JOSEPH LOUIS KOZAK
September
23, 1931 – October 22, 2012
It is with heavy hearts we announce the
passing of Joe at the age of 81 years, after a hard fought battle with cancer.
Leaving to mourn Joe’s memory are his wife
Rose of 62 years of marriage; daughters Linda, Karen (Danny);
granddaughters Carleigh, Kayla; grand dog Jasper; sisters Bernice, Helen (Bob),
Lillian; sister-in-law Jean Kozak; brother-in-law Al Penny; as well as extended
family nieces; nephews; and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Mary and
Dmytro; siblings Pearl, Paul and Steve.
Dad worked at Inland Cement from May 1965
until his retirement. He
enjoyed the race track and playing the one armed bandits. He loved a good game
of Euchre with the gang on a Saturday night where they laughed, talked, joked
and shared a few drinks. Dad
enjoyed sports and loved to tease mom about the Toronto Blue Jays. His granddaughters
were the apple of his eye, the love he had for them was special like only a
grandfathers love can be.
Over the years Mom and Dad made numerous
friends at McDonalds over a cup of coffee. After coffee they would make their
regular stops at Shoppers and Safeway where once again several friends were
made.
In compliance with Dad’s wishes, a private
family Interment will be held. Family and friends are invited to gather on October 26,
2012 from 2:00.p.m. - 4:00 p.m. in Charleswood United Church, 4820 Roblin
Boulevard for a reception in memory of Dad.
Special thanks to Dr. J. Johnston and Nurse
Erin Streu for the excellent care they gave to dad over the past 12 years.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in
dad’s memory to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9
or The Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, MB R3T 0R3.

Until we meet again, Love you forever.
