Alexander Nalywayko

It is with sadness the family announces the passing of Alex Nalywayko at Sunnyside Nursing Home on March 27th, 2016 at the age of 92. Alex will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 59 years, Kay (nee Michayluk); daughters Dianne (Kevin) McDuffie, Nadia (Joel) Hodorek; grandson Zachary Lesko; and sister, Stella Holinaty. Alex was predeceased by his parents, Phillip and Tekla Nalywayko, two brothers and four sisters. Alex was born on November 11, 1923 in St. Julien District, SK. After a brief period living and working in Toronto (where he came to enjoy driving his Indian Motorcycle), Alex returned to Saskatchewan to care for the family farm. It was there that he met his future wife. While continuing to farm, Alex and Kay moved to Central Avenue in Saskatoon in 1959 where Alex also worked as a mechanic and truck driver until his retirement. In 2010, Alex moved into St Volodymyr’s Villa. After a brief illness forced Alex into long term care, Alex became a resident of Sunnyside last fall before his passing earlier this week.
