Passed away peacefully after a short illness on April 22nd at Lakeridge Health, Oshawa, surrounded by the love of his family.

Mitch was the devoted husband of Eugenia for 65 cherished years. Loving father of Jerry (Jerzy) and his wife Zofia, and Derek and his wife Ann. Proud grandfather of Tricia Soal and her husband Geoff, Sarah Light and her husband Alex, Michelle, and Eric. Adored great-grandfather of Thomas, Max, Lilah, Freddie, and Lucas.

He is survived by his sister Teresa and her late husband Michal in Poland. Mitch will be lovingly remembered by many extended family members and friends whose lives he touched with kindness and generosity.

Before coming to Canada, Mitch was a road construction project manager in Poland. Here, he worked for Wegu Canada Inc. until his retirement. Mitch had a deep love for gardening—particularly for his prized beefsteak tomatoes. Each season, he carefully nurtured them, often building a greenhouse just to ensure they could thrive early and last well into the season.

He found great joy in family gatherings and took immense pride in everything he owned—especially his car, which was always spotless. Mitch was the kind of man who would drop everything to lend a hand, whether to a friend, a neighbour, or even a stranger in need.

A longtime and faithful member of St. Hedwig’s Polish Catholic Church, Mitch’s quiet strength, generous heart, and unwavering devotion to his loved ones will be deeply missed.

Visitation will be at Armstrong Funeral Home on Sunday April 27th from 6-8 pm with prayers at 7 pm. A funeral mass will be held at St. Hedwig’s Polish Catholic Church on Monday April 28th at 10:30 am. Followed by interment at Resurrection Cemetery.
