RALPH (BOOMER) WAZNY Suddenly on January 13, 2000, Ralph Wazny of Anola, MB., father and grandfather of Danny (Vanessa Nowicki), Kelly (Bonnie, Dylan, Hailie) and Kim (Jamie Richter, Kenzie), passed away at home. Ralph was born April 7, 1936, the first of 10 children born to John and Rose Wazny of Anola, MB. He spent most of his life in that area. He had attended Queens Valley School in Vivian until Grade 6. He started working in the City for Consolidated Motors/South Park, became a licensed mechanic and then at construction outfits, JD Construction where he became an ace diesel mechanic, Northstar Construction and numerous more. He enjoyed being outdoors, working on equipment, and taking walks in the fields and woods, especially with his little dog Muffin, checking out the wildlife that may have been around. Boomer was known for his generosity and companionship at the Anola Village Inn, with never a refusal to help someone fix something, or give advise on how to do something. He could take apart anything and had the smarts on how to put it back together. He lived a simple life, with no wants for luxuries or possessions, just some compansionship, a warm place and something to eat and drink. Ralph was predeceased by his mother Rose (Feb 22, 1991), brother Lorne (Feb 27, 1976) and three other infant siblings, Donald, Dolores and Jackie. The way he was and his actions will never be forgotten by his father John, his brothers, sisters, in-laws and nieces and nephews, Norman (Jean, Gordon and Theresa, Susan, Mark and Jessi) Ronnie, Johnny (Eileen, Peggy and Michael), Pat Skipper (Herb, Sherri, Scott, Su, Danielle, Jordan and Diane Mozil (Darrel and Dallas).
