He was predeceased by his parents, Annie and Peter Chernetski; sisters, Mary (Tony) Kolbuck, Sophie (Peter) Hlady; brothers, Pat and Harvey Chernetski. Also in-laws, William and Anatashia Kosack; brothers-in-law, Dave (Jean) Kosack, John, Harry, Mike (Olga), Andrew, Steve, Alex, Nick and Bill Kosack; and beloved sister-in-law Eva (Paul) Boyko. Alex will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Anne (Kosack) of 54 years of marriage; daughters, Elaine, Janice (son-in-law Mike Panteluk); sons, Kenneth (Cathy) and Alexander Jr. (daughter-in-law Penny) Chernetski; and the joy of his life his five grandchildren, Jennifer (Mitch), Christa, Marshall Chernetski, Melissa and Melanie Panteluk; along with his Pretty Bird Josie his cockatiel. Auntie Eva Oneschuk and Godchildren, Barbra Foster and Judy Belecki and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Alex was born July 25, 1922 from the Poplar Park area. Alex is the son of Peter and Anne (Lysack) Chernetski. Alex and Anne were married July 28, 1951. Alex and Anne stayed on the Chernetski Family homestead west of Libau with Alex's parents. In the 1950s water from Lake Winnipeg flooded great portions of the family farm. After giving up all hopes of the water receding to its normal level they sold the farm in 1952 and moved to Winnipeg. In partnership with his parents, Alex and Anne purchased a grocery store in the north end of Winnipeg on Derby Street. They named it the A P Grocery Store (for Alex and Peter) then sold the store in 1955 and moved to the West End and lived there until 1968. Dad worked very hard with the CNR for 35 years until his retirement in 1987. Alex and Anne with their children then moved to North Kildonan. After retirement Dad enjoyed doing carpentry, fishing, wine making, bingo and spending lots of time with his family and friends. Dad's pastime included golfing with C.O.F. and curling at East St. Paul and active in both 10 pin and 5 pin bowing leagues. Dad was always ready to lend a helping hand to family or friends in need. He was a compassionate husband, father, grandfather and friend and he will be missed and remembered by all. It was his love for his family and friends that fuelled his courageous struggle against cancer. Dad cherished his grandchildren and always talked highly of them. The family would liked to thank Dr. Oscar Domke for many years of care and the dedicated staff on N1 at Concordia Hospital during his stay there. Heart filled thanks to the many family and friends that visited Dad and thank you Father Alexandr for the countless times you came when we called. A funeral service honouring Alexander's life will take place on Thursday, February 2, 10:30 a.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3G 0C9. GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be. He closed His arms around you And whispered, Come to Me . In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. What you suffered, you told us few, You didn't deserve what you went through. Tired and weary, you made no fuss But tried so hard to stay with us. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain, We could not wish you back To suffer all that again. Arrangements entrusted to: Glen Eden Funeral Home 4477 Main Street 338-7111 Family and friends are invited to sign the Book of Condolences at www.gleneden-mb.ca.

Hi Dad, just thinking of you today. Looking at your picture remembering all the things you did. Nobody pulled any April Fool pranks. You were the champ at that. I'm having a bit of hard times lately. Taking its toll on me. Can't do much lately. Too tired and sore. Your Granddaughters are growing up fast. Wish they had the opportunity To of met you. Mike is still doing ok, but has a lot of health issues. He'll never recover from this. So it's day by day. This pandemic we are having has done a lot of damage to everyone. Moms dementia is slowing affecting her. She wants to go into a nursing home but they say she doesn't qualify. She had some bad falls were she had to get stitches on her head. Please watch over all of us and give me a sign you are still with us. LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TERRIBLY ❤❤❤❤❤ - Posted by: Janice Panteluk (Daughter) on: Apr 08, 2021

Hi dad. Missing you a lot. Life is hard for me. I am getting tired. Wishing you were with us. I know things would be different. We would be more of a family and no favoritism and playing one against each other. You now have 3 beautiful great granddaughters one going on to be 4, one just turn 1 on Monday, one just turned 1 this past October. They would be talking up a storm with you. They are sneaky. Love you forever. - Posted by: Janice Panteluk () on: Jan 03, 2017

Hi papa, I'm thinking of you today and many days that past. I want you to know you have a wonderful and beautiful great-Granddaughter named Blake and she's going to be 2 in Jan. I wish you two could meet because I know you both would hit it off from the start. I do say I wish you were here with us because you're the glue of our family and you made sure everyone was loved. Things changed over the years and I wish you were not the change because you were everything to the family. You are deeply missed and I miss you more than words can say and tell. Love you forever, love you for always. - Posted by: Melanie Rideout (Grand daughter) on: Dec 05, 2014
