Serge KUJAWA

Hi Darlene

I have a Regina visitor here and we were talking about friends and I mentioned you & Serge. When my friend said that Serge had passed, I quickly found his obituary.

Serge was a truly brilliant man and while I knew him only through you, if you loved him, he had to have been a very special man.

Sending you & his children my condolences.

Sorry to hear about your loss Darlene.

I was saddened to read in the October 25th Globe and Mail of Serge's passing. Serge was one of my father's closest friends from the time his family rented a suite in an apartment block my father owned on Grey Street in Regina in the late 1950's. When my father died in 1989 Serge delivered a wonderful eulogy at the memorial service. As a young teenager I always remember Serge dropping by our home often and he always found time to chat with me and throw a football or baseball around and always amazed me when he could unfailingly catch my “fastball” with his left hand, a hand with 2 fingers missing. I regret that our paths never crossed since 1989 and wish that I could have sat with him and talked about the past and future. Serge was truly an unlawyerly lawyer and a gentle man that I will always remember and respect. My heartfelt condolences go out to all his family.

Melissa and Kujawa family. I am sorry to hear about your loss. I remember meeting your father in Massachusetts. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Darlene, we were sorry to hear of the passing of Serge. We have fond memories of when he and you were staying in the cottage up the road from us. Each day when he was out walking he would stop and chat with me as I tended my flowers and such. The two of you really enjoyed the boat ride around the lake with Johnny and I. I recall the day Serge was going into Pier 21 in Halifax. He was so excited and when he came back to the lake he told me all about it. He was a real "gem" and the two of you were a lovely couple. You will have so many wonderful memories of Serge to help you through this difficult time. God Bless you.

Melissa,Melodi and the Kujawa girls,

I was sad to hear of Serge's passing.Your dad was a unique individual and a respected and unforgettable man. Condolences.

Dear Darlene,
We are sorry to hear of Serge's passing. We have fond memories of his good humour and the interesting vignettes he told of his life experiences while on the China trip and later his strategies at the bridge table!
Our thoughts are with you as you celebrate Serge's life.

Sincerely,
Louisa and Nick

Ivy,Judy, Kim(Pam),Mandi, Melissa, Melody & grandchildren Kyra, Kate, Petra & Hana our thoughts are with you all at this time. Serge was such an interesting individual who had great love for his children & granddaughters. We often had the privilege of being in his company, listening to his entertaining stories about adventures - real or made up but always enlightening. He loved the family music nights and was so proud of all of your accomplishments. Ponder & retain the happy memories and with each new day may Peace find a place in your hearts.

Dear Darlene...
We were so sorry to hear about Serge!! I know that you will miss him very much and we will miss seeing him as well. So glad that he was able to make that last trip to Nelson with you and that you will have many happy memories for years.
Love Jodi and Tyson

Melodi and Melissa, My deepest sympathies on the loss of your dad. I only met him once or twice, but he seemed like an awesome man.

thinking of you, with love, Barbara-Lynn

sorry for your loss. my thoughts are with you.

Melodi, you will know how much your father meant to me as a mentor, role model and friend. I am so grateful to have had him in my life. He was a gentle, decent man who made a difference. My condolences to your sisters and brother.
My thoughts are with you Darlene. You brought Serge much happiness.

Darlene,

Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear Serge. Time spent on vacation in Hawaii let us see the love and respect you both had for one another; but nothing compares to the sheer look of pride on Serge's face when someone called you Mrs. Kujawa! Your loving care through the years kept him with us all longer than anyone could have dreamed possible. We know that it is a very difficult time for you and you miss him dearly!

Heather and Keith McClinton, Sedley SK

Ivy, Judy, Kim, Mandi, Melissa, Melodi, Pam, Keira, Petra and Kate, Hana. So many memories, driving "up North", singing 'You Are My Sunshine' (me way off key!), 21st Ave., the Waterfall Park. Thinking of you all.

Dear Darlene,

So sorry to hear of Serge's passing. We are thinking of you during this very difficult time. With sympathy,

Shaunalee and Steve Puszkar

Dear Ivy, Judy, Kim and Pam, Mandi, Melodi and Melissa and Serge's beloved granddaughters Kyra, Kate, Petra and Hana: I have many fond memories of being "part of your family" since we met in 1966. Your dad was very proud of his children and grandchildren. Keep your happy memories close at heart. Thinking of you, Bev Molson

Dear Mandi & family, I'm so very sorry to hear of the death of your father. Sending warm thoughts and love to as you gather to remember him. Karen

I had the honour of working with Serge during the years that he served as a Member of the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly, 1991 - 1995. Serge brought so much to the position, his one term will long be remembered by those who worked with or served with him. A true gentleman and one of the sharpest wits I have ever encountered. A true son of Saskatchewan, his legacy will find itself written into the history of this great province. Take Serge!

Serge the nature-lover will be deeply missed. I greatly enjoyed our extended walks and talks in Nelson, appreciating the trees, mountains and lakes. His tremendous sense of communion with the outdoors was infectious, and his insights into the relationship between we small humans and Mother Nature were deep and philosophical. I will miss Serge very much. Scott Ware, Nelson, BC

Dear Darlene
I am so sorry to hear of Serges passing. Have so many fond memories of our get togethers and the wild Yahtzee and Uno games that we played and he so liked to win. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
With love, Janice

Darlene, so sorry to hear of your loss, my deepest sympathies to you.

Dear Darlene.
I am so sorry for your loss and you have my deepest sympathy. What an amazing life Serge lived. He will be missed so much by you and all of his family. Take care

Dear Darlene, so sorry to hear about Serge, he was a lovely person, now he can play cards with Bob and Rick, with love Colleen.

Dear Darlene and the other members of the Kujawa family. My condolences to you all on the passing of one very unique person. I had the pleasure of serving with Serge in the Legislature, and while we didn't agree on every issue, we all sure knew where he stood! He took a principled position and fought for his ideas in a straight forward and honest and upright fashion. Certainly no-one could ever accuse Serge of being underhanded or slippery in any dealings.

The only fault I ever found with Serge was his refusal to let me win at the poker games which were a constant feature of the long nights spent at the caucus office, waiting for the bells to ring for a vote.

I know we all will miss him, his shirtless walks around the lake with his ever sharp eyes spotting the dropped pennies and nickels, his sly and dry humour , and his extremely quick wit and way with a quip.

St. Peter and his entourage had best grab their wallets for Serge is coming to play!

Please accept my condolences for your loss, Darlene. Serge was such an interesting and engaging individual and had such a great sense of humour. May it help to know that others are thinking of you at this time.

Dear Judy--I am so very sorry on the loss of your father. Thx to Elaine for letting me know about it & confirmed by Chelsie & Rachel. Cherish all the memories. LOL Fran

Dear Melody, Melissa and Family,
So sorry to hear about your loss. May God be with you in this difficult time.
