• Notes

  William (Bill) Martyniuk of the Norquay Health Centre passed away peacefully on October 24th, 2012, at the age of 90 years. Bill was born on November 28th, 1921, to George and Lena (Romashenko) Martyniuk on the family farm, four miles south of Norquay, SK. As a young boy, he attended the North Willow Grove School and helped on the family farm with his parents and brothers. Bill loved the farm and was always very interested in grain farming, caring for his animals and riding his horse Bobby. He enjoyed family gatherings and he hosted many family events, reunions and barbeques at the farm. Anyone who visited the farm was usually recruited to help the days work whether it be repairs, haying or field work. Bill trained many a nephew in the chores of the farm. When the work was done, the trip to town on Saturday night to pick up supplies and socialize, was an event to look forward to. In the summer, Bill would announce that after church a trip to Crystal Lake was in order and as nieces and nephews we loved to hear that! Bill had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh and joke. A highlight of his day was Coffee Time , where a full lunch was enjoyed by whoever stopped by the farm. In January 1966, Bill married Ann Stecyk in Saskatoon, SK, and welcomed her and her son John into his life where they enjoyed many happy years on the farm. John was the focus of his life and learned many skills from his dad as they farmed together. Retirement was spent in Norquay where he enjoyed the visits from friends and family who stopped in. Bill moved to the Norquay Lodge, where he remained until his passing. His love of his faith and his church were always the center of his life. Bill was predeceased by his parents, George and Lena; his wife, Anne; his eight brothers: Paul, Andrew, John, Mike, Fr. Ron, Monty, Tony and Emil and his four sisters: Anne, Mary Furmaniuk, Nell Nahachewsky and Sonia Mcleod. He is lovingly remembered by his son, John Martyniuk of Norquay, SK; his brother, Ted (Ollie) Martyniuk of Parksville, B.C.; his sister, Bernadette Sorochuk of Norquay, SK and numerous nieces and nephews. The Prayer Service was held on Sunday, October 28th, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. The Funeral Liturgy was celebrated on Monday, October 29th, 2012, at 10:00 a.m., both from the Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church, Norquay, with Rev. Fr. Basil Malownay, Celebrant. Interment followed in the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, southwest of Norquay. Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to the Norquay Health Centre or to the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery fund as tokens of remembrance.
