EDWARD PAUL PAKNIS On Tuesday, January 26, 2016, Edward Paul Paknis passed away peacefully at Seven Oaks Hospital, at the age of 88 years, surrounded by his two loving daughters by his bedside. Edward will always be remembered and sadly missed by his wife, Jaroslawa Paknis; two daughters, Maria (Craig) Gosek and Angela Paknis. He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Adam, Joseph and Alycia Gosek; nephews and niece, Rev. Protodeacon Stefan Tyrawski (Maria), Jaroslawa, Jaworski (Marian) and Peter Tyrawski with their families; as well as numerous cousins, relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, John and Maria Paknis; and brother Waldy Paknis. On February 5, 1927, Edward was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was a hardworking man and worked for the Codville IGA for 25 years until his retirement in 1992. He was a very gentle, caring, loving, kindhearted man with a big strong heart. Edward's heart was pure as gold. He loved his family, they were his pride and joy. He mostly enjoyed their company and always looked forward to another visit. Edward had such a good sense of humour that would make everyone laugh. He would do anything for anyone and would help others if he could. He was a fan of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The family would like to express their most sincere thanks and appreciation to the doctors, nurses and staff at Seven Oaks Hospital and also Dr. Babick and staff at Holy Family Nursing Home for taking such good care of Edward in long term care.

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • I grew up on McIvor Avenue and knew Eddy, Waldy, and their parents very well. I was their Winnipeg Tribune paperboy and they also hired me to work on their mink ranch in the summer before I left for university. They were very kind to me. I am sorry to hear of Eddy's passing but am glad he lived a long life and a nice family. - Posted by: Karl Pfeifer, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Saskatchewan, now living in Melbourne, (friend) on: Feb 08, 2016

  • May your sorrows be lightened with your cherished memories. We are thinking of you in your time of sadness and grief. With our sympathies, Lucie, Paul and sons, Branden & Byren - Posted by: Lucie Diane Fedon (Cousin) on: Feb 07, 2016

  • I had the privilege of working with "Etchko" for many years. He was a true gentleman with a heart of gold. He was always helping others and had a work ethic like no one else. RIP my friend you will be truly missed. - Posted by: Grant Prokop (Co-Worker) on: Feb 03, 2016
