 fur babies knew they were not to enter the house till their paws were wiped clean and dry.

Marian was predeceased by his wife Helen of 42 years in February of 2009, and by her daughters; Viola Dika, Elizabeth Longe, Isabel Longe, Lillian February and her only son Julius February.
