Obituary of EDMOND KLAPECKI

EDMOND GODFREY KLAPECKI July 19, 1928 - October 19, 2013 Ed passed away in the presence of his family, in hospital, after a brief period of illness. He was ready to reunite with his previously deceased wife Dallas, whom he so deeply missed since her passing in 1997. He is sorely missed by his daughter and son, Karyn from Toronto and Keith from Winnipeg. and his dear daughter-in-law Danielle from Winnipeg. He is already terribly missed by his grandchildren Danylo and Alexa from Toronto, and Tyler and Natalie from Winnipeg, and their partners. He had just met his great grandchild Kingston, from Toronto, who will always have a twinkle in his eye from Ed. He is survived by his sister Wanda Chrobak, and many nieces and nephews across Canada and the Far East. Ed, and the Klapecki family, were parishioners of the Holy Ghost Church for generations. He was an altar boy and met his wife Dallas at a church function. He worked for CN rail and then apprenticed at MacDonald Brothers in the Sheet Metal business. Courageously he decided to start a new business 50 years ago - Advance Sheet Metal - which he was so proud of, and was grateful to his son Keith, and grandson Tyler, for taking it on and continuing in his tradition. He was dedicated, and the long and hard work he did was also supported by his faithful work college and companion Lloyd Little. He lived many wonderful years in the winters in Mesa Arizona with his wife Dallas. They had wonderful trips south with his brother Ted and wife Eleanor, as well as his dear friends Ron and Marlene Fincaryk. He was the 'ultimate driver' and once drove us all across Canada and the USA, with the goal of attending a family wedding in San Diego. Above all he loved and believed in family. He loved golfing and had buddies on the courses in Winnipeg and Arizona. We will all miss his determination and capricious smile and twinkle. Thank you to Dr. Michael Szul for looking in on Dad at crucial times. Thanks to Dr. Buchel and the nurses at Seven Oaks Hospital for your loving medical care. Thank you to all of you out there, for your prayers and loving send- off for Ed. We know he will be smiling in deep appreciation from above.
