November 25, 1942 ~ September 4, 2019
It is with great sadness we announce the
passing of Poke Prins after a lengthy battle with cancer, a man thought by his
family to be indestructible.
He leaves behind his partner of 44 years
Gisèle Marion, his children Barbara Warren
and Don Prins and Ed Marion and wife Elaine.
He was predeceased by his siblings Renée, Claire, Peter, Alice (Wayne) and Cecil. He will be missed by his surviving siblings
Verna Kancylarski, Rita Dillabough, John and Roy Prins.
Poke was born in Dokkum in the Netherlands
and immigrated to Selkirk in the 50’s.
He was an avid fisherman, hunter, golfer, snowmobiler and enjoyed his
years grooming the Lee River Snoriders trails.
He had many talents and would tackle any project; he was a perfectionist
at whatever he undertook. He was always
available for advice whether you wanted it or not.
Our thanks go out to Dr. Bruneau and his
angels at Pinawa CancerCare. In lieu of
flowers, donations can be made to Pinawa CancerCare.
Celebration of Life to be announced at a
later date.
In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years!
