KOSLOSKI - It is with great sadness that the family of John Kosloski of Leross, SK announces his peaceful passing at the age of 85 years at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre in Dauphin, MB on Thursday, November 14, 2013. John was born March 4, 1928 in Poland and immigrated to Canada at the age of 2 on June 21, 1930. They settled on a farm north of Jasmin, SK until 1945 when they moved to a farm south of Kelliher. He married Helen on October 18, 1949 and lost her, the love of his life, on June 23, 2012. He remained on the farm but went to Dauphin, MB to live with Georgina & Alex for the winter months in 2012 and again at the end of September 2013. John loved to be on the farm where he could watch the animals and birds. In his younger days he loved reading, trapping and snowmobiling. He also treasured the times he got to go hunting and fishing with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He always enjoyed company, especially when the grandchildren and great-grandchildren came to visit. During the winter months you could always count on a puzzle being spread across the kitchen table and an invitation to help put it together. He was predeceased by his wife Helen (Komodowski), parents John and Mary Kosloski, brother Walter, sister Annie Michalski and grandsons Michael & David Leonard.
