ERNIE MICHAEL BOKLASCHUK
April 10, 1938 - January 23, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, with family by his bedside.
He leaves behind to mourn his children, Donna (Terry), Garry (Linore), Gord (Marlene) and April (Rob); grandchildren, Deena, Nahleena, Erin, Sean (Brittany), Derek (Carly), Devon (Regan), Damon, Kane and Avery; great-grandchildren, Lennyn, Cole, Mason, Jamieson, Gunnar and Theo.
He was predeceased by his loving wife Grace, of 57 years. Lovingly remembered by siblings, Barb, Bev, Jen and Dave; sister-in- law Pearl, and many nieces and nephews.
Ernie had a diverse career - carpenter, building inspector and pilot. Having obtained his pilots license in his early years, he carried that passion into future business, Central Aero Flight and Interlake Air-Spray. Besides loving his family, Ernie loved his animals big and small.
The family would like to thank Auntie Barb for being there for Dad over the past months. Her caring heart was greatly appreciated.
Funeral service will be Thursday, January 28, 2021 at 10:00 a.m.

Due to the current Covid restrictions it will be a closed service with a live stream option

  • So sad to hear of Ernies passing. He has been on my mind for the past week and now I know why. When I first met your dad and mom, I thought he was a gruff old bugger but turned out to be just a big pussy cat. We had a lot of good times together. Janice, Bert, Grace and Larry are there helping him get his new wings. Also with a big tall drink. May all your memories be good ones. - Posted by: Lorraine (Friend) on: Jan 27, 2021
