A Winnipeg man is pleading with the Kelowna community to help him learn more about his dad.
Zack Kushnir recently took to social media in the hopes of finding former friends or past coworkers of his late father Nathan Paul Kushnir.
Nathan, after separating from Kushnir香蕉视频直播檚 mom, moved to Victoria briefly before relocating to Kelowna in the early 1990s.
香蕉视频直播淚 only got to see him once or twice a year growing up. I didn香蕉视频直播檛 really get to know him very well,香蕉视频直播 said Kushnir.
Nathan died in a car crash on Highway 33 on March 2, 1998. A commercial truck is reported to have crossed the centre line and hit Nathan香蕉视频直播檚 car head on. Kushnir believes a friend named David was in the car with his father at the time and survived the collision.
Kushnir contacted BC RCMP and BC Highway Patrol in hopes of finding more details on the crash or even the last name of David, but few details have transpired.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e been able to determine it was somewhere on Highway 33, maybe near Beaverdell,香蕉视频直播 he said.
However, he has also been able to find the coroner香蕉视频直播檚 report.
Because Kushnir was so young when his father died, he isn香蕉视频直播檛 sure what Nathan did for a career.
The coroner香蕉视频直播檚 report that Kushnir received listed Nathan香蕉视频直播檚 occupation as a trucker, but Kushnir thinks that may have been an error.
香蕉视频直播淚 thought at one point either he or someone said that he was a sales rep for some sort of food company. When I look at his standard of living and where he lived and all that, it makes sense that he was more white collar.香蕉视频直播
Kushnir remembers his dad living on the waterfront on Watt Road when he visited.
Kushnir knows his father got married and he has a half-brother who is believed to still be living in Kelowna. The half-brother was born just after Nathan died. The brothers have never met.
Nathan香蕉视频直播檚 widow remarried and is also believed to still be in Kelowna. Kushnir has had limited contact with her over the years.
香蕉视频直播淲hat I香蕉视频直播檓 looking to do right now is connect with anyone that might have known him,香蕉视频直播 Kushnir said. He香蕉视频直播檚 hoping to put together a profile of his father and learn more about his family香蕉视频直播檚 past.
Anyone who remembers Nathan can contact Kushnir at zkushnir1588@hotmail.com.
