WALTER
ROY "WALLY" MEDYNSKI
Peacefully at St. Boniface Hospital on
Tuesday, January 7, 2014, our beloved father and grandfather Wally Medynski
passed away at the age of 86 years.
Left to cherish his memory are daughters
Sandra, Dawn (George) Dierickse and special grandson Daniel; sisters Judy
(Laverne) Fox and Olga (Bill) Burma. Wally was predeceased by his wife
Laura (Crealock) and brothers Bill, Archie and Stan.
Walter was raised in the Okanagan
Valley. He began his working career with the railway in BC. After
that, he joined the RCAF in 1953 as an Aero Engine Technician. While
stationed in Portage la Prairie, he met and married Laura. His career
took them to St. Hubert, Ottawa, where they started their family, and Trenton,
where Wally retired in 1978 after 25 years in the Air Force. Their next
move was to Winnipeg where Wally worked for Boeing until his retirement in
1989. He and Laura then moved to Westbank BC. Walter returned to
Winnipeg in November 2012 to be closer to his family. Over all the years,
travel (especially camping) was very important to Wally and his family.
He also loved to garden and was proud of his flowers and fruit trees.
A celebration of Walter's life will be held
on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 2:30 p.m. in Crestview United Church, 316
Hamilton Avenue.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to
the St Boniface Hospital Palliative Care Unit.
Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel & Crematorium,
2157 Portage Avenue, 204-897-4665, is in care of arrangements.
