Obituary for Stanley Walter Felkowsky
STANLEY WALTER FELKOWSKY
It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Stanley Felkowsky on Sunday, March 22, 2015 at the St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 88 years.
Stan was born on September 14, 1926 in San Jose, California, and moved to Saskatchewan with his family in 1927. In 1946, at the age of 20, Stan moved to Winnipeg and worked several jobs throughout his life, from a bellboy at the Royal Alexander Hotel to a salesman for McCormick’s, Henderson Directories and Killarney Printing. Even though family wanted him to retire he kept working to age 85.
Stan was a family man and spent his spare time with family and friends. In his youth he played junior hockey in Saskatchewan, he also enjoyed golf and curling. As he aged, his love for sports continued, as a spectator and he loved watching all of his favorite sports on television. Dad was an avid bird watcher, his favorite being the wren. Stan enjoyed his time with the “A&W Coffee Club” and went daily to meet with his friends, have coffee, tell stories and discuss the topics of the day.
Stan was predeceased by his parents, James and Ann, brothers, Orest and Michael, his loving wife of 59 years, Iris, and his son, Ward. Dad will be lovingly remembered by his daughter, Gail Plantje, granddaughter, Dru (Marc), great-grandson, Alex (Keleigh) and sister, Elsie (Frank) Chuchmuch.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff of 5E of St. Boniface Hospital for the care and compassion given to Stan and our family.
In keeping with Stan’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a memorial service celebrating his life will be held on Friday, March 27, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in the Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald Street.
