RALPH DOUGLAS BRINCHESKI
Ralph will always be loved by his partner Annette and her daughter Amber. He will forever be remembered and missed by his mother Florence, his sister Gina, his brothers, Bruce, Don (Maggie) and Chad (Valerie), nephews and nieces, Cory, Jane, Kris, Alex, Zachary, Daniel, Olivia, and great-nieces, Molly, Chastity and Rain. Ralph was predeceased by his father George and his grandmother Annie Swetz.
He was an extremely hard worker in his drilling and blasting career. Ralph created his own successful company R & B Contractors in Lac Du Bonnet. Before he started his own business, he worked for the firm of Brincheski Bros. Contractors.
He was very intuitive, and we were all fascinated with his problem-solving abilities. Anything and everything that needed to be fixed, he could always figure out. He took great care of his vehicles including his cars, trucks, boats, jet skis and RV, to name a few. Ralph took pride in his shop, and kept it exceptionally organized.
Ralph loved being at his most favourite destination in the world and that was his dock on the lake at The Shop. He worked on his property every year to make it special for all his family and friends. Ralph enjoyed his life and he always wanted to have a good time. We were all so fortunate that he let us share his beautiful place and helped us create wonderful memories together.
He had the best sense of humour ever! It was contagious and would lighten up your spirits and your day. Ralph was extremely adventurous, and he was a people person. He would talk to anyone and everyone. On vacations he would be the first one to meet new people and make friends. Being the handsome man that he was and having the gift of connecting with others was absolutely astonishing.
One of his biggest accomplishments of his lifetime was taking special care of his mother. Ralph was always there when she needed him most. We will forever be thankful for his thoughtfulness and kindness towards her. She will miss him profoundly.
We thank Annette and we know the struggles she has faced during this difficult time. Her strength and courage is admired. With all our hearts, we send a very special thank you to Dr. Bruneau and his staff at Pinawa Hospital. We are exceedingly grateful for the care given to Ralph and to our family.
If friends so desire, donations may be made to: The Pinawa Cancer Clinic, c/o Dr. Bruneau, 30 Vanier Drive, Pinawa, Manitoba, R0E 1L0.
