In 1966 he immigrated with his family to Canada; his ideal country of which he dreamed of settling in for so many years before. Stefan will be lovingly remembered by all who knew him as a sociable man who had a good sense of humor, and loved good company of friends and family members. He was known to take advantage of every opportunity to gather, to laugh and to relive pleasant memories through song and dance. In his retirement years, Stefan along with his wife, enjoyed working in their garden and tenderly looking after his various fruit trees. The last several months of Stefan's life were spent in Versa Care Nursing Home. We sincerely thank the caring and dedicated staff who tried hard to make his stay there pleasant and comfortable. Arrangements are entrusted to the George Darte Funeral Home. Funeral liturgy will be held on Tuesday October 11, 2005 at 11;30am at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, with burial at Victoria Lawn Cemetery.
