Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDENIS WASYLYK August 27, 1935 - August 22, 2017 Born Edward Denis Wasylyk in Winnipeg, Manitoba - passed away at the age of 81 in the Selkirk Regional Hospital, with family at his side. Survived by wife Nancy, of 58 years, daughter Dawn (Jeff), son Tom (Erin), grandchildren Varina (Rod), Evan (Julia) and Jessica (Alex), sister Lenore, and several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his son Christopher James (1983), parents Harry Sr. and Irma Wasylyk, sister Pauline Seniuk, and brother Harry Wasylyk Jr. Denis was born in Winnipeg and was raised, and attended Donald School in Narol, MB. Denis served in the Royal Canadian Navy until receiving a compassionate discharge, eventually joining the family businesses Poly Bag Manufacturing, and later Grainmaster Manufacturing. He enjoyed fishing at Caddy Lake in the Whiteshell, Sasaginnigak in Northern Manitoba, and on the Gulf of Mexico catching King Mackerel while visiting his parents in Florida. He often fondly recalled time spent hunting in and around Birds Hill Park before it was a park, with his life long friend Karol Miller. Despite being diagnosed with MS in 1966 he remained an active traveller visiting much of Canada and the USA, as well as Spain and Portugal. Family and friends were of utmost importance to Denis who organized many reunions over the years, often holding theme events such as pig roasts and luaus that everyone who attended continues to reminisce about. He enjoyed many lifelong close friendships whom he considered as family, and it was a rare Friday night if the dining room table was not surrounded by his friends. Cremation has taken place. As per Denis's wish there will be no funeral. A Celebration of Life will be held at a date to be determined. Flowers respectfully declined. In lieu, donations may be made to the MS Society of Manitoba, or a charity of one's choice. Special thanks is extended to the medical team in the Emergency Department and Medical Ward #2 at the Selkirk Regional Hospital in Selkirk, MB. "Dai Bozhe" www.voyagefuneralhomes.com
