Walter Domanski

With deep sadness, we mourn the passing of Walter John Domanski, aged 94, on Thursday, June 8, 2023, in St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg.

He is survived by his daughter Allyson (Gary Kohlruss) and son Mark (Andrea) Domanski; grandchildren Mirissa Kohlruss (Laura Dang) and Gabriel Kohlruss, Cole and Reese Domanski; and many nieces and nephews.

Walter was predeceased by his beloved wife of 64 years, Verna (née Kotelo), his parents Anna (Lotecki) and Anton Domanski, and all seven of his older siblings: Frank (Katie) Domanski, John (Jean) Domanski, Mary (Nick) Bodnarchuk, Joe (Eileen) Domanski, Stanley (Adele) Domanski, Julie (David) Fain, Helen (Roy) Budd.

Walter grew up in Garson, MB, and married Verna, the beauty next door. He and Verna raised their family in Winnipeg and cottaged at Otter Falls.

Walter’s skills as a millwright machinist were prized by Dominion Malting, his employer until retirement at age 65. He served on the Whiteshell Cottagers’ Association Board of Directors for 17 years and volunteered at Our Lady of the Whiteshell Chapel.

There was nothing that that sharp-minded, practical handyman couldn’t build, fix, or take care of. An avid fisherman, a keen crib player, and an uncanny bowler, Walter loved nature, the outdoors, sports, his garden, and travel. He was a gentle, loyal, kind-hearted family man of few words but a quick wit, right to the end.

A funeral mass will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, June 16, 2023, at St. Alphonsus Church, 315 Munroe Ave, Winnipeg, with viewing starting at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow that day at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Garson, MB.
