John Stadnicki Obituary

0

STADNICKI, John, known as “Buddy” to his family and friends, at the age of 67, passed away peacefully at the palliative care unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital on July 3rd, 2019, after a five-month battle with gastric cancer. Survived by his wife, Joan Poffenroth, his mother, Isabel, his two sisters: Wanda (Bill), & Barbara, his two daughters, Sarah (Will) and Jean Leggett (Blair), along with his three grandchildren, Andrew, Ryan and Taylor. He now joins his father, Jan, and brother, Michal, in everlasting peace.

Buddy was known for his love of the sport of curling, ever since he fell in love with the sport at the age of 17. He was an avid participant in many Deaf organizations throughout his lifetime and loved working on crossword puzzles and the garden.

A Celebration of Life will be held on September 28, 2019 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Richmond Curling Club, 5540 Hollybridge Way, Richmond, BC, Canada.

Interment will follow at a later date near his father and brother in Eagle Valley and District Cemetery, Sicamous, BC. 

Thank you

Kickstart is very excited to be hosting a free public group reading of the book The War of Artby Steven Pressfield.

In this powerful, straight-from-the-hip examination of the internal obstacles to success, best selling auther Steven Pressfield shows readers how to identify, defeat, and unlock the inner barriers to creativity. The War of Art is an inspirational, funny, well-aimed kick in the pants guaranteed to galvanize every would-be artist, visionary, or entrepreneur.

“As I closedThe War of Art, I felt a surge of positive calm. I now know I can win this war. And if I can, so can you.” – From the forward by Robert McKee, screenwriting guru

This is a great opportunity for artists to gather together, with other like-minded creative people with disabilities, to read together, out loud, this motivational book together.
