A beloved Papa to his grandchildren Katrina, Natalie and Michael Galas, Andrea Gilbert, Vanessa Micallef and five great-grandchildren. Ludwik was born on May 13, 1926 in Zabijka, Poland.
As a boy he lived on a farm until the war began, when he was taken away from his home on March 12th and forced to become a man at age 16.
Because of his bravery and ambition, he escaped a war camp, learned 7 languages, fell in love with the Austrian alps of Tyrol, became a Sergeant in the First French Army and a friend and hunting companion to Charles de Gaulle. War was necessary, but Ludwik preferred peace and he found it in Canada
A private family funeral was held yesterday and Ludwik's name day is today, August 25th.
