Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryERNIE EDDIE KOLSUN It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Husband, Tato and Gido on January 19, 2016 at the age of 76. Ernie warmed the hearts of many and cared unconditionally for his family and friends. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Eleanor; his children, Wendell (Sheila), Melanie (Brent) Thompson, Garett (Wendy); his grandchildren, Kurt, Eric, Aaron, Brittanie, Kiera, Liam, Christian, Blake and Jessica; his sister Stella Sapach; his brothers Walter and Ted (Ollia). He was predeceased by his parents Bill and Lena. Ernie was born and raised in the Valley River/Fork River area where he learned a great work ethic and a love of nature. In 1961, Ernie and Eleanor married and moved to Winnipeg. He got a job with Canada Post where he worked for 30 years. He retired early at the age of 55 and spent his retirement years enjoying his family. Ernie was always there when his family needed him; whether it was babysitting his grandchildren, helping his children build a deck or help to renovate their home. He loved to hunt, fish, tend his garden and spend time at the farm. He loved to travel with his family and has been right across North America, Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. All services will be held at St. Joseph's Ukrainian Catholic Church, 250 Jefferson Avenue. Prayers on Sunday, January 24, at 7:00 p.m. Divine Liturgy will be celebrated on Monday, January 25, at 10:30 a.m. with reception immediately following service.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Uncle Ernie. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you and your family bear at this difficult time, know that our love, thoughts, and prayers are with you. We will never forget the way Uncle Ernie greeted people... with the warmest smile and the biggest "Hello" as his welcoming handshake pulled you right into his home. Love Michael, Ginny and Devon. - Posted by: Michael Sorokowski, Ginny, and Devon (Nephew) on: Jan 25, 2016

Although I only met Garett's father twice, these visits along with how Garett spoke of him I could tell instantly this is a wonderful person, a great family man and one who cared deeply. He not only helped raise a great family but I can see he taught and left everyone with these strong family values. The hunting and fishing stories are amazing and I know Ernie and my dad are right now talking about their biggest fish in heaven. Please take care, it may not seem like it now but slowly there will be peace and good memories that overtake the sadness. Our love, Noella and Roland - Posted by: Roland Hoffman (friend) on: Jan 25, 2016
