STAN CHERWONKA It is with great sadness our family announces the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Stan Cherwonka, on April 28, 2011, at his home in St. Thomas, ON. Left to cherish Stan's memory are his loving wife of 35 years, Nancy (Kohut), sons Gerry (Kroa), Mark and Jamie, grandsons Dallas and Dylan, brothers Leonard (Sheila), Eugene (Maxine), sisters Violet (Walter), Eleanor, sisters-in-law Theresa, Elsie (Alex), Sonya (John), Joanny (Frank), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends. Predeceased by his parents Stanley and Anna, brother Bob, sister-in-law Doreen, and brother-in-law Allan. Born in Edmonton on April 4, 1943, Stan was working at the Research Council of Alberta in 1970 where he met the love of his life, Nancy. While working for Mackenzie and Feimann (later Quadra Chemicals), he was soon transferred to Winnipeg where he and Nancy made their home for 28 years. In 2005 Stan's career led them to southwestern Ontario where they settled in their cozy home in St. Thomas and had hopes and dreams of spending many retirement years together. He continued to work for Quadra until his retirement in August 2010. Stan was an extremely devout Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus in Winnipeg at Holy Redeemer Parish. He was known to be a gentle and kind man who was always respectful of others, extremely proud of his sons and grandsons, and loved his family with all his heart. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Anne's Church in St. Thomas, ON, on May 3, 2011. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Always in our hearts
