Alexander (Alex) William Porosky

On Saturday, January 17, 2026, Alexander (Alex) William Porosky, beloved husband and father, passed away at the age of 83 and 10 months.

Alex was predeceased by his daughter Janis, parents Bill and Ann, parents in law Mac and Lillie Sadowski, and infant brother Terry.

He is survived by his wife Frances  (Fran) and son Neil. Alex is also survived by brothers: Don (Eileen), Larry (Rose), Richard (Shirley). Sadowski in laws: Marlene (Mel Fischer), Joyce Rempel, Colin, Gail (Bill Clarke). He will be remembered by many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Alex grew up in Plumas MB and went on to Winnipeg to start his career, first at Winnipeg Transit and then Federated Co-op. On a blustery day in October, 1966, he married Fran, and so started their 59-year journey together. In 1971 he graduated from the University of Manitoba with a degree in Commerce (Honours). During that summer Alex and Fran had many adventures on their road trip to Mexico City and up the west coast of the United States. His career in computer system sales took us to Toronto, Winnipeg, Sherwood Park AB, and back to Winnipeg. In 2011 we made the circle complete and settled back in Plumas.

Alex enjoyed the outdoors, hunting in the Sandilands with Colin, camping with the family, gardening, and yard work.
