Peter John Krokosh

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Peter John Krokosh.  Peter passed away peacefully January 31, 2021 at the Winnipegosis Personal Care Home at the age of 91 years with his nephew Ron Pakulak at his side.

Peter was born in Fork River on the family farm, he went to Small Creek School, worked the family farm and then took it over when his parents retired and moved to town.  Peter worked various jobs over the years from commercial fishing in northern Manitoba to the diamond drills in Saskatchewan and BC.

He returned home to take care of mom when dad passed on. Peter had a big beautiful garden and a big flower garden in his yard which he took a lot of pride in.  He loved to pick vegetables and berries and preserving them.  He enjoyed various card games, doing puzzles and later playing bingo with friends at Winnipegosis PCH.

Peter will be lovingly missed by his sisters Mary Chernowas, Eileen Pakulak and Ann Degalman and brother Walter and sister-in-law Livina, brother-in-law Walter Kolsun, sister-in-law Vera Krokosh and numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and extended family members.

Peter was predeceased by his parents John and Jennie (Gregorash), brother Joseph, brother Mike and sister-in-law Pauline, brother Paul, sister Helen and brother-in-law Bill Elyshen, sister Josephine and brother-in-law Mike Sydor, sister Rose, sister Kay, brother-in-laws Nick Pakulak, Walter Chernowas, Dick Degalman and regretfully some nephews and nieces.

Our sincere gratitude to the staff at the Winnipegosis Personal Care Home for their care of Peter, the phone calls updating us and the support and care given to us and Peter during the last few weeks he was with us.  Thank you.
