| 101 | Good Morning; My name is Jerry Yacyshen, and Esydor is my cousin, on our mother’s side. On behalf of the family, I would like to say a few words about Esydor’s life. Esydor was born on July 24,1940 in Canora Saskatchewan to Louis Laskowich and Annie Musey, both of Ukrainian Catholic descent. He was the youngest brother to Herman, Audre and Waldemera. Most of his youth was spent in Norquay and Kamsack Saskatchewan and finally settling in Dauphin, Manitoba. In 1955, at the age of 15, with his dad’s assistance, he got a job with CNR as a porter and left Dauphin, Manitoba. He travelled through out Canada for many years, working at different jobs, but mainly focusing on the plumbing and heating industry. In 1968 he met Olga Smutt in Winnepeg, and in 1970, their daughter, Shannon was born. Because of Esydor’s free spirit, the family travelled and worked in many places. In 1974, they lived in Headingley, Manitoba; 1976 took them to Regina, Saskatchewan and in 1991 they settled in Edmonton, Alberta. Unfortunately, in 1998 Olga passed away. While working at Revelstoke in Edmonton, he met Laurele Scott. They were married in St. Albert, in 2000 and he welcomed his three sons into the family. In 2010, Esydor’s health started to deteriorate and in 2017 he retired. Esydor can be best be described as a free spirit, laid back, fun loving, hard working and a caring soul. Ezydor had a very outgoing personality. This was always evident whenever the family attended outside events. He would joke with waitresses, make people feel welcome at family events and encourage people to always put their best foot forward. At work, he would always help his colleagues and would go out of his way to make sure that they were successful, sometimes even at his own expense. He loved to laugh, joke around and people gathered around him to be a part of his joy and wit. Esydor loved all people, but he had a natural gift when dealing with children. This was evident when he held a part time job as a bus driver for disabled children. He would make them laugh, comfort them when thought they were down and make them feel special as individuals. When he retired from this job, the students had a celebration for him as being the most loving and caring bus driver ever. Besides people, Esydor was very fond of animals. Throughout his life he always raised dogs or cats and had a way with them that was special. He was very devoted to his mother and father. They recognized his strengths and encouraged him to pursue his life with love and compassion. Their strong faith was always embedded in Esydor and many times he yearned to return to his catholic upbringing that his parents had always encouraged. One of his last requests was that some of his ashes be placed with his mother and father in Dauphin, Manitoba. Esydor loved life, but most, he loved his family. His wife Laurele, and their three son’s: His daughter Shannon and Edward Sheldon and Kelly Ian and Marilyn Andrew and Brianna and of course his 8 grandchildren, which he loved dearly and was completely devoted to: Jonathan Julianne Emmett Keira Shayna Alexesis Clark Shaelyn Rest in peace Esydor. | Laskowich, Esydor (I155)

| 102 | Helen Theresa Yachyshen was born on November 6, 1931 in the Rama District of Saskatchewan. Daughter of Joseph and Doris (nee Doroshenko) Korchinski. Mom grew up on the family farm near Rama and attended schools in the Bellindean District and Rama. In her early adult years she travelled by train to Winnipeg, Toronto, Buffalo and cherished and shared her adventure with all. On July 15, 1952, Helen was united in marriage to Maurice Yachyshen. Together they started farming and raising a family in the Mainroad District then moved to the Bellindean district and then near Rama. In 1970 the family moved to Yorkton and continued farming. Mom enjoyed the outdoors and loved the sights and scents that the changing seasons had on the lands. Mom was a strong woman and when the floods forced her to move she was determined to rebuild and return to the comfort of her home. Helen’s fondest times were when her household was filled with family, friends, food, music and late night card games. On March 17, 2018 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, Mom was at peace and entered eternal rest. She was predeceased by her husband Maurice, her daughter Alannah (Brenda), her parents Joe and Doris, her brother and sister-in-law, Stan and Marcella and her sister Mary.

| 109 | I have managed to determine that the first of the kin was HRYHORIY STETSIUK (Gregorius Steciuk). He was obviously born at the end of the 18th century. He married Maria (her maiden surname is unknown). They could live in Skala Stara (the building is unknown), and had at least one son – Stephan. | Stetsiuk (Steciuk), Hryhoriy (Gregorius) (I1190)
|
| 110 | I have managed to determine that the first of the kin was VASYL YATSYSHYN (Basilius Jacyszyn). He was obviously born at the end of the 18th century. He married Ahaphia (her maiden surname is unknown). They lived in the building No 6-SS, and had at least 2 children – Mykola and Anna: | Family: Vasyl (Basilius) Yatsyshyn (Jacyszyn) / Ahaphia (F393)
|
| 111 | I should mention that Skala used to be a small town. Except of Ukrainians (Greek Catholics), large communities of Poles (Roman Catholics) and Jews lived there. Poles and Jews had their own religious centres, namely Roman Catholic Church and the synagogue. Ukrainians had three Greek Catholic churches at the beginning of the 18th century. Then only two of them continued to function. They were in the parts of town called “Skala Stara†and “Skala Novaâ€. The Research is done on the base of Greek Catholic Registers from: Ternopil archives: Skala Stara – registrations of births 1847-1923, marriages 1871-1912, deaths 1871-1913. Skala Nova – registrations of births 1864-1913, and marriages 1846-1919. Borschiv Registry Office: Skala Stara – registrations of marriages 1913-1944. Skala Nova – registrations of births 1914-1944, marriages 1920-1944. They wrote the Registers in Latin until 1909; I will write names until that year according to Ukrainian transcription and original names in brackets. I will use letters SS – Skala Stara and SN – Skala Nova to identify residence of families. I should mention there were many factors that formed surnames origin. The main were: 1) father’s name (“Semenivâ€, “Semchyshyn†– a son of Semen; “Hnativâ€, “Hnatyshyn†– a son of Hnat; “Pavlivâ€, “Pavlyshyn†– a son of Pavlo; “Prokopivâ€, “Prokopovych†– a son of Prokip etc.) 2) Occupation (if a man was engaged in tailoring, he had “Kravets†surname (tailor); in shoe-making, sewing – “Shvets’ †(shoemaker); in weaving – “Tkach†(weaver); if he threshed flour in a mill – “Melnyk†(miller) etc.) 3) Outward appearance (“Kryvyy†(lame), “Slipyy†(blind), “Bilyy†(white), “Khudyy†(thin), etc.) 4) Place of birth or living (from Nivra village – “Nivryanskyyâ€, from Lviv – “Lvivskyyâ€). The surnames “Yatsyshyn†and “Stetsiuk†had been formed according to the first factor. So, the male name Yakiv, who could be fondly called Yatsko, was the origin of Yatsyshyn surname. Other surnames can be formed from this name: Yatsiuk, Yatseniuk, Yatskiv etc. The origin of Stetsiuk surname was the male name Stephan; Stetsko is a gentle form of that name. Other surnames such as Stetsko, Stetskyy, Stestkiv etc. are formed from the name. | Family: Vasyl (Basilius) Yatsyshyn (Jacyszyn) / Ahaphia (F393)
|
| 112 | In 1898, Ivan Yatsyshyn with his second wife Anastasia Kovalyshyn and their children Pavlyna and Antin have immigrated to Canada. In the list of immigrants, they wrote that Ivan was 65 (so he was born in 1833), Anastasia was 47, and their children were Pavlyna (18) Kalyna (14) and Antin (9). I should mention that I have not found any birth registration of Kalyna. | Yatsyshyn (Jacyszyn), Ivan (Joannes) (I1095)

| 113 | In 1898, Vasyl Haydamakha with his wife Maria Yatsyshyn and their daughter Anna have immigrated to Canada. | Haydamakha (Hajdamacha), Vasyl (Basilius) (I1133)
|
| 114 | In May of 1927, Anna left Trotz’s and caught a ride to Gilbert Plains where she went to see Sam Shmon. Sam helped Anna find employment at a farmers, Bill Smith, in Grandview. Bill's wife was not a well person so Anna stayed until fall doing household duties as well as milking cows and churning butter. Bill sold the butter and used the money to pay her wages of $12.00 monthly. Bill and his wife went to England so Anna was no longer employed. | Trotz, Anna (I1555)

His engaging smile and inquisitive nature led him to have an extensive and diverse group of friends. He was highly committed to numerous philanthropic and fraternal organizations and always believed in giving back to the community he lived in. Jim had a smile for all he met, a firm handshake, and a story or joke to put a smile on their face as well.

He is survived by his children and grandchildren, Rick (Gail) and Alexander of Calgary and Candice Smart (Zach) of Cincinnati; Rob of Bolton, ON; Brenda Bracken-Warwick (Ken) of Winnipeg; Karen Smee (Doug) and Calum and Moira of Winnipeg; and Bruce (Monica) and Madeline and Colin of Richmond Hill, ON and his sister, Marilyn Hewitt (Bill) of Calgary as well as numerous relations of the Bracken and Kindratsky clans.

After moving to Yorkton he worked for the City of Yorkton and remained in the job until he retired at age 65.

A couple of times a season, friends and family would pick him up to go to wild mushroom picking. Rubber boots in tow - almost always came back with wild mushrooms and wood ticks! Joseph was thrilled when Ron and Debbi became parents to 3 beautiful children; Kyle, Delayne and Riley. Joseph finally became a Gido and was especially excited when he became a Great-Gido to grandson Jack. The grandchildren and great grandchild will always hold their Gido dear to them and treasure the memory of their Gido captured in conversations and priceless photos of special moments on their lives. Joseph always made sure the friends he met on his journey laughed or smiled while spending time with him. He left good marks on the sand of time. Dad, Gido - you will be greatly missed. He will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by his son Ron (Debbi).

| 126 | KACHUR, Mary (nee Lukey, nee Dziaduck) of Canora Gateway Lodge, formerly of Yorkton, passed peacefully to Eternal Rest on Feb. 25, 2022 at the age of 99. She was predeceased by her parents Alec & Lena (Wasylkiw) Dziaduck , first husband Bill Lukey (Norquay), their beloved sons David Bernard Lukey and Cornell Daniel Lukey, and second husband Matt Kachur (Churchbridge). She was also predeceased by all her younger siblings and their spouses: Jean (Steve) Dennis; Anton (Pauline) Dziaduck); Olga (Morris) Haluik; Steve (Betty) Powers-Dziaduck; along with niece Sharon Dennis, nephew Garrett Dziaduck, and great-niece Daphne (Haluik) Schmidt. She is survived by sisters-in-law: Sister Carmela Lukey (SSMI), Nina Korchinski, and Elizabeth Anaka; several nieces and nephews; and her daughter, Phyllis Lukey of Regina. Mary was born in 1922 in the Buchanan area to Ukrainian immigrant parents. She was the eldest of five children. There were many challenges to overcome growing up in the 20's and the 30's including the unexpected passing of her father in 1936. She loved going to school and visiting with the neighbours whenever they could get together. After Gr. 8, she did what she could to help look after the now four younger children including newborn baby brother Steve. She would help her Mom with the garden and the chores and all that went into pioneer life. That included helping her Mom and her Grandparents build a two-room log house that stands to this day. All of this showed her how to be fiercely independent and resourceful throughout her long life. She married Bill Lukey in 1945, after having worked for the Andrew Lukey family for several years. They had a small farm outside of Norquay, while still helping out Bill's father's family. Throughout these years she was steady and steadfast in spirit, overcoming the challenges of basic farm life. She did what needed to be done. Sundays were reserved for rest and for visiting with the relatives who lived in the area. She displayed her courage through Bill's illness and passing in 1970, tragically followed shortly by their son David (1972) and a bit later by Cornell (1977). She moved to Yorkton where she met Matt Kachur and then moved to Churchbridge. She and Matt used to enjoy dancing, camping, fishing, visiting with friends, attending Church in Yorkton, and travelling to Ontario and B.C. to see his sisters. Even trips to The Pas and to Regina were lots of fun for them, although she saw it as her duty to reorganize her daughter's yard and house whenever the opportunity arose while Phyllis was at work! After Matt's passing, Mary moved back to Yorkton in 1995 where she resided independently, doing “her own thing, in her own wayâ€, until failing health forced the move to long term care. Gardening and growing flowers were a passion for her and she could hardly wait until spring arrived so that she could get started on all of that. She loved Ukrainian music, particularly the Christmas Carols, along with the traditions of being Ukrainian Catholic. Christmas and Easter were special times in her household. Her life was long and her deep faith in God helped carry her through. Ð’Ñ–Ñ‡Ð½Ð°Ñ Ð¿Ð°Ð¼'ÑÑ‚ÑŒ Vichnaya Pamyat! Memory Eternal! The family would like to sincerely thank all those who helped Mary through the difficult times in her long life, but especially through the time since January 2020 when she was first resident at Canora Gateway Lodge after swift and significant health complications arose. For those wishing, donations in her memory may be made to the Canora Gateway Lodge Auxiliary. | Dziaduck, Mary (I3094)

| 135 | LUKIY In the Registers, they wrote the surname in Latin as “Lukyj†and “Lukijâ€. In the land documents 1820, they wrote “Lykijowâ€. I will write “Lukijâ€. I have managed to determine that the first of the kin was IVAN LUKIY (Joannes Lukij). He was obviously born at the beginning of the 19th century. He married Martha Yarema (Martha Jarema). I should mention that in birth registrations of her grandchildren, they sometimes wrote her surname as “Vasylynchukâ€. It could be a slip of pen. The building where Ivan and Martha lived is unknown. According to the land documents 1820, 6 Lukiy families lived in Babyntsi at that time: Lukiy Yakym (the building No 8), Lukiy Panteleymon (No 9), Lukiy Theodoziy (No 12), Lukiy Vasyl (No 80), Lukiy Ivan (No 107) and Lukiy Yakiv (No 121).

| 137 | MARKEWICH, William MARKEWICH - At the age of 94 years, William Markewich, beloved husband of Anne Markewich of Norquay, SK passed away at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre on September 8, 2015. SaskToday Sep 17, 2015 11:48 AM MARKEWICH MARKEWICH - At the age of 94 years, William Markewich, beloved husband of Anne Markewich of Norquay, SK passed away at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre on September 8, 2015. William was born on December 11, 1920, in the Norquay District to John and Anastasia (Andrusiak) Markewich. He attended school south of Norquay and completed Grade 11 while helping out on the family farm. After completing his education, he obtained employment with the CN railway in Northern Ontario from 1936-1942. Following this, he enlisted in the army and was stationed outside of Winnipeg. In January 1944, he shipped out and was stationed in England, France, Holland and Germany. He was discharged in the fall of 1946 and returned to Winnipeg and then came home. One of William’s favourite memories was seeing his family again after all of the years he was away. It’s a memory he would never forget. When he drove into the family farm, Paul and Metro came running out to see who had arrived. They stopped in their tracks, as they did not recognize him. They ran back into the house to get their mom. When she came out it brought tears to his eyes and the memory of that happy reunion continued to bring tears to his every time he retold this story. Paul and Metro were sent to get dad from the field as work was done for the day and all the neighbours came over for a celebration. After the war, William courted Anne Olenick and they were married on July 25, 1947 and were blessed with four children: Charles, Jacalyn, Dale and David. They farmed in the Norquay area. William also worked for the RM of Keys and eventually he and Anne even opened up a restaurant. In 1950, William started with the Sask Wheat Pool as a grain buyer and retired from this position in 1983 after 33 years with the company. William loved to fish and every summer he bundled the family up and headed to the lake. He also enjoyed picking mushrooms and berries and was very proud of his braided garlic skeins. He was known to give them out to other fellow garlic lovers. William was actively involved with the church and was a member of the Knights of Columbus as well as the Royal Canadian Legion, Norquay Branch, and a member of the N.I.C.E. Centre where William and Anne spent a few afternoons each week visiting with friends and playing cards. Until the last few weeks, William was active in the community and fortunate to be able to enjoy life to the fullest. He had a great sense of humour and loved to share a joke. This continued even during his recent health issues. When asked if he would change anything if he could live his life over again, he said he wouldn’t change a thing - he had no regrets. He said even though there were hard times, there were many happy times as well. William and Anne loved and welcomed company and loved spending time with their family. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. William was predeceased by his parents, John and Anastasia; his son, Charles; siblings: Steve, Paul, Anne, Mary, Elizabeth and Helen; and in infancy, his granddaughter, Rhiannna Polowich. He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Anne; his daughter, Jacalyn (Brian) Polowich of Norquay and their children: Lindsay (David Haack), Kirsten, Duran, Dylan (Alanna Kazakoff); son, Dale (Janie) and their children: Daniel, Katherine, Juliane and Thomas; son, David (Heather) and their children: Logan and Larissa; grandson, Leslie and his children: Lauren and Andrew and granddaughter, Leanne and her children: Isabelle and Charlie; brothers: Joe, Mike, Nick (Jane), and Metro (Nettie); sisters: Olga (Mike Cherewyk), Sophie (John), and Veronica Sikorski; as well as extended family, Melvin (Helen) Yaganiski, Betty (Steve) Markewich, and Jean (Paul) Markewich.

| 144 | MOROZ, Raymond February 28, 1934 - November 21, 2020 Raymond Moroz of Saskatoon passed away on November 21, 2020 at the age of 86. Raymond was born on February 28, 1934 in a log house west of Wishart, Saskatchewan. He was the second of six sons born to Michael and Doris (nee Wasylenko) Moroz. Raymond attended a one room country school for his grades 1-8 and then attended Wishart High for grades 9 and 10. He then attended St. Joseph's College, a boarding school in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, for his grades 11 and 12. While attending school he also worked hard helping out on the family farm. He learned to work with horses and would help with harrowing, mowing, plowing, disking and binding. Raymond's first ambition after graduating from high school was to join the RCMP. He was accepted for training, but his mother discouraged him to go into the police force. He then decided to attend the University of Saskatchewan and obtained a Science degree with a major in chemistry and biology. Raymond accepted a job at Intercontinental Packers as a Control Chemist. His mentor, Father Hrynchyshyn, saw great potential in Raymond and thought that he was wasting his talent and encouraged him to go into law school. Raymond then entered the College of Law at U of S where he studied contracts, torts and criminal law, but at the end of the year decided that law was not for him. He then took on a job at the University of Saskatchewan as a lab technician in the anatomy department where they studied hardening of the arteries. Raymond also had a great interest in construction, so he decided to enroll himself in Kelsey Institute to study carpentry taking evening classes while he continued to work. It was at this time that Raymond met the love of his life, Patricia Werbisky. They were married on June 9, 1962 at St. George's Cathedral in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. A short time after they were married Raymond entered Education at the U of S and obtained his Bachelor of Education Degree. He got his first teaching job at Holy Cross High School in Saskatoon in 1964. Even though he was a teacher, Raymond enjoyed working in the construction business during the summer months. Throughout the years, Raymond's teaching career took him and his family to Kamsack, Roblin, Manitoba and back to Saskatoon. After 25 years of teaching he retired in June 1994. Raymond was a very proud Ukrainian Catholic and practiced his faith diligently. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus for nearly 50 years. He and Patricia were faithful members of Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church starting from 1956. Raymond was a firm believer that God given talents should be used to help the parish. This belief earned him many volunteer hours at his church helping in many ways. Raymond was a true family man. Together he and Patricia raised 5 children. (Terry, Laura, David, Sharon and Christine). They shared many special moments together as a family. There were always family celebrations in the house for many occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, Easter, New Year's and more. Extended family was very important to Raymond and he made sure that his children had the opportunity to visit their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins on a regular basis. One of his favourite journeys was taking his family to the farm near Wishart, Saskatchewan to visit Baba, Dido, Uncle Gordie, Aunty Elsie and their cousins. Mustus Lake in Meadow Lake Provincial Park was a special place for Raymond to take his family to relax, fish and have some fun enjoying the great outdoors. Since Raymond was a teacher, he was able to take his family on a two-month road trip from Saskatoon to Prince Edward Island twice in his lifetime. They made wonderful memories as they travelled from destination to destination. After Raymond retired, he continued his love for traveling in Canada with Patricia. The beauty of the mountains attracted them to Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise where they would enjoy hiking, sightseeing and sitting by the fire. Raymond was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Doris Moroz; his brother, Eddie; in-laws, Joseph and Catherine Werbisky and brother-in-law Gordon Carson. He will be lovingly remembered and cherished by his wife Patricia, his children; Terry Moroz, Laura (Dominic) Proctor, David (Mara-Lee) Moroz, Sharon (Brock) Blomquist and Christine (Barry) Gaudet, his grandchildren; Sabina (Braden) Paice, Tristan (Kelly) Proctor, Michael Moroz, Erin Blomquist, Sarah Blomquist, Andrew Gaudet and Matthew Gaudet, brothers; Gordon (Elsie) Moroz and Clarence Moroz, sister-in-law Phyllis Carson, and numerous nieces and nephews. Raymond's family would like to thank all the care providers at St. Paul's Hospital for their compassion and care during the last weeks of Raymond's life. Special thank you to the Spiritual Care Team at St. Paul's Hospital who looked after Raymond's spiritual needs. A Celebration of Life will be held for Raymond at a later date due to the current Covid restrictions. Memorial donations in Raymond's memory may be made to the Salvation Army.

| 149 | NELLIE NOVAL Peacefully in the arms of Stan, Ken, Sharon and Roy, we the family announce the passing of Nellie Noval with profound sadness and heavy hearts on December 25, 2004 at the age of 86 years at Kildonan Personal Care Centre. Our prayers were answered that Mom spend one more Christmas with us. Her memory will be cherished by her devoted husband of 63 years, Stanley; son Ken; daughter Sharon (Roy Naurocki); grandchildren, Kristofer, Amanda, Kelly; great-grandson Joshua and goddaughter Florence Swereda. She also leaves to mourn brother Mike Yacyshen and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Marta and Sverko Yacyshen; brothers, John, Metro, William and Peter; sisters, Anne Qwechuk and Lena Antoniuk. Nellie was born on March 5, 1918 in Norquay, SK. Here, Nellie's unconditional love for family, deep religious faith and the Ukrainian culture took roots. This would sustain her throughout her entire life to her final days. Along with her five brothers and two sisters, Nellie attended North Willow Grove School in Norquay where she had many happy memories with her siblings and often shared them with her family in later years. As many young women did at that time, Nellie left the farm and travelled to Winnipeg to seek employment. Nellie's first job as a housekeeper enabled her to save enough for her later career. Nellie graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse from St. Boniface Hospital. Her nursing career allowed her to remain in Winnipeg, where she met many new friends and attended the popular dances at that time. At one of these dances she met a young man who later became her soulmate and devoted loving husband. After dating for a year, Nellie and Stan were married on January 9, 1942, by Fr. Bozyk in St. Anne's Ukrainian Catholic Church. After the birth of her two children, Ken and Sharon, Nellie remained at home to care for her family. Nellie was a wonderful homemaker who loved cooking, sewing, gardening and visiting with their many friends. As Nellie's children grew up she returned to work at the Marlborough Hotel where she made many new friendships. Nellie and Stan shared the love of travel. In early years, frequent visits to Gilbert Plains, Norquay, Banff and Chilliwack were made. In later years, the travel grew. In 1975 Nellie and Stan began their adventure of travel which took them to the Holy Land, later England, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Rome, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Hungary, Egypt, Pompeii, Mediterranean, United States, Mexico, Alaska and all of Canada. In 1992 Nellie, along with her family returned to her roots, Norquay, and the Yacyshen Family reunion. Nellie's deep religious faith was present throughout her life. Her love of the rosary was evident to the moment of her passing. Nellie and Stan attended daily mass at St. Mary's Cathedral, was a member of the Franciscan Friary, a devoted supporter of the Marian Hour, a member of the Catholic Women's League, a Misericordia Hospital Volunteer, and an original March of Dimes Mother. For the last four years, Nellie was a resident at Kildonan Personal Care Centre, where she was treated with gentleness, care, compassion and dignity. The family wishes to thank K.P.C.C., especially the 2nd floor staff who made her final days comforting and peaceful. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, December 29 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Mary's Cathedral, 353 St. Mary Ave. with Rev. Fr. Micheal Koroluk officiating. Private family interment at Assumption Cemetery. Nellie's pallbearers will be her grandchildren, Kristofer, Amanda and Kelly Noval and nephews, Jarvis Swereda, Norman Mikoluff and Terrance Demchuk. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Nellie's memory to the Marian Hour Rosary, Box 235, 971 Corydon Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3M 3S7. Mom, we thank you for everything you gave us, your patience, understanding, your kindness and most of all your unconditional love. We know you are just a thought away. Love never dies. Those that leave us don't go away. They walk beside us day by day. VICHNAYA PAMYAT ETERNAL MEMORY KORBAN FUNERAL CHAPEL 956-2193 As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on Dec 28, 2004 Condolences & Memories (1 entries) Our sympathy goes out to the family because the world has lost a tremendous person.

Nestor Lawrence Kindratsky was born on August 11, 1939, in Canora, Saskatchewan to Joe and Anna (Stusick) Kindratsky. He was the youngest of their eleven children, given the nickname “Pappy†by his oldest brother John. Nestor grew up on the farm north of Stenen and in Canora. After deciding that school was not for him, he worked driving truck for Kay’s Limited, Ball Cartage and A&S Transport before starting at CNR in Melville where he worked for almost 30 years. He was the original commuter, driving daily between Yorkton and Melville. Nestor also enjoyed being a weekend farmer on the Lozinski home quarter. Following his retirement in 1999, Nestor found a part-time job shuttling vehicles for Yorkton Key Chev Olds and Yorkton Toyota. He enjoyed these trips, especially those with Art Gazdewich. After making these trips for over 20 years, he retired again. Nestor had a daily routine of going for coffee first thing in the morning to Sweet Wanders, then coming home to classic T.V. shows and movies with the family dog Boots. On October 9, 1966, Nestor married Ilona Lozinski at St. Thomas Roman Catholic Church. Together, they had three children Karen, Lorie and Robert. As a family, they enjoyed many camping and fishing trips as well as lots of trips out to British Columbia to visit family. In 2005, they were blessed with the first of three granddaughters, Julia followed by Jessica in 2006 and Jenna in 2011. Nestor loved to take in all the activities his granddaughters participated in like curling, dance, flag football and soccer. Nestor would often reminisce about his childhood (burning down the pigpen), his days curling in the Stenen Bonspiel, goose hunting with his cousin, partridge hunting with his brother Ed and son, and fishing at Deschambault Lake, Madge Lake, and Sturgeon Landing. He liked to farm with his son, driving a tractor or combine until the summer of 2022 and supervising from the lawn chair in the shop. Nestor loved to get together with family playing cards 65, rummy, and cribbage. Nestor enjoyed keeping in touch with family and friends through regular phone calls, coffee socializing, family gatherings, especially the family reunion in 2022 and the July 1st pancake breakfast in Stenen. Nestor and Ilona were married for 48 years before Ilona passed away in 2014.
