JOHN METRYCKI

Obituary of JOHN METRYCKI

The world has lost a man who loved a good joke and a man who once took apart a snow blower in his wife’s kitchen. Husband to Barbara for 41 years, father to Catherine, brother to Ewa and Danuta (Warsaw, Poland), brother-in-law to Ritchie and uncle to Jason, Katarzyna, Matthew and Barbara, John Metrycki died suddenly and unexpectedly on November 16, 2013 at St. Boniface Hospital after cardiac surgery. Born in Kielce, Poland in 1943, John moved to Canada and graduated from the University of Manitoba in Electrical Engineering. As a Regional Director for Parks Canada, he travelled widely across Canada, most valuing his experiences in northern parks. John enjoyed skiing, tennis, cycling and story-telling, but he most loved his family (especially his family of dogs). He will be remembered for his exceptionally caring nature, often demonstrated by his articulate planning and execution of projects. We will miss him greatly. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, November 21, 2013 at 2:00pm at Mary, Mother of the Church, 85 Kirkbridge Drive.
