RON OLYNICK It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Ron, who passed away on March 15, 2003 at the age of 58 at the Beausejour Hospital. Ron was born April 9, 1944 in Landerville, MB. He went to school and lived in the Lac du Bonnet area as a teenager. Later on he worked at the mine in Thompson for a few years. He also worked at Zolondek Bros., plumbing with an uncle, stuccoing, and also for the Department of Highways until he was married in September of 1965. Together with his wife Judy, he moved to Winnipeg, where he worked for C.P.R., then later started with the Winnipeg Fire Department in 1970, until he became ill January 1993. Ron loved wildlife, the beauty of nature, camping and fishing, especially with his bud Jake. He looked forward to spring when he could pick his favourite mushroom, the morelle. He loved woodworking, playing bingo, watching curling and golf and was a whiz at crossword puzzles. He also loved playing card games when the family got together. Ron was predeceased by his sister in infancy, his father Mike in 1987; father-in-law Mike Bosak in 1988, and mother-in-law Jessie in 1997.

Also left to cherish his memory are his sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, many cousins, nieces and nephews and friends.
