101 David Boisjolie Obituary
It is with profound sadness we announce that on August 13, 2022, a tragic accident claimed the life of our beloved David Anthony Christopher Boisjolie.

While we feel incredible pain to lose Dave so early, we are thankful for the times of joy and adventure we had with him. He was the loving and devoted husband of Tannis Boisjolie (Gulayets) and the adored and adoring father to Avyn (10), Estelle (7), and Hewitt (5).

Dave will be so missed by his mother Marguerite Boisjolie (Gerry 2016); his father-in-law Gregg Gulayets (Jean 2020); his sister-in-law, Hayley Gulayets; and Rob Hunter.

Born June 4, 1976, Dave was the only child of Marguerite and Gerry Boisjolie. He lived his entire life in Calgary, which allowed him to build deep and long-lasting friendships and thrive in a large and loving extended family.

Dave was athletic and active in many sports: golf, badminton, snowboarding, soccer, deep sea diving, and was an 8-time marathon runner. He passed on that love of activity and exploration to his children.

Dave was passionate, joyful, and fun. His love of music and athletics were combined in his Olympic debut as a dancer in the 1988 opening ceremonies. He went on to attend the Vancouver 2010 and London 2012 Olympics with friends and family.

With his love of music, he always had impressive and expansive mixtapes and playlists, often playing along on his guitar. He had a vast knowledge of wine and food, especially bacon, which was passed on by his father. He also had a natural ability to attract a crowd and fill the room with energy, as evidenced by the massive and memorable social events he produced while in university and later.

Dave was entrepreneurial. He was the CEO and visionary behind Tuesday Brewing. Dave was also a well-respected Petroleum Landman for more than two decades in Calgary. In his professional life, just like his personal life, he was able to forge deep bonds and connections with those he worked alongside.

He was worldly and loved to travel, touring Europe as a youth and then with Tannis as an adult. He dived in Australia and Belize, explored the larders of Napa Valley, golfed in St. Andrews, and most of all he loved to spend time in West Kelowna with Tannis and his kids.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to STARS Rescue Services.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the family who stayed with Dave at the accident scene, the Calgary Police and Emergency Medical Services

A Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, at 12:00pm, at St. Mary’s Cathedral (219 18 Ave SW). Celebration of Life to take place from 1:30-4:00 at The Glencoe Club Calgary (636 29 Ave SW).

105 Donald Peter Moshenko Obituary
Heavy Heart

Don Moshenko, long time Milford resident lost his battle from complications with Covid on January 13 2021. He will be remembered as a kind caring generous and humorous man who loved all his children and grandchildren.

Many will remember him for his love for this country, unique hats, old western movies, horse racing, watching Secreteriet, football, bowling, his speedway coffee and driving his Lincoln town cars all around town before dementia altered his ability to enjoy those things that made him special to many. Those that knew him will remember him always tipping his hat when greeting or saying good bye.

His family asks that you remember him for those positive qualities that made him unique and special and dismiss those that were a struggle as part of the darker side of dementia. We are truly heartbroken.

He leaves behind his loving wife Sharon, two sons David in Greenwood, South Carolina and Michael (Erica) in Las Vegas Nevada, and three stepchildren Terry Peterson (Christel) in Emmett, Mi, Sara (Danny) Scull from Lexington Park, MD and Carl (Abigail) Peterson from Virginia Beach, Va, and grandchildren Ashley (Mike) Zuniga, Anthony (Ashlyne) Ingle, Elizabeth, Olivia, Kaleb and Max and great grandsons Colton and Logan all who he adored. He also leaves behind brothers and sisters in law and nieces and nephews who he loved to be around and his little four legged buddy Lexi, our little dog who he loved to pamper. spoil and loved to walk.

As his dementia got worse he made it well known he missed his parents Peter and Mary Moshenko and knew he would unite with them when he turned 80. January 11th he turned 80. He is now pain free and will celebrate with his parents. His family will miss him terribly and he will always have a special place in our hearts. A celebration of life will be planned for a safer time due to Covid.

107 EARLY DAYS OF THE PASNAKS
by Pat Delore & Joan Knowles (as told to them by Anne Knowles)

Grandma was born in 1890 Maria Zaich somewhere in the Ukraine (which Jim Pasnak has identified now for us as being the village of Putiatynce near the town of Rohatyn or Rogatin in the western Ukraine).

She emigrated to the United Stateswhen she was about 15 years of age and settled in Rochester, N.Y. She Lived with and worked for a Jewish family as a servant or hired help. Although she was in this home as an employee, they treated her like family and even gave her a little wedding when she married John Pasnak. Their first child, Anya, was born April 1, 1912.This was our mother who later became Anne Knowles.
With their first child at about 1-1/2 years of age, this couple moved to Alberta where they secured land at a place near Boyle called Bondiss. They lived here for about five years.

They then moved to Vegreville where Grandpa worked in a store. It was there that Mom started school. Up until then she had been homeschooled by Grandpa to read and write. She started school in the summer and by January she was ready to move into grade three. It is uncertain how long the family lived in Vegreville. According to my brief notes made from what Mom told me (Joan), the family then went to Lamont to live for about 6 months. After that they moved to Edmonton for three years where Grandpa worked in a store for a group of businessmen.

In Edmonton Grandpa became editor of a newspaper. At that time he went into real estate. He became the owner of about 20 farms which he rented out.
When the Depression broke out, the government ruled that no family could be put off the land they were renting regardless of whether they could pay the rent or not. Since there was no money coming in to pay the taxes, Grandpa lost his farms. Mom said that Grandpa would have become a millionaire had it not been for the loss of these farms.

At this time, Mom had been teaching school for (we think) three years. Her first year of teaching was in a small two-room country school at Bruderhaim.
She was responsible for grades 7 to 11 and was also the school Principal.
She then moved to another school situated between Mundaire and Chipman where she taught for two years.

Mom enjoyed teaching and was doing well at it.
However, since Grandpa had lost his means of living due to the failure of his renters to pay him, he was forced to find another source of income.
He therefore set up business of another country store. He asked Mom to loan him her savings for the necessary capital. He and Grandma talked Mom into quitting her teaching job and going to work for him in his store. Mom hated working in the store.
This kind of work did not appeal to her at all.

When Grandpa was financially back on his feet, Mom quit work in the store and followed her heart's desire which was to come to the west coast and settle in Vancouver.
Rather than apply for new teaching credentials, she opted to
work at another less busy type of job which would allow her more • social time.
She went to work for BC Tel as an operator. This was considered to be a very respectable job for a woman at that time. In time Grandpa paid Mom back the money she had loaned him. The store Grandpa had bought was in Andrew.

Grandpa and Grandma had never been impressed with Mom's chosen profession of school teaching.
This must have been disheartening to Mom as she loved
the job and we believe that she had a gift for it.

November 15, 1923 - March 12, 2013

Edward Kindratsky of Kamsack and formerly of Stenen passed away on March 12th, 2013, at the Kamsack Hospital, at the age of 89 years. Ed was born on November 15th, 1923, the fifth child to Joe and Anne (Stusick) Kindratsky in the Mohyla District. His early childhood was spent in the Mohyla district until 1936, when the family moved to the Stenen District. Ed quit school upon completion of grade eight and wanted to go farming with horses. Horses were his passion. He had a horse named Scout which he rode and had him trained that he could stand up on his backside. Ed went working in bush camps for the winter and farmed in the summertime. In the spring of 1947, he bought a quarter of land and cleared it. In 1950, he built his house on the farm and in November of 1951, he married Anne Bazansky and together they farmed and raised cattle, pigs and chickens. After many years of hard work, he sold the farm and moved to Stenen. Ed was an avid curler, enjoyed fishing, and playing cards. As well, he was on Town Council in the Village of Stenen for six years and belonged to the Senior Citizens in Stenen. After retiring, he took up golfing. During their time together, Ed and Anne travelled to Ontario, B.C., Alaska, Texas and Hawaii in addition to their many fishing trips. In July of 2002, Anne passed away. Ed continued to golf and people at Crystal Lake said you could set you clock by Ed; he was on the golf course at 7:00 a.m. every morning. Ed enjoyed his nieces and nephews and was always interested in what they were doing. Living in Stenen, he was very close to his sister Vickys children. He often helped his brother Nestor harvest his crop in the fall. In 2011, he moved to Kamsack and resided at the Eaglestone Lodge private care home until his passing. He will be dearly missed by all. Ed was predeceased by his parents, Joe and Anne; his wife, Anne; his brothers: Stanley in infancy and John; his sisters: Mary Rewakowsky and Jean Bracken; his brothers-in-law: Paul Rewakowsky, Ron Tanton, Lawrence Kilmister and Jack Banks; his sisters-in-law: Alyne Kindratsky and Kay Kindratsky and his godchild James Tanton.

113 Eulogy
Monday April 27, 2009
Written and Delivered by Blair Fantillo

Mark Twain said: "The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A
man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." To me, this
sums up how Ernie Sorochuk, how Grampa, lived his life. He lived
life to the full and he lived it his own terms. Grampa was never
someone to be swayed by social convention - he did what suited
him - and did it without a care about what others would think or
say. So few of us can truly say that they approach their own lives
in the same way - maybe we like to say we live on our own
terms....but in our weaker moments, we worry about what people
might say or what they might think - and we take the safe path -
the path that doesn't stand out - but not Ernie. There can be no
doubt that Ernie was one of a kind.

Ernest Sorochuk was born in the middle of the Depression on
January 23rd, 1934, down the road in Swan Plain the second of
five children, to Metro and Anne Sorochuk. Ernie attended school
at Swan Plain but by Grade 8 - enough was enough. But what
Ernie lacked in formal education, he made up for in raw
intelligence and force of personality - tangle with him, and you'd
learn that lesson quick.

They say that opposites attract and to prove that, Ernie married
Bernadette Martyniuk on July 23rd, 1955. God only knows what
George and Lena Martyniuk must have thought of Ernie when he
first arrived on the scene with their daughter, Bernadette (fresh out
of Sacred Heart Girl's academy) what with his loud pickup and
greased-up, slicked-back hair. The marriage worked, though - 54
years and the fact that you are all here today is evidence of that.

In the early days of their marriage, Ernie and Bernadette, and their
growing family lived across Canada, from BC to Quebec, as they
followed Grampa's work on the pipeline. Ernie settled the family
for good in Norquay in 1964.
Over his 75 years,Ernie played many roles. He was a husband to
Bernadette, a brother to Bill, Adeline, Mary and Eugene a father to
Deb, Loretta, Bruce and Neil, a grandfather, a great-grandfather
and friend to everyone here today. And over those 75 years-he
toiled as a pipeline foreman, a land-clearing contractor and
sometimes farmer. He was even a meat cutter - which partly
explains his passion for getting deals on good cuts of meat.
(sometimes dozens of pounds of good cuts of meat).

Grampa had a number of hobbies throughout his life - some of
them ordinary, some of them not so ordinary. He had a passion
for gardening, mushroom picking and cooking & frying....the man
had a passion for food.....| know we are all going to miss the
shishliki, the sauerkraut and dills! Later in life, as the size of his
garden grew, and the available mouths to feed shrank he had too
much food to use. Ernie, not wanting to see his fresh produce go
to waste, he loaded up the truck full of potatos, tomatoes, cukes,
onions and whatever other kind of vegetable he had and took them
to the NICE centre, Key Reserve and points in between and gave
away his those vegetables to anyone who came by.

Of his more exceptional hobbies, he kept bees, he even raised
wild boar. He also had a passion for travelling - earlier in life this
passion included Texas and Mexico. Later in life he focussed his
passion for travel on the Ukraine - there might be those who
thought these trips to Ukraine weren't the best idea - but it's a safe
bet that Ernie didn't care.

Of all his hobbies, though, the one that stands out the strongest is
Grampa's love for "getting a good deal". I'm sure everyone here
today has witnessed or at least heard about one Ernie's legendary
bargain buys. Whether it's the 100 cans of soon-to-expire Nabob
coffee or the five 40-pound bags of Rooster brand rice (enough to
Start a Chinese restaurant) to go with his newly-purchased rice
cooker, Ernie was permanently on a hunt for a bargain. This
bargain hunt continued until the day before he died when, he
called Neil in Saskatoon and asked him to rush to Zellers to pick
up a razor that he found on sale in that morning's Zellers flyer.

It could be that people all-too-frequently make the mistake of
equating education with intelligence....but any of you who ever got
into an argument with Ernie - political or otherwise - would have to
re-think that opinion. Despite his lack of formal education, Ernie
had a surprisingly wide world view - and while not everyone would
agree with that world view whether it be about world politics or
goings on in the Ukraine, or elsewhere in the world, there were few
issues that Ernie did not have an opinion about.

Over the last few days, I've had the privilege of speaking to many
of you about Ernie and have listened to the stories that you've
shared. The thing that strikes me most about what you shared
with me was what those stories had in common: There was no
pretence to Ernie. With Grampa - what you saw was what you got:
this original - this one of a kind. Ernie was a man who loved
people and loved interacting with people. Everyone here knows
firsthand how quick Ernie was to share a story or a laugh and
more often than not, an opinion....Even if he had somewhere to go,
or something to do - he always had time for people. This was
perhaps his most endearing quality - and one he will be long, and
maybe best, remembered for.

With his gruff and rough & tumble exterior, it's not often that we got
to see any other side of Grampa. Bernadette, with the help of his
family took good care of Ernie over the last few years and although
he might not always have outwardly expressed it, he was
appreciative of this love and support. I'm told that, at night before
going to bed, Grandma would bring Grampa his meds. Grampa
would take his meds, and look at Grandma and say: "Mom - you
know | love you, don't you?". She knew, of course, and she loved
him too. Ernie loved Bernadette, he loved his family and he loved
his friends.

116 Family History: What do I know?
by J. Pasnak

One time, Grandma and Dad were looking in an atlas of mine, and they said something about the family having come from a place called Przemysl (pronounced something like Pshemeesle).
This is a small city (60,000 1979 est.) that at this point in history is in Poland, just across the Ukrainian border, down near the Carpathian Mountains. We are credibly informed, however, that the family came from the village of Putiatynce, near the town of Rohatyn or Rogatin in the western Ukraine: if you look at the map and find the cities of Lvov, Tarnopol and Ivano-Frankovsk, Rohatyn is in about the centre of that triangle. Przemysl may have been a staging area, where emigrants went to catch the train.

There seems to have been two kinds of Ukrainians in that part of the country, Galicians (Balychyna, and Bukovinians, perhaps corresponding to those who lived on the plain and those who lived in the hills. Grandma occasionally used the term "bukovin" as a putdown of someone she did not think much of. Other peoples mixed into that area, too; there are in Alberta Ukrainians named Shandro, who were originally Shand
or maybe Shannon, Irish who somehow settled in the Ukraine!

And grandpa's parents, his father was Wasyl, and his mother
was Maria Shurgot (sp.?), a name that sounds German in origin.
She was a midwife. There were five children in that family that we know of, that, is who came to Canada. Pearl (Paraska) was the oldest; she came over in 1923, after she had married and started her family. John was the oldest boy. Then came Frank (Onufry), Nick and Annie, who married a Burzminsky.

Frank seems to have been a rather colourful character: he served in World War I, apparently on both sides, and he may have spent time in a prisoner-of-war camp. He was a bit of a ne’er-do-well while he lived in Alberta. Nick was loved by all. He is the only one I ever met, when he came to visit Grandma after Grandpa died, and it gave me an awful jolt (I was only eight) because he looked so much like his older brother.

Nick lived to be into his nineties, I believe, and I came across him when I worked for Historic Sites, one of my colleagues had gone to inspect an old building the owner of which was a Nick Pasnak: did I know him? Yes, Uncle Nick, my grandfather's brother. A fine old gentleman. Of Annie Burzminsky, I know little save that she died of a brain
tumour. Down the generations, Auntie Pearl's daughter Mary Chamzuk lives in Edmonton. Uncle Nick had at least one son, named Benny (Basil). There are a few other Pasnak’s living in Edmonton, but. I do not know them or what relation they are (there was apparently also a cousin of Grandpa's in Alberta).

Grandma had an unhappy childhood. She was (I believe) the only child of a mother she loved and who died young. Her father (surname Zaiych? or Zaychuk:) then married another woman who had children of her own (two hoys, at least), and favoured her own offspring at the expense of the step-daughter. When she was fifteen Maria borrowed some money from an aunt, and with a group of other girls, emigrated to America, coming to Rochester, New York, where there was a Ukrainian community established. For a time she worked for a Jewish woman. Among the flotsam and jetsam of our family possessions is a rather large photo of a wedding party that, seems to show Grandma as one of the bride's maids.

John and Maria were married in Rochester, where their first child, Anya was born. They were by all accounts an ill-assorted pair. She was shy, inward-looking, wary, ever
suspicious to the point of paranoia. He was gregarious, the life of the party, a leader of his people. They had known each other from the old country, being from the same place; Grandma told me once, yes, I knew him, I knew his family, but, I didn't know anything about his ideas. Talking to her another time, I mentioned that I was a little concerned about, my brother, who seemed just then to be spending a lot of his hours hanging out and having a good time. Just like his grandfather! she cried. Well, well….

Grandpa is said to have been a cabinet-maker, but he seems not to have ever practised that trade in Canada. In 1913, Mr. and Mrs. Pasnak and child, lured, one supposes, like so many others, by the chance of free land, moved to the province of Alberta in the country of Canada, and took up a homestead by Skeleton Lake, which is just east, of the town of Boyle, some ninety miles north of Edmonton. Their quarter-section came down almost to the shore, and Grandpa pre-empted a sliver of land to give them a lakefront property. Their second child, Myron, was born there in 1916. In addition to working the land, Grandpa also did railway construction to make some ready money; and they ate a lot of fish (to the end of their days, neither Grandma nor Dad cared much for fish: Ah! tastes fishy) •

The house they lived in: one of the things I did at Historic Sites was to edit a monograph entitled "Ukrainian Vernacular Architecture", I showed it to Dad, and he said, yes, that's the kind of house they had, with the thatched roof, the mud-and-dung plaster walls, the sleeping platform for the whole family over the stove. How well would he have remembered that? (Models of such houses exist now at Elk Island Park and the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, and you can still sometimes find the original in the farming country of northern Alberta, still in use for animals or grain).
Grandpa's parents may have lived with them there; the story goes that, newspapers were used for insulation inside the walls, and the old man used to shuffle around reading the walls. Dad's place of birth is given as Bondiss, a whistle-stop that does not really exist any more (and scarcely did even then. When I was in my teens we took a day trip up that way, had a picnic in the campground and a swim in Skeleton Lake. Seem to recall seeing an old sign that said "Bondiss", but, if anything remained of the old homestead, my father could not find it.

That area is, I believe, not prime farming country, and in any case, Grandpa had other ideas for his life than being a mere tiller of the soil. Unfortunately, I can discover little for certain about the family's life over the next ten years. I do not know where the third child, Nadia, was born. We know that they lived for a while in Holden, a town about fifty miles southeast of Edmonton; Grandpa had a store there, in partnership with Uncle Nick, at least, and possibly also with Uncle Frank. The only story I have from that time is that the place had two wells, one salt and one soda, and dad remembered collecting tubs of snow in the winter, for water.

The Pasnak’s make their first appearance in Edmonton in the city directory of 1929. The story goes that the move was made because the children were getting older and needed better schooling; given the timing, the birth of their fourth child, Louise, may also have been a motivating factor. They took the house at 10856-93 street, purchased from a Charles Greenough. Amazingly, that house is still standing. It may have undergone a few changes over the years -- looks like the front porch has been removed -- but it is undoubtedly the same house. For those unfamiliar with the city, that is a venerable neighbourhood, with a lot of old and essentially unchanged houses. To the west is downtown, skid row, Chinatown (97 street) and Little Italy (95 street). Just a block or two to the east is Commonwealth Stadium. There are big houses (10856 is fully three stories), little houses with oddly-shaped porches, large brick buildings that have been various churches at different times; there are many old trees, on a sunny summer afternoon, 93 street reminds one of an old neighbourhood in Vancouver. They lived there till just after the war, when they moved to the house most of us grandchildren would remember, at 10742-102 street, just across from Victoria High School. That house is, of course, long gone.

Grandpa had a varied career. A homesteader and a small town storekeeper in his first years in Canada, he is given the occupation "real estate" in the 1929 directory. In subsequent years he is listed as the manager of the Alberta Settlement Board (1930) and the manager of the Ukrainian News (1931-2) (as a sidebar, the 1931-32 directories also mention a certain "Anne Pasnak tchr". In 1933 he was the proprietor of Pasnak's
Grocery, at an address south of the river. This turned out to he a building I go by every Friday on my shopping rounds. It is on Whyte Avenue, on the edge of the district known as Old Strathcona, an area of heritage buildings, some dating back before the turn of the century, and trendy, high-priced shops and restaurants. The building at 10008 is at present a bicycle shop. For whatever reason, Pasnak's grocery was in operation for only that year or so.

There is a story that Grandpa had a store at St. Michael, a small place about thirty miles northeast of the city, he was there during the week, and took the train home to his family on weekends. I understood this to have been during the first few years of their life in Edmonton, but that cannot he correct, I think. In the 1935 directory Grandpa’s occupation is given as "clk Andrews", a listing that puzzled me until I remembered that Andrew no - s) is a town just on past the fly-speck of St. Michael. There were a great many Ukrainian settlers in that area. How long the St. Michael business lasted, I am unable to determine. The next several years list him as "merchant" or "merchant whol". The firm of J. Pasnak and Co. wholesale footwear makes its first appearance in 1947, in the basement of the Regis Hotel on 101 street. By the following year this concern had moved to a building on 104 street, which some of us may remember, a grey stucco structure with a large signboard of a woman's shoe. These locations are gone now, the address on 104 street is a parking lot and the hotel has been subsumed in the bulk of the Edmonton Centre complex. Around 1951, J. Pasnak and Co. built its own warehouse, at 10249-106 street, and that building is still there, renovated inside, but the yellow brick exterior is largely unchanged. Now, all of these business addresses are in the heart of downtown Edmonton, and it was a bit of a shock to me to discover that in 1950, 106 street was residential, the Pasnak Building was the first commercial structure on that block. It was a fascinating place, we got our boots and shoes there when I was little. Later on, when it was a rental property for Grandma, I picked up some pin money going around once a week to mop the corridors and sweep the sidewalk. Cine Audio, one of the tenants from that time, is now in possession of the whole building.

Grandpa did not live long to enjoy his empire. I have the memory of seeing him less and less, we would go to visit Grandma, in the house on 102 street, and he would not be there, he was out on the road selling shoes. Well, he did not like to he home, anyway. His wife was always reproaching him to stay home, but he would rather go out, playing cards, visiting with the priests, going to Knights of Columbus meetings. He rose high in the hierarchy of K. of C., and we have his sword to prove it. He died on the road, of a heart attack, in his hotel room in Willingdon, another widening of the road about twenty miles on past St. Michael. His firm carried on for a few years under the management of Uncle Wally and Uncle Johnny, then it was sold to an outfit called Canada West Shoe, under a man named Leckie, who ran it into the ground.

My memories of Grandpa are necessarily fragmentary. One incident stands out in my mind. The neighbours, the Sachkiw’s, had an elevated front lawn, with a sharp two- or three-foot slope down to the Pasnak's yard that was just right for a little kid to roll down. Sachkiw did not like little kids rolling down his lawn, and we were forbidden to do it. But of course we did when we figured no one was looking. One day, a group of grandchildren (wh all? Sinclairs? maybe a couple of Knowles's? cannot remember now was indulging in this taboo pleasure, when I spotted Grandpa coming down the street. I immediately stopped rolling and sat on the front steps. He came up and angrily ordered all children into the back yard, and there was yours truly, sitting there with this halo glowing above his fair head. The old man was not fooled by that nonsense, and I remember him shaking a finger at me and saying, Don't you lie to me, Jimmy! Mostly I remember my grandfather as a man who seemed to give off heat like a radiator. I also recall this as being a not entirely pleasurable sensation.

And then, for every positive word about Grandpa, you get a negative one about Grandma. Hard to get along with, never went out, never had any fun, never wanted him to have any fun. To be sure, she had a falling-out with all of her children except perhaps Auntie Louise -- the one with my Dad was particularly traumatic. Well, I don't care. My memories of her are nothing but good. Her pirohy are one of the golden notes of my childhood, which I have ever since searched in vain to recover. And whatever she may have said to others, whatever she may have said about me to others. She never gave me a cross word. She had seen a lot of hardship, of a lot of different kinds, she had no illusions about the world, and she was sustained, I believe, by faith, by work, that, and the memory of her beautiful mother, and of Louise, the golden-haired child whom god chose to take from her. The house that Grandma lived in, for more than twenty years after her husband died, it ain’t there any more, indeed the bulldozers practically came in the back door as she was going out the front. Her marvellous garden is now an apartment parking lot.

I never talked to Grandma about the old days as much as I should have. But one time she told me a little about her mother, and said she had a beautiful name: Nariwney (as I believe it, would be transliterated from the Cyrillic alphabet. Can you say that? she said. I tried: Is there a v in it? No, no v, she said, end repeated it till I got it right, or approximately so. Na-ree-wnee. There are similar surnames around Edmonton now, and I suppose that these days that spelling would be pronounced Naroony. But that is wrong.
Na-ree-wnee. Nariwney.

118 FIENDELL, Barry Eugene
Barry was born in Porcupine Plain, SK on December 15, 1948 to Walter and Mabel Fiendell, the last of their 7 children. Barry’s family lived on a farm near Weekes, SK until 1954 when they moved to Fort Nelson, BC, Muncho Lake, BC, then on to Whitehorse in 1957. He moved back to Porcupine in 1967 and after graduation he went on to work in Northern Canada; Yellowknife and Whitehorse then Edmonton. He returned to Porcupine Plain in 1969 and met his wife Gladys there in the fall of 1971; she was teaching in a nearby small town. They were married in August of 1973. They lived in Regina where Barry worked for A.C Neilson Co. and Gladys did some substitute teaching. In May of 1974 they moved to Fort Nelson, BC where they purchased a Laundry and Dry Cleaning operation with Barry’s brother Alvin. In the fall of 1977 they moved to Yorkton, SK and lived there for 26 years where their children, Cory, Calvin and Alison were born and raised. In those years through sports, organizations, work and volunteering, Barry made many lifelong friends. Barry loved sports of all kinds; bowling, slow pitch, golf, but mostly curling. He played, watched and coached curling. When his sons became active in curling Barry began coaching and teaching juniors in 1992. He coached many teams throughout his years, and continued to do so until 2012. The most memorable was winning the Gold at the 2003 World Junior Championship in Switzerland. His curling goal was to get to the Brier, and he did several times; not as a curler, as he had hoped, but eventually as a coach for team Sask. Barry was a volunteer by nature, and was involved with his sons through T-ball, bowling, and of course curling. He spent years volunteering with the air cadets and being with his sons through all their experiences and levels. As of February 2019 Barry was an Honorary Member of the Yorkton Knights of Columbus. Other organizations he had been a member of were, The Lions Club and Blue Goose International. Barry enjoyed his family. His boys; Cory and Calvin, were his pride and joy, guys he could always share his loves with. He adored innocent, special Alison with her loving nature, and was always her protector. Right until the end she kept telling him “I love you so much dad”. Being called Grandpa by Mackenzie, Ashley, Weston and Paige, made his heart happy. In May 2018 Barry’s health deteriorated due to Vascular Dementia and Parkinsons, so he became a resident of Luther Special Care Home, where he was treated like family with caring and compassion until his peaceful passing on March 23, 2019.

119 FILIPOVYCH (Vyniatyntsi)
The research of Filipovych family has been done on the base of Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic Registers of the village of Vyniatyntsi. The documents are:
Lviv archives: Roman Catholic registrations of births, marriages and deaths 1816-1865.
Ternopil archives: Roman Catholic registrations of births 1876-1908.
Zalischyky Registry office: Creek Catholic registrations of births 1877-1944, marriages 1875-1944, deaths 1876-1944.
Warsaw (Poland) archives: Roman Catholic registrations of births 1784-1831, 1905-1909, marriages 1817-1830, 1905-1909, deaths 1905-1909.
Although there are the chronological limits of Registers, documents of some years are not available. They wrote Registers in Latin until 1908, so I will write names according to Ukrainian transcription and original names in brackets. Since 1908, they kept records alternately in Ukrainian and in Latin.
Filipovych family was Greek Catholic; nevertheless, later Roman-Catholics “poured” into the family. They are red in the text.

I have managed to determine that the first of the kin was MYKHAYLO FILIPOVYCH (Michael Filipowicz). He was obviously born at the end of the 18th century. He married Sophia (her maiden surname is unknown). They lived in the building No 56 in Vyniatyntsi, and had at least 2 sons:

125 Frances Grywacheski passed away peacefully with her loved ones at her side at the Norquay Health Centre on December 17, 2014, ten days before her 97th birthday. Frances was born on December 27, 1917 on a farm south of Norquay to Wasyl and Mary (Kindratsky) Cherewyk. She received her education to grade eight at South Willowgrove country school. She then stayed home to assist her parents on the farm and in the field in addition to helping with her younger siblings. Frances married Frank Grywacheski on October 12, 1941. They moved to their own homestead, south of Norquay, where they were blessed with seven children; some of which were known for their unique nicknames such as: Poopits, Buckshot, Red Mare, Jethro and Tomco. In 1973, they relocated into Norquay where they enjoyed their new home and beautiful yard. Shortly after, Frances started working in the Norquay Union Hospital and enjoyed her job in housekeeping and dietary. She was a very devoted member of the Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church and read her prayer book and recited the rosary daily. She also had a passion for gardening and won several awards from the horticulture club for her flowers and for maintaining the nicest yard in town. A weed could not be found in her garden. When you drove by in the summer, you were guaranteed to see Frances in her garden, with her butt in the air, as she tended her garden. Her other hobbies were quilting (usually in the winter months) and cross stitching. Cross stitching was a year-round project for her and she worked on her pictures every day, except Sundays. Her family and friends have many beautiful pictures from her. Frances would also donate her cross stitch masterpieces to the local clubs for raffle prizes. As well, she loved cooking and baking and looked forward to helping with weddings, church events, butchering chickens, etc. She always made homemade bread and loved her soup the most. Sometimes you would find her in the basement deep frying platsok (platchka). Frances also made homemade egg noodles called keista. One thing she always had was Lipton lemon iced tea; she always had a full glass on the table. Frances was very proud of her Ukrainian heritage. She loved telling stories of the old days and fun times and humored many people with her amusing impressions and tones of voice. Some of her favorite stories were of her "crazy" boys and all the trouble they got into. Frances was widowed in 1993 but she kept busy visiting friends and family. Family was very important to her - especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren whom she cherished with all her heart. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Frances was predeceased by her parents: Wasyl and Mary; mother and father-in-law: Mike and Dora Grywacheski; husband, Frank Grywacheski; brothers: Metro and Mike Cherewyk; sister, Elsie Babiuk; brother-in-law, Sam Babiuk; sister-in-law, Olga Cherewyk; and her sons: Larry and Randy and son-in-law, Russell Kush. She is survived by her children: Zoria Kush, Terry (Marlene) Grywacheski, Jerry (Karen) Grywacheski, Bernard (Sandie) Grywacheski, and Tom (Iris) Grywacheski; grandchildren: Donna (Steve) Swerid, Mark (Joette) Kush, Kelly Grywacheski, Mike (Carmen) Grywacheski, Carrie Grywacheski, Nathan Grywacheski (Kalyn), Vanessa (Lyndon) Olson, Shawna (Jamie) Mitchell, Jason (Stephanie) Grywacheski, Daniel (Morgan) Grywacheski, Amanda (Ivan) Holinaty, Nicole (Garette) Wright and Darlene Spiers; great-grandchildren: Travis Kydd (Amanda), Kelsey Kydd, Hilary and Matthew Kush, Erin and Jonathon Grywacheski, Joshua and Jordyn Grywacheski, Cameron and Sierra Grywacheski, Aiden and Connor Mitchell, Rozalyn and Everly Grywacheski, Peyton and Emmarie Holinaty, and Lukas Wright; as well as her sister-in-law, Olga Cherewyk and numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Family and friends were invited to a Prayer Service held on Sunday, December 21, 2014 at 7:00 pm. Funeral Liturgy was celebrated on Monday, December 22, 2014 at 10:00 with both services from Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church, Norquay with Rev. Fr. Ivan Derkach as Celebrant. Rite of Committal followed in the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Parish Cemetery.

128 From Lawrence Huska page 6 - 7
After a short run from Winnipeg to Portage La Prairie, the family transferred to a different railway carrier, the CNR (Canadian Northern Railway), and covered the final distance to Grandview, Manitoba. There to the great joy of all, Paraska’s uncle, Kyrylo (Karl) Lukey (Кирило Лукій), and family welcomed them. It was now early June, about a week since their arrival in Halifax.

The First Homestead
Kyrylo, b. 1849, and his wife Maria (Марія) came to Canada from Babyntsi, Galicia, in 1900 where he had been the village reeve or mayor (війтом), together with three of their children, Wasylyna (Васйлйна) (b.1884), Simon (Семен) (b.1885), and Andrew (Андрай) (b.1892). Their oldest child, Peter (Петро) (b. 1876), had immigrated to Canada earlier, in 1898. It was Peter’s letters to his parents back in Babyntsi extolling the virtues of Canada that convinced them to seek a better life in Canada. They settled on SE22-27-23-W1, near Venlaw, north of Gilbert Plains, Manitoba. And like most other immigrants, who had arrived in Canada, they had maintained contact with their relatives back in Babyntsi, which included Paraska and Roman. Although there were other Huskas settled in the Dauphin region, who were also from Babyntsi, it was Kyrylo and Maria who sponsored Roman, Paraska, George, and John. Because of the untenable conditions of their lives in Babyntsi and the favorable reports they had received by letter from the Lukeys in Venlaw, Roman and Paraska decided to join the flood of emigrants leaving Galicia in search of greener pastures in western Canada. The plan was that all would stay with the Lukeys until such time that the newcomers could establish themselves sufficiently to go it on their own. The 18 feet by 26 feet Lukey log house, typical of homesteaders’ residences, must have been extremely crowded with the addition of four adults and two small children to its confines.

Although a few settlers had taken out homesteads earlier, the great immigration swell did not arrive until after the completion of the Canadian Northern rail line to Grandview in December 1896. The Lukeys were part of that swell. The settlers continued to arrive in great numbers, occupying almost all the available land by the time that Roman and Paraska and the two young men arrived. The homesteads near the Lukeys were all taken. In fact, when the Lukeys arrived in 1900, the best land had already been taken. No doubt, this lead to hesitation on Kyrylo’s part to take out a homestead entry immediately. Instead the Lukey family squatted on what was the best quarter of a bad lot. However, under pressure from the local land office, Kyrylo filed his Entry for Homestead on June 21, 1901.

131 GLADYS' OBITUARY
Gladys Yacyshen passed away at the Victoria General Hospital, Winnipeg, MB, on April 22, 2020.
Gladys was born to Alvar and Florence (Hansen) Holm on August 24, 1933 in Norquay, SK. She grew up there with her five siblings, two older and three younger.
Gladys married Peter Yacyshen in 1957 and they lived in Dauphin, MB, where they raised four daughters.
An accomplished seamstress, she would sew for her family and for other people. She sewed many wedding gowns. In her life’s journey she moved to Winnipeg, where she was the plant production manager at Manta, who had contracts with the Canadian Forces.
Gladys cherished her family. As her health declined, she often spoke about caring for her little girls and recalled how happy that time of her life was to her. She was adventurous. She flew ultralight planes, rode motorcycles, and thoroughly enjoyed driving. She had a feisty spirit and defended her family unwaveringly. Gladys had a sense of humour. One of Eldora’s friends had nicknamed her ‘Happy bum’.
Gladys converted to Catholicism before marrying Peter. She proudly practiced her faith and shared it with others allowing God to change their lives. She had friends who credit her with surviving hard times in their lives. She will be surely missed by all who knew and loved her.
Eternal Rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
Gladys was predeceased by her parents, Alvar and Florence, and her husband, Peter.

132 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)

145 I found this handwritten note in Ted Martyniuk's papers:

My grandad Andrew Martyniuk was married to Wasylena Sapach. After she died my grandpa married another lady [?] and I remember my dad saying he had a half brother named [?]

Norquay Nostalgia references a sister Annie and two older brother's Michael and John [cousins perhaps? and not brothers?] Or an uncorroborated memory?

147 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)
 
148 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)
 
149 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 Nova”.
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 (“Semeniv”, “Semchyshyn” – a son of Semen; “Hnativ”, “Hnatyshyn” – a son of Hnat; “Pavliv”, “Pavlyshyn” – a son of Pavlo; “Prokopiv”, “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 – “Nivryanskyy”, from Lviv – “Lvivskyy”).
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)
