John Paul Baranowski
It is with great sadness that the family of John Baranowski announce his passing Sunday, Sept. 19, 2010, at the Thunder Bay Regional Hospital after losing a courageous battle against cancer. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side. John was born June 15, 1933, in Emo, Ontario, to Michael and Paulina Baranowski. He spent his childhood in Emo, until he started working as a young man of 14, guiding at Arrowhead Camp for Tuss Langley and Bob Boreen.
He was united in marriage to Amy Chandler on July 19, 1957, in Rainy River, Ontario. They moved to Nestor Falls, Ontario, settling down to raise a family . He guided during the summer and spent many winters working on the skating and curling rinks. He left guiding to work for Ontario Hydro in 1970, working there until his retirement in 1994. John loved being outdoors, playing hockey, curling and fishing and not to mention running the junior curling league for many winters. He also loved animals, especially his “grandkitties” Comet and Casper.
