On November 3, 2018 at the Arborg and District Hospital with family at his side, Dad decided to give up his “fight” and take “flight” at the age of 93.
Left to forever cherish his memory are his daughters, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Pat (Gary), six grandchildren Stacey, Shawn, Dwayne (Christine), Kyle, Monique (Darcy) and Chad (Lindsay), seven great grandchildren Garrett, Rylee, Conor, Aden, Rylyn, Emma and Grace. He is survived by his sister Stella Troschuk, many nieces and nephews.
Dad was predeceased by his wife Marusia (2009), his parents John and Theodozia, brothers Walter and William, dear sister Bella Skomorowski, sons-in-law Orest Rewniak and Hank Gauthier.
Dad was born on January 25, 1925 in Poplarfield, Manitoba where he resided until his passing. He worked for the department of Highways for 33 years retiring in 1989.
Special thanks to Dad’s doctor Dr. Ismail as well as the staff at the Arborg Hospital for their care and compassion.

God has you in His keeping,
We have you in our hearts, Dad…
