Mike  Jaczko
Mike Jaczko
1924-2015

Passed away surrounded by his loving family in his 91st year, at Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital on Monday, May 4, 2015. Beloved husband of Irene for 59 years. He will be greatly missed by his son Michael , daughter-in-law Stacey and granddaughters Kate and Kristen. He is survived by his sister Elizabeth Rukajy in Hungary. He was predeceased by his father Paul and mother Maria (Gabancz), sisters Ilona Hajdu and Julia Bodi all in Hungary.
Mike was born in Szegilong, a small rural village of northeastern Hungary in 1924, served time in the Hungarian army in World War II, and then returned to Szegilong to work in the family vineyard. He married Irene in 1956 and subsequently immigrated to Canada during the Hungarian revolution. They settled in Tillsonburg and farmed on Potters Road for over 45 years.
After retiring, Mike spent his time tending to his gardens, his fish pond and puttering in his workshop. He loved chatting with friends and neighbours and most of all spending time with his granddaughters. He was always ready to lend a hand whenever someone needed help.
