It is with deep sadness and sorrow we announce the passing of Mike at 87 years of age on November 23 at Victoria General Hospital, with family at his side. Mike will be sadly missed. Left to mourn his passing are his wife Jean of 63 years, son Ken (Tanis), granddaughters Shantel & Jaclyn, daughter Angela, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Mike was predeceased by his parents Nettie & George, brothers John and Steve, and sister Kay. He was born & raised in Hazelglen, MB, married Jean in 1951, moved to Transcona in 1955, and worked at CNR until 1985. Mike was an active member of St Michael’s Parish and Knights of Columbus St Josaphat Council, 4th Degree Canon Luhovy for the past 60 years. He enjoyed travelling to various places, especially Hawaii, was very passionate about his farm, and had much joy spending time with his granddaughters. We extend sincere thanks to the caring staff of Poseidon Care Centre, as well as the staff of VGH for their care and compassion at this difficult time.
The service will be held this Wednesday, November 26 at 10 am at St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church (Day St & Yale Ave in Transcona), with reception and entombment to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mike’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Diabetes, or a charity of your choice.
