With deep sadness, the family announces the death of Nick Kujawa on October 1. Nick was born in what was then Poland in 1922, and arrived in the St. Walburg district with his family in 1928. He was predeceased by his father Jacob and mother Vera in 1984, and by his siblings Katie, Mary, and Serge. He was also predeceased by his wife Patricia in 2002 which was a particularly devastating loss. He is survived by his son Mark (his wife Pamela and son Randy). Nick took over the family farm from his parents and was a respected steward of his land through its several expansions. He was also a successful Charolais rancher. Examples of his community involvement include serving on the local R.M. board, chairing the Curling Club, actively participating in various work bees, volunteering at the museum, and helping found the local Elks鈥� Club. He remained an active citizen of St. Walburg until his dying days. One sign of his exceptional intellect and mechanical ability: he quickly solved the many mechanical puzzles that friends challenged him with. A man of great physical strength and athleticism, he was as much defined by his strength of character. Dignified, thoughtful and passionate, with impeccable integrity, he was a 鈥減rince of a man鈥�. A celebration of his life will take place at the Elks鈥� Hall in St. Walburg on October 17 commencing at 2 p.m.
