His legacy of grandchildren includes Jacob, Joe, Zach, Jordan, Laurel, Corbin, Daymin, Atlanta, Olivia, Nash, Amanda, Coral, Bailey, along with his step grandchildren Jessica, Lindsey, Alicia, Tyler, Courtney and Nicholas as well as 14 great grandchildren.
Remembered by his sisters and brothers Violet Hoffman, Mike Hewak (Donna), Linda Hawkins (Paul), Helen Chandler (Wayne), and Andy Hewak.
Dad grew up in Ridgetown on the family farm. His teen years showed his love of old, fast cars. He settled in Blenheim and raised a family of nine children while working for Harwich Township and also Standard Tube, until his retirement.
Dad was a collector of sorts, always looking for that great find. He enjoyed the outdoors and trailer camping and had a passion for gardening-he could grow anything. He loved old movies, Elvis, his tickets (chasing that windfall again), and a good homecooked meal of cabbage rolls and perogies. He will be forever missed.
Friends and family are invited to the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Monday for visitation from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held at the Funeral Home on Tuesday October 25, 2022 at 1:00 p.m.
