On December 28, 1943, Sonny was born at the St. Boniface Hospital and was the oldest child of Molly and Walter Evanuik. He was raised and grew up in Transcona and spent most of his years living in Winnipeg. Dad lived a simple life. Tried his best and did the most with what he had. He was extremely passionate and faithfully loyal to his religious beliefs. Dad loved all sports, watching his favourite teams, and encouraging us to be active in sports all thru our lives. This always brought him great pride. Dad grew up on early rock ‘n’ roll and listening to his favourite music always remained one of his joys. In his later years Dad received his greatest happiness from the love of his grandchildren. A private family graveside service will take place in Transcona Cemetery. Wojcik’s Funeral Chapels & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada 204.897.4665, is in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com “Dad will always be loved, sadly missed and in our hearts forever.
