Frank and Margaret Sawicki – my uncle and aunt

This page is dedicated to my uncle and aunt, Frank and Margaret Sawicki. I remember going to their farm and sitting on some old tractors. I also remember visiting with their kids in our youth. I have some good memories of time spent with their family.

The following is Frank’s obituary from the Dauphin Herald.

On Saturday August 1, 2009 Frank Sawicki passed away in Dauphin at the age of 90 years.

Frank was born on December 12, 1918 in Bield,  Manitoba to Levi (Leon) and Anne (Dulchyshen) Sawicki. He attended school in the Bield district and once he finished school he went to Toronto for a period of time and then he returned to Shortdale, Manitoba where he farmed with his brother Wally in the Valley River area. He then continued farming alone and sold farm machinery parts for 40 years. Frank also drove the school bus in Gilbert Plains for 9 years. Frank retired to Dauphin in 1993. He enjoyed buying and selling and driving around buying machine parts.

Frank was predeceased by his parents Anne and Levi, brother Joe and sister-in-law Kay, brothers Walter and Nick as well as sister Helen and brother-in-law Steve Lesiuk.

Left to cherish fond memories are Frank’s former wife Margaret, sons Leonard and wife Susan of Asquith, SK, Ken and wife Pam of Dauphin, MB, daughters Kathy and husband Randy Lotey of Kitchener, ON, Mary Wiebe of Prince Albert, SK, and Helen Korchak of Dauphin, MB. Sisters Adolla and husband Ted Jesmer of Winnipeg, MB, Mary Yakiwchuk of Aesmer, ON, brothers Stanley and wife Mary Sawicki of Sudbury, ON, and Edward Sawicki of Dauphin, MB, sisters-in-law Emily and Rose of Dauphin, MB as well as grandchildren Melissa, Krystal, Jeannette, Darren, Charlene, Amy, Neil, Ricky and Kerrie, four great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Should friends so desire, donations in memory of Frank may be made to the Alzheimerís  Society.
