Obituary announcement for old comrade Darrell Stanley Zolinski

DARRELL STANLEY ZOLINSKI September 10, 1964 - August 15, 2017 Rembrandt, Manitoba It is with deep sadness that the family of Darrell Zolinski announces his passing at the age of 52 after a one year battle with brain cancer. Darrell was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Stanley and Lillian and grew up in North Kildonan along with his sister Candace and brother Darcy. Darrell played hockey and soccer and enjoyed bowling at a young age and displayed his mastery of the accordion at music competitions. Beginning in his early years, Darrell enjoyed a life-long friendship with his "lawless partners in crime" Doug, Brian, Craig and Jim. While still in his teens he joined the Canadian Forces Military Reserves and ultimately became fully enrolled in 1985. Darrell became a Radio Operator and began a full and distinguished military career that saw him serve his Country all over the world including Nicosia, Cypress; Lahr, Germany; Visoko , Bosnia and Herzegovina; Qunaytirah, Syria; and Kabul, Afghanistan, along with domestic postings in Borden, Calgary, Winnipeg, Kingston and Thunder Bay. It was during his final posting in Thunder Bay that he met and married the love of his life and his soul mate, Lynn. Together they led a very active life and enjoyed their winter home in Florida. Darrell retired from military service at the rank of Warrant Officer in 2013. He continued to serve the community as a Communications Officer for the OPP until 2015. Shortly thereafter, they decided to settle in Rembrandt, Manitoba. Darrell never hesitated to put others first regardless of the circumstances or risks and we are so very proud of his selfless service to the people of Canada and of the world. On one his many trips home Darrell and his Dad crafted a replica clay oven as a permanent addition to the Heritage Village in Arborg, Manitoba. Throughout his life, Darrell had an unparalleled thirst for knowledge, a love of literature and a passion for electronic gadgetry. His vast collection of books, electronic and scientific gizmos would amaze anyone. He was loved for his warm and gentle soul and very strong sense of family. He had a deep intellect and sense of humor that will forever leave us all blessed for simply having him in our lives. Darrell will live on forever in the hearts of his beloved wife Lynn, stepson Sean (Maria), granddaughter Rosalie, parents Stan and Lillian, sister Candace (Dwain), niece Danielle and nephew Andrew, brother Darcy, niece Mieko and nephew Matthew. Darrell will be missed by his mother-in-law Kathy, father-in-law Joe, along with many uncles, aunts, cousins and a large extended family. Darrell was predeceased by stepdaughter Deanna. A memorial and celebration of Darrell's life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on August 25 at Silver Community Hall. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to Dr. Graham and Dr. J. Beiko and to those that cared for Darrell throughout his illness. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Stonewall and District Health Centre Foundation Patio Project.

Obituary announcement for old comrade Norman Arthur Parish

NORMAN ARTHUR PARISH June 11, 1917 - August 25, 2017 Dad lived through many changes during his 100 plus years but was a quiet, unassuming gentleman through it all. He had been married to Eileen for 72 years when she passed away three years ago, having spent the last four months of their life together in West Park Manor. Dad served in the Signal Corp in the Belgium Campaign during the Second World War but rarely spoke of his war experiences. He returned to a business career and a family in Toronto where he lived until moving to Winnipeg with Eileen in 1991, at the age of 74. Norm was very proud of his two daughters Louise (Dave Kennedy) and Linda (Gord Johnstone) and always supported and encouraged them in their careers and life choices. His joy of family was expanded with four grandchildren Michael Kennedy (Amanda), Mark Kennedy, Heather Ring (Marshall) and Ian Johnstone (Tanya), and 10 great-grandchildren Daniel Kennedy and Taylor Heald, Cole Kennedy, Linnea, Juliet, Lucy and Bridget Ring, and Declan, Ty and Blake Johnstone. Dad not only served his country but also his community. He was an active member of the Presbyterian Church, having served as an elder on Session in both Toronto and Winnipeg. He also was a long-time member of the Kiwanis Club, joining in Toronto and continuing with the Kiwanis Club of Winnipeg. He was a recipient of the Mel Osborne Fellow Award for his service to Kiwanis and the Community. Family and friends had the opportunity to celebrate with Dad at his 100th Birthday Party with a theme of baseball, reflecting his love of baseball (which he played and coached as a young man) and his interest in all sports. As long as he was able, Dad enjoyed cheering for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren in their chosen sports. Norm is survived also by a brother Robert Parish (Peggy), and several nieces. The family wishes to thank the staff of West Park Manor who have served Mom and Dad and our family for 15 years of difficult times. Their kindness, thoughtfulness and tender care can't be forgotten. A memorial service will be held at Westwood Presbyterian Church on Friday, September 8, 2017 at 11:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to West Park Manor, 3199 Grant Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3R 1X2 or a charity of your choice.
