Willy Parfenuik – Sept 20, 2025 (revised)

Willy Parfenuik passed away on September 20, 2025 at 70 years old after a long stay in hospital.

Willy was a member of the Plumbing group and retired around 2014 after about 30 years at CSA. He’d been a hockey coach, a union leader and a proud Ukrainian. A wine enthusiast, he was also known for sharing “refreshments” on the golf course. Gone too soon, he was a friend to many and will be fondly remembered.

A private funeral will be held, with a ‘Celebration of Life’ at a future date.

Please share your memories of Willy or condolences for the family by leaving a comment below or on his memorial page.
