BIELECKI, Adam I was born in Lincoln, England
and passed away peacefully
Sunday, April 20, 2014 in my
69th year. I was predeceased by
my parents, Aleksander and
Ursula Bielecki to whom I am
eternally thankful for instilling a
strong sense of ethics, self-
discipline, integrity and honesty
in me. To my younger siblings
Eve and Peter, you were always
first in my heart . To my loyal
friend and former wife Pamela
Jessop and my long-time friend
Jack Orchel, I thank you both for
your unending support and
kindness. I would also like to
thank my friends and colleagues
who have supported me during
my illness. The Juravinski Cancer
Centre, Hamilton, where I
received my treatment and St
Peter's Hospital, Hamilton,
Palliative Care Program, are
committed to the health care of
their patients and I thank them
for the care given to me.
I am extremely grateful to my
new country Canada for taking a
young person like myself and
nurturing me, opening a whole
new world to me in my career
and personal life. In my 48 years
in Canada, I have worked with
business and community leaders
to help transform our country
into a vibrant, diverse economy.
I have requested that there be
no funeral service. Rather, I
invite you to 'hoist one' in my
memory. To all of my friends
and acquaintances from coast to
coast to coast, I hope you will
remember me as a loyal friend,
one who tried to live his life to
the best of his ability and gave
full consideration to those
around him. A celebration of
Adam's life will be held Saturday
May 24th at St. Paul the Apostle
Roman Catholic Church, 2265
Headon Road, Burlington, in the
Father Stainsby Hall immediately
following the 5:00 p.m. Mass.
