It is with great sadness we announce that John James Teminsky passed away peacefully on March 19, 2020 in Burnaby, BC with family at his side, after a long battle with prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. John was born in Hazelmere, AB to John and Annie (née Kozakewich) Teminsky and was the youngest of 7 children. John farmed in the Vegreville, AB area for over 40 years before he retired to the town of Cochrane, AB. He leaves behind a loving wife, Vera, and two daughters, Tracy Teminsky (Tim) of Burnaby, BC and Teresa Rempfer (Cory) of Calgary, AB and four grandchildren, Katiya, Samuel, Maksym and Nathaniel, as well as numerous extended family members. John was a gentle soul, soft spoken and always willing to lend a hand. He was an esteemed peroghy maker, salsa creator, jam producer and avid cook. A lovingly mischievous man full of shenanigans, a jokester, prankster and punster.  A man generous with his time, devoted to others and always believing in the best of people.  The simple things in life made him happy. He enjoyed fishing, camping, the ocean and gardening, coffee breaks with friends, a good meal and time spent with family. John loved working on ongoing “projects” around his home, building and fixing things, often too busy to sit still for long. A man of great faith In God, he was an active member of the Alliance Church both in Vegreville and Cochrane and his family is comforted that he is now with Jesus. “Johnny” will be sorely missed by all who loved him.
