Date of Passing: Jun 23, 2007
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKENNITH WILLIAM HANESIAK It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Dad on June 23, 2007, Dad was born September 13, 1944. He leaves behind his six grandchildren; daughters, Amanda, Tracey and Rebecca; loving aunts, Rose, Helen; uncles, cousins and friends; his sister Catherine; and his present wife Shirley. Ken was predeceased by his mother and father Irene and Bill Hanesiak; first wife Tessa Hanesiak; cousin John Hanesiak; aunts, Mary and Francis; uncles, Peter and John; and Wiskers, our family cat. Ken will be remembered fondly for his great love of music - we grew up with B.T.O. Playing the guitar was a passion of his and he could be heard throughout the house often. Ken was a hard worker, often holding two jobs. He worked at R. Kliffer and Son for many years and took pride in his job. He also worked at the Winnipeg Inn many years ago as a bartender and would come home and tell us of the famous people he would meet. When Ken wasn't at work, he was working outside in the yard with his amazing heart-shaped rock garden or cleaning his kidney-shaped pool, or downstairs, shining up his custom made bar, listening to his music. Whatever he did, he did it with passion. Ken came from a large family with many loving aunts, uncles and cousins, but whether it was partying and dancing with friends or trying to beat the aunties at cribbage, Ken liked to have a good time wherever he was. You will be missed, Dad, by many friends and family.

I first met Ken when I applied for a job at Kliffer Agencies. Ken hired me and gave me my first job. I couldn't have asked for a better boss. Ken always treated me with respect and was more than willing to take the time to talk with me. I learned a great deal from Ken personally and work related. It was a joy to work along side Ken for the years I did and I truly feel blessed that I got to know him. My deepest sympathy to all of Ken's family and friends. - Posted by: Jordan Roman (Co-Worker) on: Jul 17, 2007

What a kick in the chest this man's passing is to those of us who remember the head shipper at Kliffer who hid his kind heart and enormous ability to empathize with anyone behind the rough, tough exterior. My heart goes out to Shirley and the rest of Ken's family and friends who have to go on without him. His understanding, savy sense of humour and wisdom that he shared has me even today pulling advice he once gave out of my memory bank. A very sad Farewell to the best boss ever. - Posted by: Geoff Fern (Co-Worker) on: Jul 11, 2007
