Short bioWalenty was Joseph Lasica‘s first cousin once removed (so his children are Joseph Lasica’s second cousins). Walenty was so named because he was born on Valentine’s Day. (Walek was the short form of his name in Polish.) Most of the relatives on this side of the Atlantic, such as Stella Lasica, never met him; he never visited Canada or the United States. Stella believes that Valentine worked for a time in Germany or Austria on a work permit. Walenty was born in Spie but he and his family settled in Nebrowo Wielkie, southwest of Kwidzyn, in northern Poland.
