Steve Tomek passed away Thursday, September 26, 2024 with family by his side after a long battle with cancer.
Born in a small town of Szób located in Northern Hungary, along the banks of the Danube River, nestled in forested hills, Steve was the oldest of four. In his youth, he served his mandatory two years in the army, after which he traveled to Finland where he discovered a different way of life that appealed to him.
Later he traveled to Austria where he entered the refuge encampment where he found work, met Katalin, and many of what would be lifelong friends. Katalin and Steve married and soon after they headed to Canada, landing in Montral, where they took the train to Calgary. There they started a new life and where they welcomed their only son.
Steve liked to woodwork, gardening his prized roses, and in his retirement, oil painting. He worked 40 years in mining, and oil and gas as a welder and later as a helicopter co-pilot pipeline inspector. He was also an innovator and inventor. There are many inventions that he had penned that have become industry standards.
He loved nature so much that during his retirement years he moved from Calgary to Castlegar in beautiful British Columbia. He was a traveler, and explorer taking his woodwork-customized camper van all over to discover every town he came across.
He will be missed by all who knew him, with his smile, warm kind greetings, and thoughtful helping hand.
