This website is dedicated to my Dad, Eddie Sumecki

Capturing the amazing story of his journey from Poland to the UK during the Second World War, which started when he was just 12 years old.

We have also included some photos, the odd video, his family tree and also, sadly, a page for his funeral.

“Ed, we had 64 wonderful years together, I can't imagine life without you. I will always love you. God bless and keep you until we meet again. Wait for me my love, forever yours, Janet.“

“Dad, I can't believe you have really gone. You led such an amazing life, I really thought you would be around forever. I miss you and will always love you, David.“

“Out grandad was the lovliest, funniest, happiest person we've known growing up. Loved and cherished by all, Eddie was one of a kind. We'll miss him forever. Jake and Beth.“

Eddie’s Story

Dad sometimes told me various stories about his incredible journey from Poland to England. I eventually sat him down and recorded them… and here they are…

Family Tree

This is his family tree – he had two brothers, Peter and Joseph, and Josephine his sister. He married Janet in 1958 and had one son, David (me).
