WALTER
CHOMOKOVSKI
Peacefully
on Wednesday, January 15, 2014, at the age of 87 our Pop, Grandpa and Gigi
passed away at Pinawa Hospital, surrounded by family, knowing he was loved.
Left to fondly remember Walter is his wife
Olga of 60 years; son Ken (Kathy); daughter Charlene Okrainec (Burke);
grandchildren Wade, Kayla and Erin; also Gary, Joann, Jennifer and Holly;
sisters Rosemarie and Olive; numerous nieces; nephews; and many friends. He was
predeceased by his son Rodney.
Walter was born in Rosenberg, May 4, 1926.
Pop married Mom in 1953 and they resided in Winnipeg. He worked for Blue Bird
Messenger, Midland Superior and CN. They decided to farm full time in 1980. Mom
and Pop lived and farmed in the Arborg area until 2010 when they moved to Lac
du Bonnet. There he fished, played cards, “supervised” gardens, and listened to
lots of live music especially the “Heel toe Polka” played by his granddaughter.
Pop loved walking around his new community, always a friendly face, telling
stories about the old days.
Pop found the secret of a contented life
early. He did what he wanted, when he wanted. He didn’t talk about regrets or
what should have been, He was happy fishing, hunting, loving the outdoors and
his pets (moose, jumpers, rabbits,...) playing cards, farming, gardening,
mushroom and berry picking, spending time with family and friends, and of
course telling stories!
We
welcome you to celebrate Walter’s life on Monday, January 27, 2014 at 1:00 p.m.
in Abundant Life Chapel, 90 - 4th Street, Lac du Bonnet. Interment to follow in

The family would like to extend their
gratitude to Dr. Bruneau, the staff at Pinawa Hospital and Teresa Hnatiuk for
their caring and kindness.
