Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryROMAN PIECZONKA
With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Roman Pieczonka, aged 91, who died peacefully in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Born in Stalowa Wola, Poland, Roman survived wartime hardships and the loss of his parents before emigrating to Canada, where he built a full life with his beloved wife of 67 years, Helen.
A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Roman worked as a machinist at Manitoba Bridge that became Dominion Bridge for 47 years, earning respect for his precision and dedication. He was a proud Polish-Canadian who actively promoted his heritage through cultural and community involvement, including leadership roles in the Polish Combatants’ Association and coordinating the former Warsaw-Poland Pavilion.
In 2019, he was honoured with the Siberian Exiles Cross by the President of Poland for surviving forced deportation and contributing to the remembrance of those affected.
Roman is survived by his wife Helen; children Giselle (Dan), Tom (Andrea) and Edward (Jennifer); grandchildren Sebastian, Alexandra, Nathanael, Elliot and Emma and extended family and friends across the globe. He was predeceased by his parents, siblings and in-laws.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, August 5 at St. Andrew Bobola RC Church with rosary at 10:30 AM, funeral mass at 11:00 AM, and burial at Holy Ghost Cemetery. Reception to follow at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

We met Roman & Helen in Barbados in 1972 and have kept in touch ever since. Roman was very much a gentleman and a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. May he rest in the peace he so deserved. - Posted by: Allan & Trudy Podruchny (Friends) on: Aug 02, 2025
