This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Jan Wojcik, 92, born on January 20, 1919 and passed away on January 2, 2012. We will remember him forever.

Jan Wojcik was born in Poland, but after the war lived and stayed in Derby. He was born on Monday 20th January 1919 and sadly passed away on Monday 02nd January 2012.

He is much loved and will be missed dearly by his friends and family.

He lived a long life (92 years) with his Lovely Wife Iris and helped her bring up 7 lovely children, Ray (oldest), Sylvia, Alan, Janet, Jan, Tracy and Maria (youngest).

On 23rd June 1989 Iris sadly passed away at the age 59. By then they had grown up but still Jan brought them up and had a great long life with them that will never be forgotten. He would always talk about Iris, and his young life (at war) and would always help people out with anything.

He will always be missed, loved, thought, and spoke about. He was so strong for everything he did even up to the last minute.

if you want to leave a message/tribute, please, help yourself. Thank you.

R.I.P. Jan Wojcik <3

Miss you so much Dad, although Andy is so much like you only taller…
I miss your cheeky grin and even your grumpiness although Andy has more of that than you sometimes.
I really want to think you and Mom have found each other I’d give anything to be young in bed at home and I could just imagine Mom saying “oh Jonny not now” coming loud and clear through the walls at night haha. So many great memories and awesome times. Miss you all.xxxxxxxxx

It's your birthday today dad and you've been on my mind. I went to my granddaughters birthday party, you'd have loved it, and her.
Her names Ellie and I know you'd be as besotted with
her as I am. You may not be here with us to share the moment but you're always on my mind and in my heart. Love you dad xxxx

Dad, we miss you more than any of us thought possible.
We would listen to your stories over and over, sometimes giving an onward groan.
I remember them all but would gladly listen to them again, over and over again!
Just to listen to you and your great accent
I miss Mum so much too!
The self sacrifice of you both for us was immeasurable ‍‍
Thank you both for all your support, guidance and love
Dad,Mum & Ray, Sylvia & John
I love you all

Another year without you dad.
It's been such a tough time.
We've lost so many of our family recently, Sylvia, Ray and John.
It's time like this that we need your strength.
We love and miss you dad.
We were so very lucky, we had the best mum and dad a person could wish for.
Sending you all our love ❤️

Remembering your birthday Dad.
I took some flowers to you and mum on your birthday.
Me and Mick said we were lucky to have you both as friends and parents.
You'd be so proud of us all.... We're all still looking after each other. Some of us are struggling, some are poorly but we're here for each other.
Love you Dad xxxxxxx

Dad, I still smile when ever one of your sayings come out, I still smile whenever I see your big toothless grin on a picture of you some with your medals but most without them.
I miss our silly talks & miss your musings about your life, mainly about Mom & many about the younger you.
I wish we could have talked more before you were cruly taken before our convocations finished, maybe we will finish them another time, I can only hope so.
My Dad a man to admire.xxxx

Another year without you. But I can honestly say, you're thought about every day.
Some days bring sorrow and some bring smiles but every day brings back memories of how lucky I was to have you for my dad.

Today would have been your birthday Dad.

When you were still here with us, we would all gather around you at the club. You would love to sit there listening to us chatter and reminisce about our childhood.

I sit here remembering you chasing butterflies in the garden, Thursday night was always chocolate night, but you had to be quick or else you were left with the Twix or Mars Bar. 

I think about you with a smile today, you were a great dad.
Love you always ♥

Sometimes those memories make us sad but mostly they make us smile.
I love and miss you dad. I miss your strength and knowing you were always there for me, my pillar of strength and love ♥

Hi Dad, I hope Ray is with you and Mom?
I wish we had just one phone call a year to share news with you, maybe you already know it all but it would give us a chance to hear your voices again. Miss you all so much. Love Tracy, Andy, Aaron, Jenny & Ruairidh.xxxxxxx

95th Birthday

January 20, 2014

Today you would have been 95, we thought you were going to live forever, your stories were amazing of your long life a few with a grin on your face. I miss our talks setting the world to right & how much you love Mum, you said she was strong willed & that she was beautiful & you were proud to call her your wife. There are too many stories about you to share but most of the family will remember you getting new long johns for your birthday & putting them on in the Kingfisher pub, we all laughed & were used to you doing the unexpected. Love & Miss you Dad. Tracy.xxxx
