Obituary for
Tadeusz « Tad » Mikulski
Tadeusz “Tad” Mikulski, 84 of Edmonton, passed away on January 16, 2020 in Edmonton.
Tad was born to parents Genowefa and Czesław on October 28, 1936 in Garwolin, Poland. Tad had an adventurous spirit, unrelenting determination, and hunger for knowledge. After graduating from the Warsaw Polytechnic with the Master of Science in Civil Engineering he spent the first 10 years of his career designing and overseeing municipal transportation projects in Poland. After completing African studies at the University of Warsaw, he joined POLSERVICE Foreign Trade Enterprise as Export Manager responsible for licensing technologies and consulting services. He was the posted to Tripoli, Libya to work with Ministry of Municipalities overseeing urban planning, roads design and related tenders. Subsequently, he was sent to work at POLSERVICE’s joint venture METALEXPORT in Leceister, England. Introduction of Marshall law in Poland spurred a big change for the family. In May of 1983 they moved from England to Edmonton. Tad briefly worked with Alberta Transportation; but, with the economic downturn was forced to make career changes. These included working as an Insurance Agent, a Broker and starting his own firm to export Canadian prefabricated homes technology to Poland and Germany.
Tad spoke 5 languages, enjoyed international travel, being active and sports: hiking in the mountains, playing tennis, and discussions about current affairs with friends while sharing a belt of scotch. He never stopped learning. Stoic, dignified, and a man of few words until a topic of passion would have him capture the stage. He was indifferent to opinions of him by others but generous with help and compassion to those in need.
Tad is survived by his wife, Irena; daughter, Aggie and her husband, Ron Glen. He is preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Wojtek.
The family wishes to express great appreciation to all the physicians, nurses and staff that provided care to Tad over his long Alzheimers journey. And, a great big thank you to all who have reached out to them during this difficult time.
