Milan "
Mike"
Wenceslas
(June 24, 1928-June 7, 2008)
Milan died peacefully at Saint_Joseph's Health Centre after a brief
illness. Much loved husband of Beverley. Proud father of Peter
and John, their wives Kimberly
SAINT_DENIS and Vivian
CHEUNG.
Cherished
grandpa of Justin and Kaitlin, Kristofer and Audrey. Dear brother
of Lubomir (Brigita) and uncle of Charles (Dita) and Dudy (Zuzana),
great-uncle of Dominik and Celestina. Milan will be greatly missed
by members of the extended Jenkins family, his relatives and
Friends in the Czech Republic and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
Predeceased by his parents Frantiska and Ferdinand. Milan spent
his early years in the village of Stramberk, Czechoslovakia and
in Prague. In 1946, he journeyed to England where he studied
textile engineering. Milan planned to return to Czechoslovakia
to become involved in his father's clothing manufacturing business
however, due to the political situation at the time he followed
his father and brother to Toronto in 1951. He was subsequently
employed by the Robert Simpson Company, Sears Canada and Triton
Industries. Always an avid tennis player, Milan's retirement
in 1988 enabled him to spend many more happy hours on the courts
at the Boulevard Club. Funeral Service will be held at Turner and
Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W., Etobicoke (between
Kipling and Islington Aves.) on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at 1 o'clock,
with visitation from 12: 00-1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to Sleeping Children Around the World, The Alzheimer
Society of Ontario or The Canadian Diabetes Association. Special
thanks to the staff at Lakeshore Lodge 2N, for their care and
kindness to Milan this past year.
