Kazimierz “Casey” Zigmundt Kaczynski
Casey’s family announces his peaceful passing at home surrounded by the love of his family on February 20
Casey was the cherished husband of Kathie (Kathryn Dowden) with whom he shared 52 years and who was his steadfast partner and support
Andrew Kaczynski and Erin Laughter of Columbia
South Carolina and Sarah and Scott Morrison of Woodstock
He will be remembered by his brother and sister-in-law
his parents and his older brother immigrated to Canada in June 1954
They settled in Orillia where Casey enjoyed swimming and gymnastics
worked at the bowling alley and with an uncle in house renovation
thus gaining the skills to build a new home for his parents
He attended university in Waterloo for two years
fortunately long enough to meet his future wife
living for a brief time in Kitchener and Chatham
and moving to Woodstock in 1983 where they raised their children.
Memories of Casey will be his passion and his love for his family
He spent hours at baseball practice with Andy and was always on hand to take Sarah to the arena for skating
orchestra or The Cocktails a cappella group
he would always cheer proudly for his grandchildren
Casey was a true "Jack of all trades” who took pleasure in tinkering in the garage
teaching others ‘how to’ and cooking delicious meals
His hands-on approach was appreciated by so many.
After 3 years of dialysis and a life-changing kidney transplant
Casey had four years filled with activities he enjoyed and special times with his family
only to be diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis formerly known as Lou Gehrig's disease) seven months ago.
and friends and neighbours for their support and caring
