Josef Zawalnik

ZAWALNIK, JOSEF
Today the world is not as bright because today we start the rest of our journey without a beloved father, proud grandfather and great-grandfather. It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Josef Zawalnik of Burton, NB, on Friday, May 8th, 2015 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital.
Born in Czechoslovakia on December 31st, 1923, he moved to Poland as a young boy and then to Mannheim, Germany. He immigrated to Canada in 1956 where he spent his happiest years. He was predeceased by his wife, Maria.
A wonderful father, he will be greatly missed by his daughter, Wanda (Don Cairns) of New Maryland, NB; two grandsons, Brad (Krista) of Fredericton, NB, and Joe (Heather) of Hanwell, NB; three great grandchildren, Lily, Marley and Coen; and a caring son-in-law, Don.
A special thank you to his friend, John "Art" Boucher for all his kindness.
Josef spent his working career at Oromocto Development Corporation and later at Oromocto Properties Ltd. as a maintenance supervisor. In this capacity he gained the respect of the many people who worked with him. During his working career he met and made many friends in the Oromocto area.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church on Tuesday, May 12th, 2015 at 11:00 am with Fr. Antonio Reyes as celebrant. Interment will be in the St. Vincent de Paul Church Cemetery. For those who wish, donations in Josef's memory can be made to the Oromocto SPCA or a charity of the donor's choice.
