We Remember

PROSKOW, Leonard Joseph
—
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my dear husband, Leonard Joseph Proskow of Kelowna, BC, on July 7, 2020, after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 78 years.
Leonard will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Iris; sister, Adeline; two brothers, Raymond and Marcel (Janet); five sisters-in-law and spouses, Pat and Dave Sawich, Elaine and Ron Walker, Loretta and Randy Collins, Judy (Buzz) and Judy (Cliff); as well and many nieces, nephews, family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Zannie and Edward Proskow; in-laws, Mary and John Berezanski; four brothers-in-law, Buzz, Clifford, Orest (Berezanski) and Sam Pantusa. Throughout his life Leonard enjoyed music, with a huge collection of CDs. His knowledge of music and artists was second to none. He enjoyed photography, shopping, playing cards, scrabble, garage sales and antique hunting with Iris. Leonard and Iris enjoyed life to the fullest with vacations to Hawaii, Las Vegas and cruises abroad.
