Joe GRIGAS: a 'natural soldier'
'International Joe' had a love of travel, a love of action and the respect of his Friends.
By Jael WONG, and Peter GEIGEN- MILLER, Free Press Reporter
Before he died, Joseph (International Joe) GRIGAS had his favourite dish -- sardines. The decorated war veteran developed a liking for the fish more than 60 years ago after he was taken prisoner during the Spanish Civil War.
He and his fellow prisoners -- 150 Americans in all -- were given nothing to eat for 13 months but sardines and beans.
"Joe was a survivor, so Joe learned to like sardines and beans and he ate them with relish. For the rest of his life, sardines and beans were his favourite dishes," said retired Capt. Robert WALSH.
He met GRIGAS two years ago through the Royal Canadian Regiment Association.
GRIGAS -- dubbed International Joe because he had been to many countries -- died March 8 at Parkwood Hospital in London at age An American, he fought in the Second World War as part of the London-based Royal Canadian Regiment.
He was awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal -- one level below the Victoria Cross -- for leading a group of soldiers in capturing two enemy machine-gun nests in Sicily in 1943.
But no one at the Royal Canadian Regiment knew what happened to GRIGAS for 58 years after the war and it was thought he was dead. In fact, there's a gold brick at the Royal Canadian Regiment Museum in London in his memory, said Capt. Duncan McMILLAN.
So McMILLAN was intrigued when he learned GRIGAS was in a veterans' shelter in the United States and wanted to come back to Canada.
McMILLAN and two veterans went to see GRIGAS on Veterans' Day in 2000 and confirmed his identity. The Royal Canadian Regiment arranged to have GRIGAS moved to Parkwood Hospital in June 2003, where he lived for the past two years.
A native of Worcester, Massachusetts., with Lithuanian roots, GRIGAS was "a natural soldier at heart," said WALSH, going wherever the action was.
"He liked to travel a lot and he liked adventure and when he didn't have that, he didn't have much of a life."
Tara O'CONNOR, who befriended GRIGAS at the Worcester veterans shelter in 1994, said he lived a vagabond existence, spending most of the year "in the weeds," a term explained as "anywhere you lay your head at night."
Once age finally caught up with GRIGAS, O'CONNOR helped him find an apartment in a complex for the elderly.
It was not an easy adjustment.
"He wouldn't sleep in his new bed, telling me it was too civilized," said O'CONNOR. "And on more than one occasion, I found him cooking a can of beans directly on the electric stove top."
After his release from the Spanish prison camp in 1939, he returned to the U.S., but didn't stay long. In 1940, he went to Montreal to enlist in the Canadian Army because the U.S. was not yet involved in the Second World War. He joined Canadian troops in England.
He served until he was injured in 1944 and returned to the U.S. For the next 50 years, he worked at odd jobs.
GRIGAS never married and didn't make Friends easily.
"But once he accepted you as a friend, he was a very good friend," said WALSH.
McMILLAN agrees, noting he has heard praises for GRIGAS's character from veterans of the Spanish Civil War.
"When he was held in captivity by the Nationalists, by the Fascists, he was regarded as someone who was trustworthy," said McMILLAN. "You didn't have to watch your back with him."

MORRISSEY, Hon. Martin Thomas Joseph
Of London, Ontario, passed away peacefully on October 16, 2005, with his family at his side at the age of 84. Martin is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Mary Kathleen MORRISSEY (nee CROCKER,) daughter Theresa and husband Stephen JARRETT, daughter Elizabeth and husband David BLACK, son Paul and wife Mary▼ Jo,▼ and daughter Deidre and husband Malcolm RUDDOCK. He is survived by two sisters, Josephine BRESNAHAN (Barry's▼ Bay▼) and Bernadette BELANGER (Hamilton.) Martin is predeceased by his parents, Elizabeth Agnes (née O'CONNOR) and Martin Lawrence, and siblings, Leonard, Irene, Jimmy, and Rose. Grandpa will be sadly missed by grandchildren Adam, Michael, and Peter JARRETT; Jennifer▼ and John BLACK; Patrick, Joseph, Brendan,▼ James,▼ John, Peter, and Luke MORRISSEY; and Callum and Emma RUDDOCK. He will also be missed by his large extended family who were always in his thoughts and prayers. Born August 29, 1921, in Madawaska, Ontario, Martin was the youngest of seven. Because his father died before his birth, Martin and his siblings looked to eldest brother Leonard to help their mother manage the farm. Martin's childhood was filled with hard work and laughter, and the simple pleasures of the Madawaska Valley. Martin enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941; upon discharge in 1945, he enrolled at Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the Ontario Bar in 1949. Martin was employed at the Toronto firm of Slaght, Ferguson, Boland and Slaght, then in 1950 moved to London, joining the firm of Little Calder, which became Little, Morrissey, Gillespie and Reeves. There his practice was focused primarily on municipal and education law, as well as civil litigation and solicitors' work. Martin was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1974 and served as President of the Middlesex Bar Association (1975). In 1980 Martin was appointed to the Bench, serving the Peel Region in the County and District Court of Ontario and subsequently the Ontario Court (General Division) until 1994. Martin served his community through many organizations, including Clarkson Community Volunteers (1993-01), Credit Valley Hospital (Board of Directors, 1981-84), St. Leonard's House (Board of Directors, 1972-74), St. Leonard's Society of Canada (1972-75), House of Providence for Senior Citizens (Marian Villa) (Board Chair, 1960-62), Irish Benevolent Society (President, 1959-60), Canadian Federation of Newman Clubs (Vice President 1949-50), Knights of Columbus (Member, Fourth Degree), and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ontario (London Chapter) and Ontario Credit Union League (Honorary Solicitor). In 2001 Martin and Mary returned to London to be closer to family and Cedar Shadows, the Port Franks cottage that is a cherished legacy for his family. Martin was singularly proud of his family, from his wife's artistic talents and his children's professional accomplishments, to his grandchildren's educational and sports achievements, and his family is so proud of what Martin accomplished through hard work and determination. Visitation will be held at James A. Harris Funeral Home, 220 St. James St. at Richmond, London, on Thursday, October 20 from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. The funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Michael's Church, 515 Cheapside St. at Maitland, London, on Friday, October 21 at 11 a.m. (private interment). Parish Prayers will be held in the funeral home on Thursday at 3 p.m. Thanks to all who have supported Martin and his family over the last three years, particularly Dr. SWIFT and the staff in the Palliative Care Unit at London Health Sciences Centre, the staff at the Adam Linton Dialysis Unit, the staff at the London Regional Cancer Centre, and the Cancer Society volunteer drivers; also, we want to thank all of the caring St. Elizabeth nurses and personal support workers (particularly Sam, Bob, Nick, and Mike), and the staff of Sir Adam Beck Condominium. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to Sisters of Saint Joseph Hospitality Centre, 707 Dundas Street, London, Ontario N5W 2Z5, or the Canadian Cancer Society.

Walter (Wladyslaw) JAGIELLICZ
By Ludmila JAGIELLICZ and Alice O'CONNOR, Monday, September 19, 2005, Page A18
Veteran, friend, car lover, family man. Born April 6, 1922, in Dobrowody, Poland. Died March 27 in Toronto of complications from vascular disease, aged 82.
A black devil with a red-forked tongue sent fear into the hearts of villagers as he roared by. In reality, the devil was a dark-clad motorcyclist with a red scarf flapping in the wind. Motor vehicles had come to Dobrowody, a quiet village in the eastern territories of Poland (now Ukraine), where Walter was born.
There would be many modes of transport in Walter's life. In February, 1941, when Stalin's troops stormed into the village, Walter and his family were crammed into freezing trains and deported to Siberian logging camps. In the spring run-off, buoyed by supplies of vodka, Walter drove logs downriver to the Russian Arctic port of Archangelsk, breaking up the perilous logjams.
Then Stalin released the Poles to form a Polish army. Walter's family was once again thrust on trains that puffed their interminable way down the spine of Russia into the "stans: " Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and so on. Hunger and disease claimed untold lives. The trek continued across Middle Eastern seas as Polish youth were assembled into an army.
Water travel was never very popular with Walter. The Siberian river journey, a brother who drowned, over-packed refugee- and troop-ships -- all made Walter uneasy about water.
It was in the Middle East army training camps that Walter's love affair with motorized vehicles began. He was taught to drive. He was so good at it that he taught other soldiers to drive -- jeeps, trucks and tanks. Driving was to be a passion for the rest of his life.
Later, during the battle of Monte Cassino in Italy, there was ammunition to be delivered, but army vehicles blocked a narrow road. So, Walter broke a path through the road's stone walls with his supply-laden truck, and freed another logjam.
After the Second World War ended, Walter hit the rolling seas again. Arriving in England, he rejoined his family and married Gena MacHOWSKI, who had already caught his eye in Dobrowody.
Crossing the stormy Atlantic in the spring of 1952, he and his family finally settled in Toronto. Luckily, later cross-Atlantic trips were to be by airplane.
It was in Canada in the 1950s that Walter's passion for automobiles translated into an avocation. Working in the booming Toronto auto trade -- at City Buick, Parkwood Central and other dealerships Walter was widely known for his "sharp pencil" as he appraised the value of auto trade-ins.
Walter applied his passion for cars to good service. There were frequent family car trips and constant chauffeuring. Walter also became an avid volunteer for veteran and church groups. He used his car to fetch and carry, to attend and chair, meetings, to carry veterans' flags on Remembrance Day and to drive dignitaries. Walter's volunteer efforts were recognized with numerous commendations and the Golden Jubilee medal of Queen Elizabeth II.
Walter only retired when he was 80. The modes of transport that finally failed Walter were his legs. Arthritis and vascular problems escalated when he turned 80, culminating in cholesterol emboli that destroyed his foot tissue. Just prior to his final illness, Walter proudly passed his driver's test at 82.
Walter passed away on March 27, Easter Sunday. A few days later, Walter's beloved Pope John Paul II also died. Walter had been Karol WOJTYLA's volunteer driver on visits to southern Ontario when the pontiff was still a Cardinal. Perhaps Walter has taken up that role again.
Ludmila and Alice are Walter's daughters.
