Marek loved fishing. He came to Canada with at least a dozen fishing rods ready for action. He enjoyed Manitoba fishing year-round. His favorite fishing spots included Whiteshell, Lac Du Bonnet, Selkirk, Lockport, Libau, Bisset and many others. He participated in many ice fishing derbies with his friends and family. 

As a family man and provider, Marek was a hard-working man. He arrived in Winnipeg in 1985 and not knowing the English language he started his first job in Winnipeg only 3 weeks after arrival.
