February 1, 1962 – June 5, 2026

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Edward Krupnik after a valiant fight with cancer for over two years, at the age of 64. He was predeceased by his father Dominik and brother Victor.

Ed will be overwhelming missed by his soulmate, Wanda Gosselin and the young lady whom he loved dearly and was so proud to be part of her life, Nevaeh (Chris).

Ed was born the middle child of five siblings to Dominik & Maria Krupnik. Ed dedicated a lot of time and energy over the years to the family farm but started in the aviation industry early in life, first working for OCA and then starting with Air Canada in March 1985. Ed took early retirement in July 2011 after the maintenance base in Winnipeg shut down. Ed chose to stay closer to home so he could help his dad.

When a friend showed Ed the art of chainsaw carving, he fell in love with it. He could see things in the wood that most of us can’t and he created many lovely pieces – many of which he gave away as gifts because above all, Ed had a kind heart and liked to give joy to those he loved and respected.

Ed also loved to travel and he especially enjoyed the East Coast. (Meticulously devouring the Lobster but never managing to get his moose burger while being there). Ed also had the love for music and took in many events and thoroughly enjoyed listening to Billy “practice”. Most of all, Ed liked to visit with people (and it was even better if a “Kool-Aid” could be had – but never let him pour).

A trip to Princess Auto was never quick. He would grab a coffee and he always ran into someone he knew. Ed also had the love of the outdoors and he loved to hunt which included getting together with his buddies for deer hunting or taking a few days for Moose hunting. If invited, he never turned down a chance to go in the boat fishing.

We will miss him dearly.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Fraserwood Hall on Monday, June 15, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Interment will follow at Precious Blood Roman Catholic Cemetery, Fraserwood, MB.

April 5, 1940 – December 30, 2025

Edward “Ed” Winterhalt passed away on December 30, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family, at the age of 85.

Ed was deeply devoted to his wife, Annette, with whom he shared 65 years of marriage. Together, they built a family grounded in love, hard work, and generosity. He was a proud and loving father to his son, Michael (Kerri) Winterhalt, and his daughter, Karen (Kerry) Thiessen. Ed was a cherished grandfather to Morgan (Brendan) Bouvette, Lana (Josh) Richert, Stacey (Michael) Acquisto, and Aidan Dickson, and a delighted great-grandfather to Lorenzo, Matteo, Barrett, Charlie, and Ansen, each of whom brought him immense joy.

Born on April 5, 1940, Ed lived a life defined by quiet strength, patience, and kindness—qualities that shaped not only his character but the lives of all who knew him. Ed owned and operated Mimic Printing, where his dedication, reliability, and strong work ethic were evident to all who worked with him. Outside of work, he was always ready to help with home projects—some small and some truly giant. One of his most remarkable undertakings was helping to build a second story onto his son’s home alongside his brother-in-law, Leon Morrissette, a lasting testament to his skill, determination, and generosity. He especially treasured working on cars alongside his son, moments that reflected both his patience and his quiet love.

Family was at the heart of Ed’s life. He enjoyed holiday gatherings, sharing stories, and valued the connections he built with extended family and friends. He found great enjoyment on the golf course as an avid member of the Assiniboine Golf Club and would often golf with his daughter Karen, playing courses all over Manitoba. He also valued the camaraderie of the bowling league at Uptown Lanes, where he bowled alongside his wife, Annette.  

Stoic and soft-spoken, Ed was deeply warm at heart. He was generous without fanfare, steady in his presence, and kind in ways that did not seek recognition. His calm demeanor and unwavering support left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Grace Hospital for the exceptional kindness and compassion Ed received while in their care. Special thanks to Betty Winterhalt for her help, care and support throughout Ed’s last days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of choice.

Cremation has taken place, and a gathering of family and friends to celebrate Ed’s life will be held at a later date.

August 9, 1954 – May 7, 2022

Eddy passed peacefully after struggling many years with end stage cardiac disease.  He was predeceased by his parents, Don & Blandine and three brothers, Don, Patrick, Roderick. 

He leaves behind his family whose hearts are broken.  His wife,  Sharon, his children Cale (Asami) (Kenji -June 2022), Lisa (Ben) Liam & Devon, Jeremy (Camille) Ella, Stephan (Alyssa) Peyton and Aidah;  his brothers Jim (Linda), Bruce, Stuart, Kevin (Kim);  sisters, Beatrice (Bob), Dorothy (Ron), Sherrin (Jerry), Jeanna (Barry) and many nieces and nephews.  

 I first met Eddy when I was 17, I thought he was very good looking, and he was kind and a quiet man. He was always very supportive of me and was my best friend.  He was a good husband, that’s who he was. 

 Eddy loved his children and grandchildren, they were his life. The children remember him for his limitless patience, his laugh and his insights. Nothing could get him down. He was so strong for the kids when they needed him. He cheered them up fun and silliness. They knew they could always count on Dad. He taught the children what it meant to be part of a family. He was a good good father, that was who he was.

Eddy was also devoted to his mom after his dad passed. He would visit her regularly and they were very close. He loved to take the kids and go over and visit her, brightening her day and keeping the family connection strong. He was a good son,  that was who he was.

Ed was also close to his brothers and sisters.  He was the 10th of 12 kids, and they all stayed close to each other and Ed had nothing but good memories growing up on Brooklyn Street.  He was a good brother, that was who he was. 

He worked selling paper and was the company’s best salesman for years. He had a good relationship with all his clients.  He was very proud that he could tell you anything about paper just by the feel and mark.  After he left that job he worked for many years at photo radar; a job he really enjoyed, especially the fellowship with his co-workers.  He was a good friend and good worker, that was who he was. 

No formal service will be held but a Celebration of Life will be held  on Monday May 23rd from 5 to 7 pm at the Viscount Gort Hotel.  Please stop by and share any memories with his family.
