Allan and Rose made our visit to Saskatchewan a memorable event. He was a joy to be with all the time and never ceased to amaze us with his skills and knowledge. His passing was a complete shock to all of us in the east. Sad that we can not have another beer together chatting and listening to stories from the past. May you rest in total peace Cousin.

I haven't seen Uncle Al in years but I have a memory that has stuck with me from one of the few times we stayed at the farm. It was my first time looking into a grain silo, seeing hunted deer hanging in the hunting shed, and I will never forget how tasty the peas (I think) were from the garden. When people ask me about what a real salt of the earth Canadian is like. I describe Uncle Al. From Rebecca and I, take care.

Oh my dear brother, you have no idea how much I am going to miss you & your colourful stories & jokes! You could seamlessly go between English & Ukrainian & knew exactly when to use the right word for maximum effect! Your story about peeking in through the window at Baba & Gido Demyd’s while they watched a very snowy TV is one I’ll never forget & will always laugh about.
I am so sorry you are gone & my heart is broken. You knew so much about so much & could have intelligent...

It is with heavy hearts that the family of the late Allan Pozniak announces his sudden passing on Friday, July 12, 2024, at the age of 71 years.

He helped his dad and brother, Gerald, farm in between jobs. In 1974, he met his future wife, Rose Marie, at the Lunn Hotel in Canora, where she was working. They got married in October 1975. They purchased their current homestead in April 1976 and started their family. They were blessed with two children, Allan Kenneth, and Heather Marie. Allan continued working jobs and farming and ultimately decided to farm full-time in 1985 with his dad and brother.He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and visiting family. He loved when his grandchildren came to stay over and they all enjoyed the before bed cookies and milk snack routine he started with each of them, including the dog, Molly. He will be most remembered for his love of hearing a good story, and the telling of a good story, even if you tried not to count how many times he said the word "whatever."He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.Allan was predeceased by his grandparents, Alex and Katie Demyd and Harry and Mary Pozniak; his father, Peter; his parents-in-law, George and Sophie Kuzek; and his youngest sister and brother-in-law, Marianne and Regg Fogg.He is survived by his wife, Rose Marie; his son, Allan Jr. and his wife, Heather; his daughter, Heather and her partner, Michael; his grandchildren: Xander, Peyton, Chloe, and Natalie; his mother, Olga; and his sisters and brothers: Sandra, Gerald (Deb), Karen, Margaret (Mark), Shirley, and Ivan (Monica); as well as many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends. A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, July 19, 2024, from the Chapel of Leson’s Funeral Home, Canora, SK, with Rev. Fr. Ivan Simko officiating.
