JOE BOSAK
He will be greatly missed by his niece Barbara and her family, niece Lucy and her family and nephew Kaz (Helen). Joe was predeceased by his wife Sophie in 2009.
Joe was born in Poland on November 4, 1920 where he spent his young years. When the war broke out, he was taken to a Labor Camp in Germany. There he met and married Sophie and after the war was over, they immigrated to Canada.
In 1949, Joe started to work for Balcaen and Sons in Selkirk. He loved being busy, there was no job that was too big or too small for Joe. He later worked for TNT Plumbing and Heating and really enjoyed working there and spoke highly of the company. Joe always took great pride in his work and was respected by many.
Joe was a very strong Catholic, his strong love for God was unwavering. He was a member of Notre Dame Parish, where he was on the Parish Council. He was an active member with the Knights of Columbus and earned the Fourth Degree honorary life membership, which he was very proud of.
When his friend's daughter joined the convent, Joe was introduced to St. Benedict Sisters and became their friend. He enjoyed their company and often visited them. The Sisters also made numerous visits to his home and later continued to visit him at the Red River Place. When any obstacle got in his way, he amazed us all with his perseverance and sheer determination to overcome it. Joe would never give up until he accomplished what he set out to do.
He was one amazing man, his intelligence and genuine caring always showed in his eyes. Joe was loved and respected by his family. He will be greatly missed.
The family would like to express their appreciation to the nurses and staff at the Red River Place for their kind care during his stay there.
Due to restrictions, a private Mass will be celebrated on December 13, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. at the Notre Dame Church. It will be livestreamed and a link will be provided in his obituary at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com.

We will miss and always

Joe worked with my Dad many many yrs ago. I also went to catechism with Barb and Lucy his nieces, I found the entire family genuine and friendly. There was never a time when I saw Joe at church that he did not stop to shake my hand and he always knew who I was. I know throughout the yrs my Dad worked with Joe the developed a good friendship even after Dad was injured at work in the early 70’s and had to take early retirement. My sincere sympathies to his family. He lived a long life and devoted his life to God…May he Rest In Peace Carole.

I have known Joe and his wife Sophie since I lived at home with my parents Joe and Pauline Banash, they were both the kindest people I knew. I visited Joe in the red river care home when I was there visiting family. He still knew who I was. Rest in peace Joe. - Posted by: Joan Bosko (Banash) (Friend) on: Dec 11, 2021
