Shortly after, they welcomed their daughter Ursula. Stefan came to Canada in 1949 to work in Portage la Prairie. His wife and daughter joined him in 1950. They decided to come to Winnipeg in 1956. In the years to follow, two more children were born, Helen and John. Stefan worked at Misericordia Hospital until his retirement. Dad enjoyed gardening, but he especially enjoyed the time spent fishing with mom. He was also very proud of his grandsons and enjoyed their company and their achievements.
