BELINA BRZOZOWSKI, Georges "Jerzy"

It is with profound sadness that we announce the graceful passing of Georges, surrounded by his loving family in Montréal, on Wednesday, January, 30, 2013 at the age of 60.

He will also be missed by his four nephews, niece, precious in-laws and by exceptional friends around the world.
Georges was born in Morocco, March 3, 1952, from Polish parents. The family moved on July 6, 1965 to Canada after two post-war immigrations and being amongst the survivors of a terrible earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, on February 29, 1960. Georges worked 32 years for Pratt & Whitney in various departments and was loved by all his co-workers.

He was a skilled sportsman, especially in tennis. For more than four decades, he was an enthusiastic competitive participant in an annual Labour Day weekend tennis tournament in Rawdon, Quebec that brings together members of the Polish community.

As well, warmest thanks to Dr Golda Tradounsky and Constance, Nora, Sandra, Shiva, Ray, Michel and Richard at the Mount Sinai Hospital.

I really enjoy working with him. He was always happy and smiling even if he didn`t got it easy in his own department. One day he brought some polish pastries at work and he was happy to share it with us. He was very proud of his polish roots. Thank you my friend.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Wyrazy szczerego zalu i wspolczucia z powodu smierci Jerzyka. I met him only once in Poland many years ago.
My memories are of a charming, kind and handsome man. We are pictured together in Maciek's garden at a family reunion.
Dear Marieta - my thoughts are with you and the family. With much love and deapest sympathy to you all.

Dear Marieta,

I remember him, then known as Jerzyk, as a laughing thirteen year old boy on his bicycle as we all set out to Rawdon's Dairy Queen for the treat of the week. Even then,as I remember, he gave the impression of being cheerful, kind, and sensitive to others.
Later on, I saw him sporadically since I settled in Ottawa, and he remained a loyal Montrealer. But whenever we ran into each other, my memories of him never wavered - always kind, attentive to others, and well-bred. A constant, in addition to that great flashing smile.
I remember how he came to Ottawa for Edzio's funeral, although he wasn't well himself. He had made that extra effort because that's what people do. I will always remember that.
Edzio, Wilczek,Jerzy, our shelf is being emptied.
Our condolences.
Bibi and family.
