MEDYNSKI, Walter R. Aug. 7, 1927 - Jan. 7, 2014 Peacefully at St. Boniface Hospital on Tuesday, January 7, 2014, our beloved father and grandfather Wally Medynski passed away at the age of 86 years. Left to cherish his memory are daughters Sandra, Dawn (George) Dierickse and special grandson Daniel; sisters Judy (Laverne) Fox and Olga (Bill) Burma. Wally was predeceased by his wife Laura (Crealock) and brothers Bill, Archie and Stan. Walter was raised in the Okanagan Valley. He began his working career with the railway in BC. After that, he joined the RCAF in 1953 as an Aero Engine Technician. While stationed in Portage la Prairie, he met and married Laura. His career took them to St. Hubert, Ottawa, where they started their family, and Trenton, where Wally retired in 1978 after 25 years in the Air Force. Their next move was to Winnipeg where Wally worked for Boeing until his retirement in 1989. He and Laura then moved to Westbank, BC. Walter returned to Winnipeg in November 2012 to be closer to his family. Over all the years, travel (especially camping) was very important to Wally and his family. He also loved to garden and was proud of his flowers and fruit trees. A celebration of Walter's life will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 2:30 p.m. in Crestview United Church, 316 Hamilton Avenue. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St Boniface Hospital Palliative Care Unit. wojciksfuneralchapel.com
