Edward Cwynar
1937 - 2024
Edward Joseph Cwynar was born February 17, 1937 in the family's home and raised on a farm in Glenavon, SK. Third born of 7 children.
He attended Campion College in Regina for grades 11 and 12. He enjoyed playing the guitar and his passion was the fiddle. One of his favourite memories recalled was playing in a band with his brothers.
He was a skilled tradesman, a welder during the installation of the Trans-Canada Pipelines across Canada. After many years, travelling on the road for work, he retired at 70 and made his home in Moose Jaw. His retirement years were spent unscheduled with walking, biking, soup making and driving to visit family and friends. He enjoyed his sister's home cooking and playing his fiddle for hours of enjoyment. At 85, he was still taking bike rides when he had an accident, changing his address to the beautiful grounds of Chateau St. Michael, where he rehabilitated. Walking again, enjoying sunshine ice-crème, and his six grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, 1 great-granddaughter he looked forward to meeting.
To all he was known as kind and gentle. His was a great steward of all he was given. He lived simple to be healthy and honouring others. He had no fear of death and was ready to meet his heavenly family and home. He passed away peacefully at day break on June 1, 2024.
He is survived by his daughter Penelope "Penny" (Dalton) Barr; grandchildren Jacob, Tegan (fiancée Whitney Klassen), Emmy; great grandchildren, Sirocco, Isabeau, Eddie and Johnnie; daughter Deborah (Ken) Harrison; grandchildren Annie, Jussie (Ben) Hnatiuk; great-granddaughter Gigi, Katie (Jonah)Waldner.

Heartfelt thanks to the staff at Chateau St Michael the last three years for their caring hearts.
