Obituary of Eugeniusz MOCARSKI

EUGENIUSZ "JADZI" MOCARSKI (June 16, 1923-July 12, 2010) It is with great sadness that the family of Eugene Mocarski announces his passing on July 12, 2010 in the comfort and care of the Middlechurch Personal Care Home. Jadzi was born in Bialystok, Poland to Aleksander and Stanislawa Mocarski. He is the youngest of five siblings, predeceased by both parents and brothers Antek, Franek, Stasiu, and his sister Frania. Orphaned and released from Siberia, at 15 Jadzi enlisted in the Polish Army. He was in the final battle of "Monte Cassino". He is a lifetime member of The Royal Winnipeg Polish Canadian Legion Branch 246. Upon coming to Canada Jadzi was welcomed by the parishioners of St. Mary's Polish National Catholic Church. In Winnipeg he met and married Daniela Mocarski who passed away on September 10, 1989. Together they raised two daughters. Jadzi worked as a lumberjack, a bartender at the Royal Alexandra Hotel, at CP Rail, and then retired from Motorcoach Industries. Jadzi was a simple man who enjoyed taking care of his granddaughters in Winnipeg, having coffee at Garden City, and watching the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win. He will be sadly missed by daughter Regina Kolodka and husband Wacek, granddaughters Serena, Dione (Dean), and great granddaughters Aviva and Xara in Calgary. Also left to cherish his memory is daughter Lorraine and husband Ihor and granddaughters Alexandra and Daniela along with several extended family members of the Bogdanowicz and Mocarski family in Chicago. A heartfelt thanks to the staff of (A1) at Middlechurch Personal Care Home who provided extraordinary loving care to "Papa". Sincere thanks also to Father Cwieka and Father Lukie for their spiritual comfort and guidance. Thanks to all of our friends who extend their love and support, we ask to be in your thoughts and prayers. A private family service was held. "Wieczny odpoczynek racz mu dac Panie."
