Obituary of Peter Goshulak

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Peter Goshulak on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at the age of 93. He passed peacefully surrounded by his family. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather had four favorite things in life: family and friends, church and community, summers at the family cottage at Clear Lake and competing with his golfing buddies in the annual Tamarack Golf Tournament. We will be forever grateful that our parents taught us the core values of integrity, hard work, self-confidence, responsibility, giving back to the community, and spirituality.

He was born on July 15, 1929, in Dauphin, Manitoba to Howard Goshulak and Malancka (Millie) Trache. Growing up, Dad’s life was not without difficulties. His father passed away when he was five, and his widowed mother raised him and his three other siblings on her own. He graduated from Little's Business College and worked with the Manitoba Department of Justice for 47-years. Dad was well-known and respected by his peers, police officers and claimants during his career as Senior Magistrate and Justice of Peace in the Brandon Judicial District, and Hearing Officer for Small Claims in the South West District.

Dad met Mom at the Ukrainian Catholic Church Youth Club, and they married in 1953. They had four children within a span of nine years, and moved from Dauphin to Brandon in 1968. Dad was an active member of the Catholic Church where he enjoyed discussing Father John's homilies with him after Mass either seriously or with some funny anecdote! He was a lifelong member of the Knights of Columbus, and was appointed Sir Knight (Fourth Degree), after serving as Grand Knight (First Degree) in both the Dauphin and Brandon Councils, and Faithful Navigator (Third Degree).

After retirement, our parents wintered with friends in Arizona and then Osoyoos, BC and held cherished memories of special vacations to Rome (Vatican), and family gatherings in Florida (Disney World) and Hawaii (Kauai).

Dad was preceded in death by his parents and by his siblings, Walter, Mary and Alexander. He is survived by his loving wife of sixty-nine years, Waldemera “Wally” (nee Laskowich), and their four children Theresa (Ken) of Calgary, Judi (Dawn) of Brandon, Howard of Victoria and Michele (Jaime) of Ottawa, twelve grandchildren, Greg, Laura (Antoine), Jason (Flora), Eric (Lisa), Kylie, Jackie (Howie), David (Carol), Jordan, Kirstin, Laure (Sarah), Wels, and Anthony (Caitlin),and ten great grandchildren, Isabelle, Josephine, Vivienne, Sophie, Matthew, John, Elin, Joe, Eléonore and Catherine.

We will forever cherish our special memories and the wonderful legacy he left behind.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Augustine of Canterbury Church, 327 4th Street, Brandon on Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. with Father John Okosun as celebrant. A private family interment will take place at the Brandon Cemetery Columbarium.

The family extends a very special thank you to Doctors Fourie and Razzaghi and the nurses and staff of the Palliative Care Unit at Brandon Regional Health Centre. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please consider a donation the Brandon Regional Health Centre Foundation “Palliative Care”, 150 McTavish Avenue East, Brandon, MB, R7A 2B3, or the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, 120 Donald Street., Winnipeg, MB, R3C 4G2.

25TH SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR
ANNA AND LOUIE LASKOWICH

KAMSACK, SASKATCHEWAN
On November 28, 1948 in the parish hall at the Church of Holy St. Jehoshaphat (St. Josaphat the Martyr) in Kamsack, Saskatchewan the Silver Wedding [Anniversary] took place for the noble folks of Luka (Louie) and Anna Laskovych (Laskowich).
The noble Laskowichs are faithful children to their Church, and devoted to the cause of the people. Their Silver Wedding [Anniversary] was not only a celebration with their family, who came from Norquay and the surrounding area, but also a rejoicing with their friends and acquaintances in Kamsack.
They began the next [phase] of their married life with God at St. Josaphat’s early, on a holy day, Sunday, November 28; he [they] and his [their] children started with Holy Confession and Holy Communion.
In the evening at the Parish Hall, ladies from the Women’s Fraternity [Society] prepared dinner and Reverend Fr. Voladimir (Vladimir])Flyak said a few words to the guests of Mr. Laskowich; he addressed the tasks of the Ukrainian family in the time of ungodly Communism, which tries to destroy the family and the people. He encouraged endurance in the faith of the fathers to preserve the native language and customs of the Ukrainian people.
We, as well as friends and acquaintances gave them and their family wishes and gifts. At the urging of Reverend Father Voladimir(Vladimir), who had recently arrived from Lebanon (Arab/Israeli War – 1948) near Palestine, $40 was collected for charitable purposes; $25 dollars which is intended for wanderers [refugees], $10 for the Headquarters of the Ukrainian Catholics of Canada, and to the press fund for the Ukrainian Vista, $5.
Sincere thanks to all donors.
