Maurice (Moe) Allan Wozniak
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maurice (Moe) Allan Wozniak. Moe died peacefully on August 23, 2021 with his partner Karen, his children, Ryan and Kristin, and his sister Sandra by his side.
An obituary cannot begin to describe the life that Moe lived and the person that he was. Moe was charmingly controversial, always regaling his friends with stories that would make you double over with laughter or shake your head in disbelief. He was truly one of a kind, tackling life’s challenges with a style and cleverness unmatched by any other.
Whether you were meeting Moe for the first time or you had known him his whole life, he always made you feel welcome. His laugh was infectious, and even in his worst moments, you couldn’t help but be charmed by his wit and love of life. When you put a trombone in his hands, you couldn’t help but be wowed by his amazing talent.
From defeating nagging telemarketers to passionately saving cedar trees and everything in between, Moe knew exactly how to rock the boat when he wanted, and always amassed fans and supporters along the way. He was someone like no other, and chances are, no one will ever come close to bringing to our lives what Moe brought to them every day.
Born on April 2, 1951 in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, Moe is survived by his partner Karen, son Ryan and his wife Jesstina, daughter Kristin and her partner Greg, step-daughter Ginger, four grandchildren (Max, Evelia, Haseeba, and Griffin), five siblings (Sandra, Barbara, Stuart, Perry, and Penny), countless lifelong friends including Marsha K, Ian C, Herb P, Dan B, Charlie G, Dave D, Dave J, Bob & Jane H, committed neighbours, the supportive Canadian music community, and his Toastmasters crew.
He truly believed that it was “great to be alive!”, and that’s exactly how he lived.
An informal celebration of life will be held at a later date. Details to come.
