The Kowalinski Family says
Dear Dianne, Brenda, Marie, Alberta and families….we are thinking about you all and sending our sincere condolences. Ab was one of a kind! We have so many great memories of him…he would drive by and stop in a for a chat and a joke and was always in great spirits. Our boys knew him as “Popa” too as he always told them to come see him at Halloween and spoiled them with treats. He had such amazing stories and was so fiercely proud of his children, grandchildren and his great grandchildren! He was so welcoming to his home and there was always a smile and a wave when we saw him on the porch or on the lawn tractor. He loved a good prank and we can’t forget the purple stuffed pig on the lawn story. Still makes me laugh so much to this day. He was a character and lived life to the fullest. We are sending you our deepest, hugs and strength today and in the days ahead. Ab may you rest easy dear friend and please give Helen a hug and kiss from us all.
Love the Kowalinski family

Dear Alberta, Diane, Brenda, Marie and extended families
I have known Ab for over 15 years and in those times he has always been a smiling, caring and friendly man, who enjoyed is friends and family with all his heart. His sweet “Blue” sitting on the front lawn with Ab on the front porch would be a joyous site whenever I drove by or wandered over for a visit. He will be dearly missed by his neighbours and friends. May the memories of your Father; Grandfather and Great Grandfather always bring you smiles. He would want it that way. He is always with you, for a father’s love has no bounds and is eternal! My deepest condolences,
Heidi Kreiner-Ley
