PETER STASIUK The family of Peter Stasiuk of Lake Manitoba Narrows Lodge are saddened to announce his passing on May 4, 2013 surrounded by loving family. Peter is survived by his wife of 56 years, Winnifred, daughter Debra (Blair) Olafson, son Steven (Kathy), daughter Derriene (Carl) Lechman, daughter Patricia (Cory) Taylor and son Derek (Kim). Peter was born February 12, 1927 (although his father accidentally registered him for the 11th) on the family farm in Poplarfield, MB, the second child of six children born to Stephan and Antonia (Kawka), brother to Myrtle (Joe) Wallack, Helen (John) Stasiuk, Michael (Joan) Stasiuk, Ostop (Rose) Stasiuk, and Stephanie (John) Torbiak. Peter was always a devoted family man and at a very young age felt driven to help provide for his family. He was not afraid to try anything from autobody work, construction, to selling Watkins which is how he met our mother. Hunting, fishing, mushroom picking and berry picking and of course his gardens were some of the ways he provided. Dad continued to do this throughout his life. He was a man of many talents from his musical abilities, his beautiful singing voice to his love of great conversation. Dad married Winnifred Olsen on April 8, 1957. They started their family in Poplarfield. In 1971, Dad saw an opportunity to combine all of his loves and talents and he picked up everything and moved to "The Narrows". Dad's dream of always being with his family began. With the purchase of 10 acres and an existing fishing camp from the Freeman family, his dream began to take shape. Construction began in 1972 of what was to be known as "Lake Manitoba Narrows Lodge" and with the constant support of his wife and children, he realized his dream. He was a proud grandfather to Chad (Brandee), Avery, Shawnna (Brad), Lucas, Lyann, Jessica (Michael), James, Haley, Brooke and Hannah and a proud great-grandfather to Pyper, Rayna, Grace and Blake. The family would like to thank the community and their friends for their support. We would also like extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of the Dr. Gendreau Personal Care Home for their compassionate and thoughtful care. A celebration of Peter's life will be held on Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. at the Lake Manitoba Narrows Lodge. Should friends so desire, donations may be made in memory of Peter to the Dr. Gendreau Personal Care Home, Box 420, Ste. Rose du Lac, MB R0L 1S0. Sneath-Strilchuk Funeral Services Ste.
