At the age of 92, Dad decided it was his time to say a final “TA” to all of us and join his family and friends above.
He will forever be in the hearts of his Victoruk family, Bill Jr. (Mary-Ann), Marie (Joe), Susie (Cam), Anita (late Bob), Evan (Kat), Ryley, Matthew, Laura and Brandon, three great-grandkids, two nephews and two nieces; his Kauk family, Allan (Sue), Linda (Gord) and Ryan.
Dad (AKA Snork or Snorkel) started his career with the City of Winnipeg Fire Department in September 1957 and retired in April 1991. Throughout his career he held positions of Lieutenant, Training Officer and Captain.
Dad set an example for all of us to face the challenges life gives you head on and to make the best of the life you have.
We would like to give the biggest “Thank-You” possible to all the staff/persons from Maples Personal Care Home 1-West “Willow” Section involved in Dad’s daily care. Your care, compassion and professionalism did not go unnoticed and we are forever grateful.
In lieu of flowers, Dad had two charities that he faithfully donated to every year and were very close to his heart, the C.N.I.B. Foundation and the War Amps of Canada Key Tag Service. If you so desire, a donation in his memory would be a wonderful way to honour him.
Keeping with Dad’s wishes, there will be no funeral or Celebration of Life. Cremation has taken place and a private family interment will be at a later date.
