EDWARD HUNCHAK 

January 13, 1931 March 8, 2015 

Peacefully Ed passed away at the age of 84 years. He was predeceased by wife Mary. 

Ed was born in Pine Falls and had a natural musical talent. From entertaining the barnyard chickens with two sticks for a fiddle at the age of four to having his own band and entertaining many people throughout the years at various events this is what he loved to do. Farm life was not Ed's calling, so he moved to Winnipeg and married Mary Kolpak in 1953. 

Ed worked at Canadian Linen Supply throughout most of his working life, beginning as a driver and retiring as a retention manager, all the while performing music in his spare time. Ed could play just about any instrument he picked up, but his two favorites were the saxophone and the fiddle. When Ed was in his twenties his Thunder River Boys band cut an album, and when he was in his seventies he made a music CD with his Uncle John. Sadly due to declining health Ed had to give up performing with the Cavaliers, a band he played with for many years, but his friendship with some of his band members continued to the end. 

 Thank you for wonderful memories to fill our empty hearts.
