Posted By Sobering Funeral Chapel On October 2, 2017 @ 3:19 pm In Obituaries | 4 Comments

February 12, 1932 – September 29, 2017

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Nester Hrishkewich on Friday, September 29, 2017 at Pinawa Hospital at the age of 85.

Nester was a professional photographer for 35 years.  He achieved acclaim from his peers and success with his clients.  Nester was a dedicated and loving father of four children.  We had many beautiful and loving experiences together.  Nester’s passions were hunting, fishing, gardening, carpentry, stonework and many other outdoor activities.  His sharp shooting sometimes found him on a pool table or skinning a moose.  He spent most of his time exploring Nopiming Park and settled at Flanders Lake.  For many years, Nester was the Mayor of Flanders Lake and was loved by all.

Nester is survived by his children Phillip (Josie), Daniel, Sylvia (Gil) and his grandchildren Mike, René, and Jasper, cousins and many friends.  Nester was predeceased by his daughter Cynthia and wife Adeline.

A Celebration of Nester’s life will be held at Flanders Lake, Block 4, Lot 5 on Saturday, October 7 from 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.  All friends are welcome.

Always loved,

Never Forgotten,

Forever missed.

I often heard stories about him but only had the pleasure of meeting Nestor once. It was at Flanders Lake last year. As soon as we met, he treated me as if we were long time friends. He was never short of telling some of those old and maybe corny jokes but I still laughed. It was also a pleasure to see him still laugh at his own jokes. This was a testament of his great personality, good nature and hospitality. He was also very proud of the stonework in the cabin at Flanders and it was a work of art. You are my friend. Rest in peace.

Sorry to read about Nestor’s passing lately. He was a good friend of ours (Orest and Adeline Pressey). He was our photographer at our wedding in 1954. Orest and Nestor were at St. Andrews College together. We also spent some time with Nestor at his cottage, picking mushrooms and cranberries. Orest passed away in 2011.
With sincere condolences,
Adeline Pressey

So sorry to hear of your Dads’ passing. He was a good friend to my late husband Don, and liked to have us visit him at the cabin at Flanders. He was a nice gentleman. May he Rest In Peace.Virginia
