Ignacy was born in Poland just before the start of WWII, where he worked as a tailor and in the mine. In 1978, he gave up his dream of owning his own tailor shop and moved with his family to Canada to start a new life. He worked hard his whole life and devoted his time to his family, gardening and renovating. He enjoyed large family gatherings and parties with friends.
