- MODISTE EHOR OLYNYK It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Modiste at age 80 years on Sunday, October 13, 2013 at the Grace Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba, peacefully with family by his side. Modiste is survived by his wife Rose of 52 years of marriage; daughters Donna and Diana Olynyk; son David Olynyk (Diane); grandchildren Brayden, Brando, Brynn, Miranda, and Melissa; brother Nestor Olynyk of Hyas; sisters Sonia Grywacheski of Norquay, Ruth Cherneski of Regina, Alice Polowich (Mike) of Brackendale, BC, Marie Hladun of Saskatoon, SK; sister-in-law Chris Olynyk of Yorkton, SK; as well as by many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Maria Olynyk of Hyas, SK; brother Donald Olynyk and brothers-in-law Alphonse Grywacheski and Lorne Cherneski. On June 1, 1933 Modiste was born on a farm near Hyas, SK. Eventually his family moved into the town of Hyas and he attended grade school in Hyas, high school in Sturgis, SK and helped run the family service station business in Hyas and Stenen. In the late 1950s he moved to Winnipeg to complete his teacher training specializing in Industrial Arts. Modiste met Rose (Barteski) and they were married July 15, 1961 in Winnipeg. Over the years, his teaching career took Rose and their children to many parts of Northern Canada, including Yellowknife N.W.T., Churchill, MB, Frobisher Bay (Iqaluit), NU. Strongly committed to further education, Modiste completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Peoria, Illinois, USA. After 25 years, he retired from teaching and dedicated his time and energy to various projects at their home in Winnipeg. Modiste’s greatest source of enjoyment and relaxation was playing his fiddle. He came from a musical family and often played his fiddle with family members and friends at weddings, socials, and family gatherings. Despite health issues in the last five years of his life Modiste was determined to continue to be active. He was a devoted and caring man who loved his family. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him. A private Funeral Service will be held. The family would like to thank all the staff on the 5th floor at the Grace Hospital who cared for Modiste and supported the family during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers donations in Modiste’s memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
