Obituary of Lionald Floyd Sikorski

July 23, 1950 - Ituna, Saskatchewan

June 20, 2024 - Calgary, Alberta

 

Lionald Sikorski, beloved husband of Maureen Sikorski, of Calgary, AB, passed away on June 20, 2024, after a courageous battle with pneumonia, at the age of 73 years.

 

He grew up on a farm in the Ituna, SK, area. Family meant everything to Lionald. He was born the eldest of two children, to parents Adolfe and Annie Sikorski, and he was a father of two.

 

Lionald started his career at Spalding Hardware in Calgary where he met his wife, Maureen. A lifetime of work in various industries including trucking, sales, and real estate with companies such as Spalding Hardware, B-Line Trucking and Sales, Atomic Trucking, Sun Gold Cabinets, L’Oreal Canada, Century 21, Realty Executives, and National Concrete Accessories (NCA) were both rewarding and challenging.

 

He loved his BBQ and his sports. It didn’t matter if he was playing sports (football, curling, or golf), or watching them on television, he knew what was going on in all sports. He loved to play sports with his family and friends, and then enjoy a great meal and beverage afterwards.

 

Lionald will be lovingly remembered by his children and extended family. He leaves behind his daughter Leana Ashbacher (Zane) of Turner Valley, AB, and his son Michael Sikorski of Calgary, AB. Also left to mourn his passing are his four lovely grandchildren, Isabella Sikorski, Neena Sikorski, Colton Ashbacher, and Chinook Ashbacher; as well as his sister Christine Klimczak (Don), brothers-in-law, Daniel Ball (Michelle), David Ball (Jody), Glenn Ball (Pat), Keith Ball (Ingrid), and sisters-in-law Colleen Nelson, Elaine Thompson (Ted), and Kathleen Waring (Gavin); along with many nieces and nephews.

 

Lionald was predeceased by his wife of 45 years, Maureen Sikorski (nee Ball), his parents, Adolfe and Annie Sikorski; father and mother-in-law, Frederick and Una Ball; William (Bill) Leontowich, as well as his brother-in-law Ron Nelson.

 

The family wishes to thank all the staff at the High River Hospital and Heartland Retirement Home for their loving care.
