Stefan Minkiewicz Obituary

MINKIEWICZ, Stefan (1936-2022)

With great sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Stefan, on July 31, 2022, surrounded by his family. Beloved father of Dorothy (Don Sweeney) and Peter (Joanne) and long-time spouse of Irena. Cherished grandfather of Amanda, Eden and Robert Sweeney and Lauren Minkiewicz (Thomas Alexandre). He is survived by his sister Lucy Szmidt in England and leaves behind many relatives and friends in Canada, England and abroad. Stefan was born in Poland and fled to Siberia at the age of four, with his family. They were evacuated to Iran and Iraq and eventually landed as refugees in India. The family moved to England and claimed refugee status, later immigrating to Canada in 1965. He had a lifelong passion for sports, having a great affiliation with Hamilton Polonia Soccer Club, and was a strong supporter of Manchester United for all his life. Special thanks to the staff at Groves Memorial Community Hospital in Fergus for their excellent care and compassion. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the hospital. Visitation will take place on Thursday, August 4, 2022 from 6pm - 8pm, at Dodsworth & Brown Funeral Home, Ancaster (378 Wilson St. E., Ancaster, 905-648-3852).
