Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBRANICK (BRANY) PETERSON Peacefully on Tuesday, April 9, 2013 Branick (Brany) Peterson of Winnipeg passed away at Maples Personal Care Home, at the age of 92 years. Brany was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He will be forever remembered by his loving family: sons Dennis (Glenda) and Brent (Irene) and their families. He was predeceased by his adoring wife of 62 years, Ruth, and their daughter Sharon. As a proud Second World War veteran, Brany served as an aircraft mechanic. In later years he worked for Air Canada. He also owned and operated Peterson's Autobody for over 40 years. Brany's skills as an accomplished "bodyman" were known by friends and relatives who were often amazed by his ingenuity and inventiveness. You could always count on Brany to lend a helping hand for any project. In his retirement, Brany took great pride in building his cottage at Shoal Lake, Ontario and sharing it with friends and family. He loved spending time with his grandsons. He enjoyed fishing, boating, snowmobiling, motorcycling and was always singing a happy tune or whistling as he went through life. A Celebration of Brany's Life will be held on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in Headingley United Church, 110 Bridge Road with Rev. George Davidson officiating. Thank you to all the staff of Seven Oaks Hospital and Maples Care Home who provided such wonderful care for Brany. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association would be appreciated. Wojcik's Funeral Home & Crematorium, www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com, 204-586-8668.

My condolences on his passing. I've heard of him, but never met him. I am currently doing a family tree for Peterson and am interested in contacting Brent or Dennis on getting information about Brany's father Joseph Peterson (former family name of Piotrowicz) and his wife Katherine. - Posted by: John Pesto (1st Cousin 1x removed) on: Apr 17, 2013

I am honored to have known Brany. He was always willing to help and educate me in the finer ways of body work and painting. Even though we were competitors in the business, he was more of a mentor and helper for us and the industry. - Posted by: Roy Sobchuk (Old time friend) on: Apr 16, 2013
