William Charles Kovitch

William was born December 24, 1933 in Empress, Saskatchewan and grew up in Marengo, Saskatchewan with his larger-than-life family. While working for CNR he met the love of his life, Gail, and they married November 27, 1961 and settled in Alsask. They later moved to Young, Saskatchewan where he began working at the Colonsay Potash Mine. Finally, they moved to Allan in 1976 where he worked for the Allan Potash Mine until his retirement.

William enjoyed fishing, fixing anything and everything, and building all sorts of things. He enjoyed cooking and the holidays when all his family could be together. His jokes and sense of humour always filled the room with laughter.

William will be forever cherished as the best husband, dad, grandpa, great grandpa, brother, father-in-law, son-in-law, uncle, cousin, and friend. He is survived by his devoted wife Gail of 62 and a half years, his loving sons Marcel and Willie (Bonnie), his loving daughter Teena, and his loving sister Dorthy Roberts. William will forever be remembered by his grandchildren, great grandchildren, his many nieces and nephews, extended family, and his dear friends.

William is predeceased by his parents Ted and Lydia Kovitch, mother and father-in-law Guy and Cora Boisvert, his brother Hilbert, his sisters Phyllis and Shirley, his son Marlon, his grandson Justin, his sisters-in-law Joan and Donna, and brothers-in-law Harvey and Clare.

William’s family would like to thank the homecare nurses and care-aids for their excellent care and attention given to him over the last two years.

A Fallen Limb

A limb has Fallen

from the family tree.

I keep hearing a voice that

says, “Grieve not for me”.

Remember the best times,

the laughter, the song.

The good life I lived while

while I was strong.

Continue my heritage,

I’m counting on you.

Keep smiling and surely the sun

will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.

Remembering all, how

I truly was blessed.

Continue traditions, no matter how

small. Go on with your life,

don’t worry about falls I miss you all dearly,

so keep up your chin.

Until the day comes we’re together again.
