Born in Prudnik, Poland June 12,1950. Died in hospital on Friday, August 28, 2020. Grew up in Szczawnica in southern Poland, where he unofficially became a goral, a man of the mountains. Known by family and friends for his command of the kitchen, the recipe for his famous cheesecake will forever remain a mystery. Uncle Marian was loved by his many relations for his absurd humour and rapport with young children. Survived by his wife Barbara (nee Machowska), daughters Margaret and Magda and grandkids - Emily, Sean, and Walker. Marian was loved by many both in Canada and in Poland and will be greatly missed.
