During the Second World War, Joseph served in the front lines with the Canadian Army as a Regiment member of The Royal Winnipeg Rifles (Little Black Devils) 8th BATTALION C.E.F.. Later, he served at the Nuremberg Trials as a guard. As an honoured veteran, Joseph will be buried in the Field of Honour at Brookside Cemetery, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Joseph worked at several mines upon his return from the war. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and adventuring. Joe helped raise three generations, impacting family across Canada and earning him the nickname "Rambo". Joseph's greatest wish was fulfilled prior to his passing, locating his ancestry, including his father's burial place. Joseph Winzoski was descended by way of the Noble Family WIAZOWSKI and Noble Family WIDMANSKI of Poland. His happiest moment was reading the 1786 Royal Proclamation to his family from Stanisaw August Poniatowski (King of Poland) at the Manitoba Museum in 2013.

Today Dad we said our last good-byes, I knew when you took your last breath here it would be your first breath in heaven and through our Lord Jesus Christ our saviour you will be reunited with all your loved ones. Through all your struggles and strife in your life Dad you had a great constitution, you were the "best" to travel with. I remember when we were in California and the ice melted and rotted all the sausages and meat and we had to throw it out You and Mum slept on the ground when rattlesnakes were in abundance because we couldn't afford a motel room. Carla and I opted out for sleeping in the camper when it was 105 degrees as we were too opposed to sleeping on the ground with snakes. Then the next morning when we were all suffering the ravages of heat stroke and Carla and I were acting like brats saying we were going to run away and you said you were "losing your mind" and started singing the song the OLD Chisolm Trail. Lyrics according to the old tune: I woke one morn with a rope in my hand and cow by the tail singin \kyee Yippie, Yippie,... Hippie hey. This is just one fond memory of you Dad, I for the most part will remember you with laughter in my heart. Walk on little big minded soldier, until we meet again you will always be walking with me until I take my last breath; then I will join you on the Old Chisolm Trail. Love you forever Dad, just a matter of time until we meet again. - Posted by: Rosemarie Doreen Peitsch (daughter) on: May 20, 2014
