1937-2022
At Portage District Hospital in the early morning hours of Tuesday November 8th, 2022, Wayne Paul Kaminsky passed away peacefully surrounded by his family.
Wayne was born to Paul and Clara Kaminsky on August 21, 1937. He was the eldest of three children.
He will be remembered and sadly missed by his wife of 53 years Jenny. His Three children: Roxanne (Nathan) Hawkins, grandchildren, Dane, Jenna and Willem. Kenneth (Maria), grandchildren, Nicolas, Noah and Ivy. Jonathan (Kylie), grandchildren, Zeke and Madelyn.
He will also be remembered by his brother Brian (Barbara) and brother-in-law Gary Karlowsky. Also remembering him are sister and brother-in-law Lena (Richard) and Peter (Stephanie) and many more nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased in death by his parents Paul Leo Kaminsky and Clara Bertha Kaminsky (nee) Schrof and his sister Barbara Anne Karlowsky who also passed away on October 8th 2022.
He was baptized October 30th 1937 and confirmed June 8th 1952 at St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Brunkild, MB. His formative years were at Brunkild School, graduating in June of 1953. He went on to attend M.I.T. where he studied diesel mechanics.
Life for Wayne meant the family farm and the community around him. Retiring from the farm wasn’t a word that fit into Wayne’s vocabulary. Tragically the onset of a long painful complicated battle with rheumatoid arthritis forced him into retirement. The farm was the place he called home and so it was until God called him home.
We would like to thank the staff at Portage District Hospital for the care, support and compassion shown to Wayne during his hospital stay.
Funeral service for Wayne will take place on Thursday, November 17th 2022 at 1:00 pm at St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Brunkild, MB. Interment to follow at St. Pauls Cemetery.
