Jerzy Kisielewski had a life that spanned the globe and touched numerous lives. After being born on December 23, 1950, in Olesno, Poland, Jurek later spent his formative years in Opole, Poland, where he excelled in numerous sports and completed his studies. Eventually, he emigrated to Austria and then South Africa where he met his wife, Bo\u017cena, and where his son Dominic was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, with his family, Jurek moved to Canada and eventually found his way to Houston, Texas where he immediately became a strong part of the Polish Community, making too many friends to name individually and being known with Bo\u017cena to host a yearly New Year\u2019s party at his house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an individual, Jurek was an avid sportsman, who could be found skiing on any slope or scuba diving in any ocean. He was also a man of knowledge being well-versed in music, history, cultures, and current events with the uncanny ability to select the perfect wine for any occasion. Finally, in his professional life, he was known as an excellent engineer who was able to tackle the most difficult projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But most importantly, he was a caring father to Dominic, a loyal husband to Bo\u017cena, and a joyful friend to numerous individuals. Although no longer with us, Jurek\u2019s presence will still be felt by the numerous people that he touched in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
