Obituary of WALTER MOSKWA

WALTER MOSKWA It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Walter Moskwa in Winnipeg on Thursday, July 31, 2014, following a brief illness. With family by his side, Walter peacefully left us at the age of 87. He is now reunited with his parents, Jan and Katherine (Seepish) Moskwa, and all of his siblings, brothers Tom, Stan and Frank and sisters Mary Podolski, Anne Ewaschuk/Pic, Bertha McDougall, Jean DeCourcy, Pauline Karmason/Benedictson and Kay Petrachuk. He will be lovingly remembered by his sister-in-law, Nettie Moskwa of Red Lake, Ontario, and many nieces and nephews. Walter was born at the family home in Prawda, Manitoba where he resided for most of his life. As a young man, Walter had a mining related job in Red Lake, Ontario, but most of his working years were in Falcon Lake, Manitoba. He worked at the golf course in the summer and the ski hill in the winter. In recent years, Walter resided in Steinbach then in Winnipeg. Walter was a very gentle and kind man. He will be remembered by his wonderful smile and amusing (although repetitive) stories. He will be missed by all who knew him. A service to celebrate Walter’s life will be Friday, August 8, 2014 at 1:00 pm at St Gerard Parish, 45 Foster Street, with viewing prior to the service at 12:30 pm. Interment at St Mary's Riverside Cemetery in Prawda, Manitoba at approximately 5:00 pm. Our sincerest thanks to the staff of 6E at St Boniface Hospital for their wonderful care. In lieu of flowers, donations in Walter’s memory may be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.
