Jankowski, L. Col. Father Edward

Passed away Monday, July 14, 2025, in his 96th year. Predeceased by mother Anna (The 5 foot giant), brothers Al, Tony, Ben, Lou and John. Biological father Bronislaw. Survived by nephews Michael, Lou, John, Len, Ryan and Bill, nieces Bonnie, Esther, Brenda and Cathy, many grand-nieces, nephews, cousins Anna, Maria and Roman in Poland.

From humble beginnings in Winnipeg, Fr. Ed was in his 70th year as a Catholic priest with churches and the Canadian Military in Germany and Canada. (Mainly St. Joseph’s in Grimsby and St. Helen’s in Beamsville.) He became fluent in English, French, German and Polish and enjoyed people, fine dining and wine. He gave all thanks to the selfless sacrifices of mother, Anna, for without her unshakable trust in divine providence, inner strength and iron will – none of this could have happened.
