Anthony MOCHINSKI Obituary
November 22, 1932 – February 4, 2014
Tony passed away peacefully on February 4th at home with his family at his side. Tony was born in Hardisty, Alberta and resided in Burnaby and later in West Vancouver. He spent much of his early years traveling and working in the Construction Industry. Tony held many senior positions during his career with Commonwealth Construction including time spent in the Philippines on the Marcopper Mining Project. In 1983 he started his own company, Merit Consultants, which provided project and construction management services worldwide. His love of sports, fishing and boating brought him much joy. His leisure time was spent aboard his yacht the "Happy Ours" with his family and friends. When he was not fishing or boating he was with his hunting buddies at their country hunting lodge that is now named after him. Tony leaves an indelible mark on all who knew him and now lives on in our hearts and memories. Survived by his loving wife Lorna, sisters Elizabeth Boyco, Olga (John) Lakusta, Eva Allegretto, Mary Mah, and brother Lawrence (Frances), son Tony Dale Mochinski, daughter Debbie Anna Mochinski and grandchildren Clint (Jodie) Mochinski, Brett Mochinski and great-grandchildren, Carter Mochinski and Emma Mochinski. The family would like to extend our deepest appreciation to all our family and friends for their love and support during Tony's brief illness. A Celebration of life will be held at the Glen Eagles Golf Course, 6190 Marine Drive in West Vancouver, B.C. on February 22, 2014 at 2:30pm.

Dear Lorna,
I never met your husband but I knew him very well through all the stories you told about him. He was a gentle, loving, caring and generous man filled with excitement and ready to party and enjoy life with you and the family and friends.
Understand that all this pain and suffering that you are experiencing is normal. Please, with your inner eye look at his cheery nature and see how he engages you in happiness and laughter.
You will become whole again. I am here for you and I love you.
Laura.

Dear Lorna and Family,
I was sad to read that Tony has passed away. I worked with Tony many years ago at Commonwealth for 5 years, then at Merit for 5 years in Australia & Papua New Guinea. Tony had a wonderful way of challenging his people to achieve. It was a great honor to be a part of the Merit organization. Margot and I extent our Condolences to all Tony's family and friends. May God Bless you all.

Dear Mochinski Family.
Very sorry to hear about the passing of Tony. I worked for CCC from 1963 until I retired in 2008 and have many fond memories of Tony

Lorna,
Wishing you and the family the greatest of sympathy. It saddened Pat and I very much to hear of Tony's passing. From the Commonwealth days through the Merit days, he was a great leader, our guiding light, and someone always to be looked up to and respected. I will always remember Tony's generosity and kindness. I strayed a few times from Merit, but he always accepted me back without judgement, as I know he did with many others. I will always remember those winter rainy days while fishing and crewing on the boat with him and Bert Baker, their very entertaining conversations and their many stories. Tony will always be remembered and never forgotten.

HI Debbie & Tony Junior, I was sad to hear about your Dad's passing. I only met you once Lorna, but Tony was a great friend. I remember the days in Endako with his first wife Flo, Debbie and Tony Jr. Tony flooded the space in front of the mobile home they lived in, so any kids lucky enough to be there with their parents would have an outside skating rink. He was really family oriented. I remember one time when he came to visit he left his boots on the porch of our cabin. Being from the Mainland, I thought I was being kind and put them inside. When Tony was ready to leave, he hollered "Who Brought my boots in?!!" I wasn't used to the snow being dry up there, and it had all melted in his boots. We later got a great laugh out of it. He really loved his fishing, even then. My condolences to all of you, and keep in touch Debbie. We'll always remember your Dad, and the good times we had. He is probably up there watching over all of you, and looking for a fishing hole, laughing at John Sinema and Phyl so he could tell them he got the biggest fish. So long Tony
