Kenneth Charles Kasprick

Kenneth Charles Kasprick, passed away peacefully on April 9, 2024, at the age of 91 surrounded by his loving family at Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. 
 
Ken was predeceased by his cherished wife of 60 years, Faye Kasprick; parents Tom and Vicky Kasprick; sisters Elsie Chemerika (Steve) and Bernice Cherwinski (Charlie); brother Bernard Kasprick; brothers-in-law Eugene Baraniuk and Victor Adamyk; and sister-in-law Sharon Kaspick.  

Ken will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Kim (Greg) Love, son Dwayne, grandchildren Riley and Kaitlyn Love, brother Vern Kaspick, sisters Verla Baraniuk and Phyllis Adamyk, sister-in-law Betty Kasprick, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
 
Ken was born on December 14, 1932, in Springhill, Manitoba. He grew up in Elk Ranch and later built a home in St. James with his beloved wife Faye Kasprick. Together they raised a beautiful family before eventually settling in Pinawa upon retirement in 2003.
 
Ken dedicated himself to a career that spanned several decades, starting at Canada Packers from 1956 to 1960 before transitioning to the night shift at Lucerne Milk Plant. It was at Lucerne where he excelled, eventually being promoted to a pasteurizer—a role he fulfilled diligently for an impressive 30 years until his retirement in 1994.
 
Outside of work, Ken had a vibrant array of interests and hobbies that brought joy to his life. He was particularly passionate about curling and spent many years playing mixed curling at the Assiniboine Memorial Curling Club. He also loved baseball and enjoyed playing on the Lucerne company softball team.  Ken loved to entertain and spend time with family and friends at his home and was instrumental in starting the cribbage club in Pinawa—all testaments to his sociable nature.  He loved to joke around and had a funny sense of humour.  A sports enthusiast through and through, Ken could often be found cheering on his favorite teams including the Blue Bombers, Toronto Blue Jays, Winnipeg Jets, and professional curlers.  In his leisure time, he enjoyed camping, playing solitaire on the computer, watching comedy shows like Three's Company, singing, and listening to old-time country music by artists like Johnny Cash and Charlie Pride.  
 
Ken will be remembered not only for his dedication to family and work but also for the warmth he exuded in all aspects of life. His legacy of love and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him. May he rest in peace.
