It is with heavy hearts that we regretfully announce the passing of Mr. Raymond “Earl” Curniski due to complications following surgery in the ICU at the Victoria Hospital in the early morning hours of Sunday, April 24, 2016 at the age of 80 years old. Earl was a very kind, gentle, thoughtful outgoing personality known for his vast knowledge and experience. He had a very hard work ethic and an endless sense of humor, with his catalogue of jokes and oneliners. Special thanks to the ICU staff at the Victoria Hospital and especially to the wonderful people who looked after Earl at his last residence, Pineview Lodge – Oleksinski House. Earl is now finally free of pain and can be reunited with his dear Mother whom he truly loved and missed and talked about all the time. Earl, you worked so hard all your life, you so deserve a good rest. God Bless You. See you in Heaven. Interment will be held at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.grays.ca. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Gray's Funeral Chapel, (306-922-4729).
