HARRY DUDAR On January 11, 2007 in the loving arms of his wife, Theresa, Harry Valene Dudar, father of Shawn, Keri (John Doucette) of Boston, and Kristine, step-dad to Ian (fiancé Janine) McNiven and Tegann McNiven of Montreal, son of Sophie and the late Matt Dudar (2003), brother of Adeline (Wayne) Wilson of Surrey, Lawrence (Sharon) of Calgary, and Sonjia (Jim) Rurak. He is also survived by his in-laws, the Hnatiuk family, Maurice and Pauline, Ken and Gloria, Richard and Jan, Marilyn and Bob Bush, and numerous nieces and nephews and friends. Harry was born on February 14, 1945 in Fishing River, grew up in Portage la Prairie and made his life in Winnipeg. Harry had a successful 35 year career that began with Air Canada and ended with IBM. His passion in life was cars and travel. Harry and Theresa travelled the world on business and for pleasure and took advantage of every opportunity to experience a new adventure. Be it a typhoon in Hong Kong or an earthquake in Trinidad, there were many memorable times exploring foreign countries that will be cherished. Harry's wish was to lead by example and to impart to all of his children his strong work ethic, independence, to always be the best you can be and to take on challenges with courage and strength. Harry had many successes in his life, one of his greatest being his five year battle with cancer. Against all odds, he overcame adversity with his hope and will to survive. He was indeed a Miracle Man.
