Joseph Peter Malinowski
July 31, 1923 – November 28, 2016
With great sadness the family of Joe Malinowski announces his peaceful passing at Gimli Betel Nursing Home on Monday, November 28, 2016, at the age of 93 years.
To Dad, family meant everything and will be lovingly remembered by his son Robert (Penny); daughters Amelia (Brian) Humeny and Valerie (Randy) Hutch; daughter-in-law Judy Malinowski; sister Victoria (late Walter) Kaminski, 9 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren as well as numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews.
Dad was predeceased by his wife Rose; son Carl; parents Frank and Paulina; sister Emily and great granddaughter Jessica.
Dad was born on July 31, 1923 and lived his entire life in Gimli on the original homestead farm except for the past 6 years where he enjoyed living at the Waterfront Centre in Gimli. Dad was a jack of all trades and a master of many. Besides running the farm, Dad was a painter, fisherman, and owned and operated J&B Glass for many years. He also loved working as a heavy equipment operator at the Gimli Air Base. He proudly told of his winning the Western Canada Air Force Heavy Equipment Driving Competition in Edmonton and his Second Place finish at the Canada Wide Competition in Toronto in the late 1950’s (which he claims he should have been first). After the base closure, he then went to work at Seagrams (Diageo) until his retirement in 1985. He enjoyed living life to the fullest with his love of sports, especially hunting, golfing, curling and baseball where he was a pitcher hence his nickname of “Smokin’ Joe” Dad was a collector of tractors even though it would drive Mom crazy. He would always tell her it was for one of the boys!! Many people will fondly remember him as a practical joker. He never tired of them. Dad was always thankful for the special friendships he had with Gary McGregor and Father Art Seaman.
In his retirement Dad and Mom loved to travel. They went to Europe, many US states, including Hawaii and Alaska and also went right across Canada in their beloved motorhome.
We would like to thank the staff at the Gimli Home Care Service, Gimli Community Health Centre and Gimli Betel Nursing Home for the wonderful caring service you provided to our Dad over the past few years.
Memorial Mass will be held on Wednesday, December 7th, 2016 at 10:30 am at the St. Michael’s Church, Gimli, MB with Fr. Art Seaman officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St. Cyril & Methodius Cemetery, Box 92, Gimli, MB R0C 1B0.
