Carl was predeceased by his parents Julia and Peter Hrynkiw; brothers Joe, Jack, Frank, Edward, Stanley and Walter and sisters Nellie, Stella, Bertha, Violet and Jean. Carl was born on February 28, 1931, and raised in Cooks Creek, Manitoba. He was the youngest of 12 children and stayed on the farm until he got a job at Westeel in St. Boniface where he was a devoted worker for 47 years. During these years, he met Eleanor and they married in 1958. Carl enjoyed fishing and playing cards with friends. He loved his children and adored his grandchildren, and was very proud of them. Our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Concordia NIN for their care and comfort. In keeping with Carl's wishes, a funeral for family and close friends was held on Saturday, July 28, 2012, at St. Gerard Church, followed by interment at Transcona Cemetery.
