JOHN BONI SR. It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of John Boni Sr. on Saturday, December 11, 2004 at the age of 76 years. John will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 56 years, Bernice; and by his children, John (Deborah) Boni, Dianne Cardinal, Walter (Nancy) Boni; six grandchildren, Lora (Kelly) Pickard, Heather (Dan) Jones, Lisa and Carrie Cardinal, Allison and Michael Boni; and one great-grandchild Kate Pickard. John was predeceased by his son-in-law Ken Cardinal in 1997. John retired from the City of Winnipeg Transit Department as Foreman of the Welding Shop in 1990 after 42 years of dedicated service. John was a loving and devoted father and grandfather and was extremely happy to meet his seven week old great-granddaughter, who most recently brought a large smile to his face. A memorial service to celebrate John's life will be held on Friday, December 17, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. at Glen Eden Memorial Gardens, 4477 Main St. The family would like to thank the doctors and staff of the Health Sciences Centre and especially the nurses of ward GH3 for their compassionate care of John in his final days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Blood Services or the Cancercare Manitoba Foundation Inc.
