He was one of 12 children of Anna and Frantisek Rydzi.  During his studies he joined the soccer team and while on a trip to Italy in 1970 he asked for asylum and later joined his brothers Paul and Emil in Winnipeg. Soon after he started working at CPR where he remained until his retirement in 2006. He loved to travel, soccer, hockey and other sports. He was a proud individual.
