MICHAEL KROTCH Peacefully, on Sunday, November 13, 2005 at the St. Norbert Nursing Personal Care Home, Michael Krotch left this world to be with his Father in Heaven forever. Michael will be missed by his wife Rose; his sons, Ken, Keith and Edward; their wives, Glenys, Lori and Trudy, and his grandchildren, Jennifer, Sarah, Kevin, David and Emily. He was born on October 5, 1922 in Winnipeg, grew up on the family farm in Gordon, MB and received his education at Rosser School. At the age of 17, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy and served his country faithfully in both the Atlantic and Pacific theatres during the Second World War on frigates and minesweepers, including the Wentworth. In 1945 he married Rose Gamache and settled in Winnipeg where he lovingly raised his family. He was employed by C.N. Railway and by the University of Manitoba where he worked until his retirement. Mike loved the home he built on Forbes Road and the animals he raised on his hobby farm. He was known for his patience and skill in repairing anything. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and spent his life making sure his wife and children wanted for nothing.
