WILLIAM G. GRABOWSKY
1921 – 2015
On Tuesday, June 30, 2015 Bill passed away peacefully in his sleep at the Golden Links Lodge Personal Care Home, at the age of 93 years, and now rests with his Lord.
Left to remember Bill are his three sons, Ray (Erma), William (Yvonne) and David (Ana); eight grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren; sister Alice Hanna; brother Lawrence; and sister-in-law Ruth Publicover. He was predeceased by his wife, Geraldine; son Charles; parents Charlie and Lena; brother Allan; as well as brother-in-law Ray Eberle.
Bill served in the Air Force during the Second World War and was very proud to do his part for his country but Bill was farmer by heart. He farmed for many years in the Brunkild, Manitoba area and also worked for the Rural Municipality of Macdonald, Manitoba, as their district weed supervisor for 21 years, retiring in 1985. In retirement Dad and Mom enjoyed many trips to Arizona with their motor home and made many friends during their winters away. Bill recently fractured his hip and despite successful surgery could not make the steep climb back into our lives.
A private Funeral Service for Bill will held at a later date for family and friends.
Our family would like to thank all of the doctors, nurses and aids at both the Victoria and Seven Oaks Hospital for their excellent and compassionate care of our Dad. Our thanks as well to both the Riverview Health Centre in the last year and most recently the Golden Links Lodge staff for their care and concern and making our Dads last days as comfortable as possible.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Bill to a charity of choice.
