Obituary for Esydor Laskowich


It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Esydor Laskowich on October 8, 2022, at the age of 82 years

He will forever remain in the hearts of his wife, Laurele; daughter, Shannon (Edward) Nadeau; sons, Sheldon (Kelly), Ian (Marilyn) and Andrew (Brianna) Campbell; his eight grandchildren and sister, Waldemere “Wally” (Peter) Goshulak; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Esydor was predeceased by his parents, Louis and Anne; siblings, Audrey (Harry) Skura and Herman (Stella) Laskowich.

A Funeral Service will be held Saturday, October 29, 2022, at 10 a.m. at Park Memorial Chapel, 9709 – 111 Avenue NW, Edmonton.

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.

Esydor married Olga Smutt. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
