William Luchinski Obituary

Published by Alberni Valley Times from Sep. 30 to Oct. 5, 2014.
LUCHINSKI, William It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of William "Bill" Luchinski in Port Alberni on September 27, 2014 at the age of 90. Bill was predeceased by his daughter Karen (1997) and her husband Keith Rowland (2001), his parents Gregor and Emilia; brothers: Pete, Anton, John, George and Frank; sisters: Eva, Mary, Lena and Millie. Bill will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 63 years, Catherine; his daughter Marla Peters (Jim); son Bill; granddaughter Alayna Peters; grandsons: Jesse Peters, Sean Rowland, Kevin Rowland (Chelsea) and Greg Rowland (Morgan); great grandchildren: Keiren, Kaydence and Drew as well as many nieces and nephews. Bill grew up and farmed on a homestead in Saskatchewan. He came to BC and worked as a faller at Sarita, Franklin and Cameron Divisions for 40 years. In retirement he spent many enjoyable hours working in his shop making cedar tables, chairs and planters. He could command a room with his humorous stories of which he had a limitless supply. In keeping with Bill's wishes, following cremation, there will be no service. Stories and condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.chapelofmemories.ca. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bill's memory may be made to a charity of your choice. Chapel of Memories Funeral Directors (250) 723-3633

Condolences to the family on the passing of your great grandfather, grandfather, father and friend. I've heard him spoken of fondly on a number of occasions by Alayna and have no doubt he was an amazing person. The thoughts and prayers of my family and I are with you during this difficult time. -- Veronica (Anna & Ken) Fox

I miss my Grandpa very much. Whenever we saw each other he would say "How's my favourite Granddaughter?" and I would say "Grandpa, I'm your only granddaughter!" I loved listening to his stories about his childhood and his falling days. I miss hearing them already. I love you Grandpa.

We will miss Uncle Bill and his great sense of humour and his kind heart! Thinking of you Auntie Kay and Marla, Jim, Alayna, Jesse and Billy.

I'll always remember Uncle Bill as a gentle and generous man. When we were kids, he used pay my brother Michael and I to wash his work "crummy" every Saturday morning. Even if we weren't always able to get it clean enough, he'd never complain - he was always gracious enough to tell us we did a wonderful job and paid us more than he should have. I will certainly miss him and am proud to say he was my uncle.
