MR. JERRY JOSEPH KUBIK, beloved husband of Mrs. Mary Kubik, of Lethbridge, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 22, 2010 at the age of 95 years. Besides his loving wife Mary, he is survived by his sons Jerry (Dianne) and Richard (Susan), daughters Vera (Bill) and Mary, daughters-in-law Wendy and Brenda, grandchildren; Natasha (Cam), Ben (Tara), David (betrothed to Corrine), Sam, Brian, Thea, Jeff, Dan and Phyllis (Bill), great granddaughters Rosie and Katie McDougald, his special niece Teresa Sava, his lifelong friend and playmate, sister-in-law Josephine Kubik and numerous nieces and nephews. Jerry also leaves a special family at adapta-care, Laurel, Kim and all the staff and residents who made Dad’s last years special. He was predeceased by his son Jack, his parents and all of his siblings. Jerry was born in 1915 and immigrated to Canada in 1927 with his brothers Frank, Paul, Martin and Emil, sisters Mary and Theresa and their families. They settled in Raymond and then moved to Iron Springs several years later. On November 29, 1939 he married the love of his life, Mary Zachar and they recently celebrated their 71st anniversary, even though Dad was in the hospital on that special day. Jerry was a restless soul who loved challenges. He farmed at Picture Butte, Turin at Cameron Ranch, then briefly retired to Lethbridge before buying a farm in Wrentham. Another semi-retirement followed to an acreage east of Lethbridge. Here he was able to enjoy hobbies like carpentry, fishing and planting trees and still enjoy his passion, farming. They travelled extensively to Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Europe, the United States, and Canada and had great fishing trips to Northern B.C., especially to the Queen Charlotte Islands. The family would like to thank Dr. Leam and the staff on the 4th floor of the Chinook Regional Hospital and Mr. John McGinty from the church for communion on Sundays.
