Henry Wojak

Henry Wojak, passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 23, 2021 after a short battle with cancer.

He was born October 20, 1954 and raised in Montreal, Quebec.

He attended University of New Brunswick Forestry Engineering program and then accepted employment with Great Lakes Paper, woodlands division. Eventually he worked as a Paper Maker before retiring.

Henry enjoyed many hobbies, including city politics, especially Budget talks and gave numerous deputations at City Hall and TB Police Board. He always had an answer or thought on any given subject. He had an inquiring mind enjoying discussions and chatting with people. Nature, gardening, picking mushrooms, blueberries, fiddleheads were on the list of things to do. Also enjoyed swimming and had his turn at sport parachuting in his youth!
