Kasmer Kasprick

Kasmer Paul Kasprick

With heavy hearts we grieve the loss of our husband, father and grandfather, Kas mer Paul Kasprick on Thursday, February 4, 2016 at the age of 74 years.

Left to cherish Kas’ memory, his beloved wife of 50 years Beverly ; his children Dawn (Jeff) Brooks, Leslie (Chad) Schaan, Brenda (Dean) Buschau, Cindy (Trent) Ward, and Marnie Leflar; his eleven grandchildren Brendan, Delaney and Mackenzie Brooks, Amanda and Dylan Schaan, Carter and Greta Buschau, Kirby and Kerry Ward, Jade and Shaelyn Leflar; and great granddaughter Rory.  Also left to mourn are his siblings Mary, Steve, Norbert and Marjorie, and their families.

He was predeceased by his parents Lawrence and Katherine and siblings Alfred, Victor, Helen and Cecil.

Kas was born in Polonia, MB on February 21, 1941. Kas spent his youth growing up in Neepawa where he enjoyed participating in hockey, track and fishing. Kas had a strong work ethic in everything he did which he passed on to his five daughters. He was proud of his family and enjoyed visits with the grandchildren, sharing stories of his adventurous youth which often included his brother Norb.

Kas kept himself busy building and fixing anything around the house. He took pleasure in puttering in the yard. Kas was an avid reader who could complete and recite any book no matter the subject. In recent years Kas would enjoy watching the Jets and the Blue Jays with Bev, never missing the opportunity to discuss the games with his family. We all wish he could have enjoyed a few more healthy years fishing.

The family would like to thank the staff at Portage District General Hospital for all their wonderful care and compassion.

In keeping with his wishes, a private family gathering will occur at a later date.

If friends and family so wish, memorial donations in Kasmer’s name may be made to Siloam Mission, 300 Princess St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 1M3.

A tree will be planted in memory and cared for by McKenzies Portage Funeral Chapel.  204-857-4021 www.mckenziesportagefuneralchapel.com
