John Nizielski

Born on December 21, 1925 in Kosztszyn, Poland to a large and loving family. Passed away June 21, 2016 in Hamilton, Ontario. John spent WWII in Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1949 where he met the love of his life Stella (nee Miszuk) in the Polish Symfonia Choir. John and Stella enjoyed 59 years of marriage together. They are proud of their two sons Andrew (Karen) and Les (Nancy) and their three grandchildren Jessica, Kristofer and Kaz. Mourned by his sisters Fela and Aurelia. Predeceased by his siblings Ada and Leonard. Beloved brother-in-law of John & Cora Miszuk and Hedy Miszuk. John leaves behind his large and loving extended family of many nieces and nephews. John was a dedicated employee of Dofasco for 40 years. John was very proud of his heritage and he also loved his life in Canada. John was an enthusiastic fan of the Montreal Canadians. He loved nature and feeding the birds and would “talk” to the birds by whistling their songs with great precision. John will be greatly missed by all who love him. The family would like to thank the nurses and medical staff at the Hamilton General and Juravinski Hospitals. Many thanks to the neighbours for their support - it is appreciated.
