Frank KROWICKI

We were away from home when your tried to contact us about Frank's passing. Thank you for that consideration. We regret we were unable to be there for you.
Many thoughts flood my memory as I recall meeting Frank on the advise of Aunt Mary and Aunt Anne in Winnipeg..."Go look him up at the Krowicki Steakhouse in Calgary!!" Frank received two teenagers from Winnipeg as long lost friends and over a few "Longhorns" and a few "Crown Royal" samples astonished us with the offer of the VW van to...

I met Frank in Denmark when I was 19 years old, when I was dating his friend. He pointed out after a short time, that I was much too young to get married and leave my home, but as most young people I thought I knew it all.
I came to Canada in 1965 and after a couple of years Frank and his wife Krystyna arrived. Frank, Krystyna and their children became my family in Canada, a bond I am most grateful for. Through all the years and life's many ups and downs I knew I could always count on...

I was the one who spend the least time with Frank as compared to the rest of my family. However from the few moments I spent with him I knew he was quiet, dependable and respectful person, with good heart and a sense of duty. Helpful and kind to his friends or new immigrants lost and desperate as we and others were one day so many years ago.

I will never forget the day Frank and Krystyna invited us to the small house in the country overviewing the mountains. I still keep this magic...

Dear Krystyna, Pamela and Tamara,

We were deeply saddened by the news of Frank's passing. Frank was an incredible man and we feel very fortunate to have known him.

We are thinking of you during this difficult time.

My condolences to the Krowicki family. Frank hired me at the BarX Steakhouse in 1970. I was there when Smugglers was built and on until 1975. Because of him I was able to become a landed immigrant of Canada. Frank is the most admired and respected person that I have ever met. I wish I could have seen him one more time.

Frank ... I will always and forever remember and cherish our times together.
Our walks and our talks, hours would fly by, never enough time for wisdom, laughter and all that is real.

An honor and a blessing to have been your friend, you have taught me more than you could possibly imagine.
Most significant, to live life to the fullest, live authentically, and that it's a lot more fun coloring outside the lines!

Thank you my dear spirit friend for being you, you have...

This was a poem Frank we both liked when we met, remember? It was a long time ago but here it is, one more time;

Precz z moich oczu!... poslucham od razu,
Precz z mego serca!... i serce poslucha,
Precz z mej pamieci!... nie tego rozkazu
Moja i twoja pamiec nie poslucha.

You were my husband, the love of my life and the father of our children.
...i zawsze bede kochac, i zawsze bede tesknic
I hope Frank you are finally at peace, happy and reunited with Miles.

Deepest condolences to the entire Krowicki family. Frank always made us feel welcome and we enjoyed celebrating Tamara's birthday every year. We wish we could attend the funeral but we are out of town. Hope to see you all soon. Love, Paul, Danya and Henry Vendrinsky.
