Peter Kansky Obituary
Peter Kansky was born in Gimili, Manitoba on October 6, 1920. He grew up in Winnipeg Beach with his parents Tatianna (Wazilowski) and John Kanski and 7 siblings. From friendly Manitoba he moved to beautiful BC to work in forestry and raise a family with his wife Shirley (Larson) Kansky in Cranbrook, BC. His retirement years were spent in sunny Kelowna, BC.
He had a passion for the outdoors, fishing, camping, gardening, various sports and reading history. He was a wonderful father/grandfather who was hardworking, helpful, caring, generous and always had a smile to give. Peter enjoyed sharing stories of his past; as a WWII veteran he often spoke of his travels through Europe. With a calm attitude, positive energy and much love of life and people ... he achieved his goal to live to 100 years.
Peter passed away peacefully on January 15, 2021 in Kamloops, BC. (Special thanks to the staff at Ponderosa Lodge). He is predeceased by his wife Shirley and sisters Mary, Helen, Karolina and Pauline. He is survived by his brothers Bill and Mike and sister Nellie, his sons Kevin and Greg and grandkids Kyle and Jenna. Peter left a lasting impression on many people.
He will be deeply missed.

Peter was my grandfather William Kanski older brother. I was lucky enough to talk to him before his passing was a very nice man.
