Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • Hi Opa (Pa-pa) I miss you so much. I always wish you could have been around a lot longer in my life, but I’m happy for the time I got and all Of the things you taught me in that short time. I try to implicate those things with my own two boys, who I know you would adore. They are extremely funny little “fotzolas” and I know you would be very proud of them. Jase is very smart and loves fishing and sports of all kind, especially hockey. Travis is very funny and fearless, and I'm sure you would teach him to say things he probably shouldn’t, just like you did me! My husband is a very hard worker, and I know you and he would have gotten along famously. And me? I followed your steps in becoming a life insurance advisor for RBC. I keep the photo of you during your reign in my office. Anyways Opa, I hope you are proud of the family and the legacy you left behind. We love you and miss you. And happy birthday! - Posted by: Erika McGee (Grand Daughter) on: Mar 16, 2025

  • Hi again Dad. I cannot believe it has been 13 years now. So many things have changed in our family. I am sure you are not impressed with all these changes. I hope Dad, that you are looking after all my dogs and Tasha until I can join you in Heaven. I hope you save some big fish for me to catch. You would be very proud of Erika and I am sure you would love our new rottweiler, Lexie...she is getting on too and you will see her soon. I am so sorry Dad, that all these bad things are happening. Please help your son, Fred, to get better or perhaps you can speak to our higher power to help him live a normal life and be happy. I am sorry I have not been very happy much. Imagine Oma..I am sure she is the most depressed as our whole family has dispersed. Please give us some signs to keep the peace and be a whole family again. I miss you lots and lots Dad, and I hope you saw Penny come over the rainbow bridge recently and are taking care of her. She was Oma's favourite. Lots of love and hope to see the healing light of the holy spirit surround our whole family. - Posted by: Brenda Ezinicki (Daughter) on: Jul 24, 2014

  • Hi Dad! Just wanted to take the time to tell you how much I really miss you. It is so hard to believe that you have been gone for almost four years. So many things have changed since then. You would really like our new shepherd, Berlin. You would have fun playing with her. You would also love to come to our cottage and come fishing with us. Anyways, I still miss you very much although I know you are always watching over us and someday we will see each other again. Love always, Your daughter, Brenda - Posted by: brenda Ezinicki (Family) on: Feb 03, 2005
