Abraham William SKORBINSKI

SKORBINSKI, Abraham William It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Abraham William Skorbinski. Abraham William Skorbinski passed away peacefully at Hamilton Memorial Hospital at 7:27 p.m. at the age of 99.

Abraham, beloved husband of Elizabeth and father to Birgitta, Peter, Wouter, Christopher and Clarissa. Grandfather to 16 grandchildren and great-grandfather to 4. Abraham William Skorbinski was born November 13, 1919 to parents Catherine Skorbinski and Alfred Skorbinski in South Africa. He was one of eleven children who joined the military during World War II. Following military service he pursued medical studies completing his degree where he worked in South Africa, Zimbabwe and England before relocating to Canada where he set up a successful medical and surgical practice.

He was a kind, gentle Christian man who was an ardent believer in the word of God, having an immense longing to return to his Father in Heaven. On the night of April 3rd that dream became a reality. We will miss his love, understanding and exemplary faith. Now he is with our Father who art in heaven.
