Obituary

Passed on May 7, 2022

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa, Uncle and friend at the grand age of 90. Dad passed away on Saturday, May 7th, 2022 at the Arborg PCH with his family by his side and old time Ukrainian music playing in the background.

Dad was born March 12, 1932 and was raised in Okno. It was on the same original family farm that Dad and Mom raised their 5 children, Brenda(Frank), Shelly, Grant, Ralph(Tracy) and Rhonda(Stefan). Dad was a proud grandfather of 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren: Reese, Graeme, Brett, Keith (Kerian, Olafur, Mallory, Termperance), Kendal (Aurora, Ryker), Kaine (Thomas, Bryceson), Kohl, Janelle (Logan, Kashton), Mathew, Casey (Brinley) and Katie.

There are many fond memories of all the family gatherings over the years. Mostly, Dad will be remembered for his kind heart and willingness to help, his many stories, quick wit and sense of humor. We would like to thank the Arborg PCH staff for their wonderful care and kindness. Dad was loved and will be greatly missed but will remain forever in our hearts.

A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, May 14, 2022 at 1:00 pm at the Arborg Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Red Cross for the Ukrainian relief fund.
