Ken was born Saturday, August 6, 1949 to Eugene and Marion (nee Halverson) Nyuli in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. His ancestry was of Hungarian and Norwegian descent. Ken resided in Bjorkdale until the age of 3, when he moved to Flin Flon, Manitoba with his parents and older sister Lorna. He lived in Flin Flon until 1983 when he moved to the “farm” in Wanless. Ken started working for Modern Dairies when he was 14 years old and later purchased a 1/4 section of land from his grandfather at Bjorkdale with the part-time job he had at Modern Dairies. Ken also work for Arctic Beverages, Scorpio Bearing and the CN in Flin Flon. He also drove truck for Rick and Mike Petryk out of Cranberry Portage. Ken worked for Dan and Diane Madarash as a mechanic for Dan’s Mobile Repair, until his death. In between, Ken and his dad bought a farm in Wanless. Ken and Betty also owned and operated the bus depot in Cranberry Portage for a short time. Ken met Betty Willan and her two children in 1982 and were married January 7, 1983, at The Pas. Ken had a great love for animals of all kinds especially his two dogs (Buddy and Honey). One of the many passions of Ken’s was to feed the deer that gracefully crossed his “farm”. Ken was a member of a tractor club in Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan. He was an avid collector of tractors as well as tools of all kinds. Ken was a jack of all trades. Whether it be mechanics, plumbing or carpentry. Ken passed suddenly and peacefully at home, Thursday, February 10, 2011 at the age of 61 years.
