I always liked your Dad from the very first time I met him. He was the salt of the earth kind of man . He always reminded me of my father ! Gentle and kind and always a smile on his face . To all of you in your family my deepest condolences . I am away on holidays and won’t make it to his funeral . I am deeply sorry.

Sorry for your loss! He was a great man, loved sitting and talking to him! Loved to joke just like his brothers! !He was very proud of his kids!! Tyndall has lost another great person!! RIP Alex.

Once a steelworker always a steel worker. Always fighting the good fight.
Having you as a co-worker was at times hilarious.
Enjoyed seeing your smile and hearing your story’s while at work.
You will be truly missed by many Alex.
My condolence to your family and many friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Charlene, Corinne, Bridget and Daryl, and all of your families! It is with great sadness I wish to express my deepest condolences on the loss of your father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. I have known Alex for many, many years…he was a good man and will be sorely missed. RIP Alex.

Alex Katazinski was a kind, respectful person as well as a true gentleman. He lived an exemplary life, raising his five children single handedly after his wife Margaret passed away at a young age. He was a true family man, ensuring his brother Willie was helped when needed. As their parents had already passed, he helped in making a large wedding for his sister Ida, though he was not a wealthy person. That was Alex. In addition, Alex was a good neighbour, an interesting friend and an all round good person. His children are so blessed in having him for a Father. Condolences also to Verna, as she has lost her handsome dancing partner as well as the love of her life. Although I am the youngest of our family from Sand Hill, I remember the kindness he showed to everyone he met.

I grew up just a mile south of Alex’s Mom and Dad’s homestead. I went to Greenwich School with Alex’s brothers Roy and William and sister Ida. I was the youngest and remember always walking behind the older children in order to break the cold wind in the winter time. Along with the Wilkes, Schreyer’s and Katazinksi’s we would make the trek to Greenwich School which was a mile and a half from our place which was on the Selkirk Line.

I will be forever grateful to Alex as he was a comfort to my Mom when she was home alone when my Dad was away working for Manitoba Power Commission (Manitoba Hydro). Mom would mention how grateful she was because she knew that Alex would always be there if she needed help. She looked forward to the visits from Alex’s young children.

I will always remember Alex as a true gentleman, with a smile on his face and words of cheer and encouragement during conversations with him. You will truly be missed Alex. May God’s Grace and Peace be always with you in Heaven and your family here on Earth!
