September 16, 1936 ~ March 9, 2013
Miroslav Hejzlar was born September 16, 1936 in Czechoslovakia where he studied and became a professional mechanical engineer. Miro and his wife Hana immigrated to Canada in 1969. After a brief stay in Vancouver they found Gibsons and never left. Miro loved Canada and loved his work.
He lived a happy and vibrant life, enjoying canoeing, hiking in the Rockies and especially downhill skiing. In fact, up until a few weeks before his passing, he could still be found on the Peak to Creek run with Hana in Whistler. Miro was a kind and gentle soul. He made friends wherever he went. Closest to his heart were his friends at work, his neighbours and his ski club friends at the Fireside Lodge in Whistler.
Miro passed away suddenly on March 9, 2013. He is survived by his devoted wife, Hana. Miro was loved by many and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
