GEORGE ARTHUR UTESCH May 4, 1936 - February 25, 2007 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Utesch suddenly but peacefully at home. He was predeceased by his wife and love of his life, Grace Pass Utesch in October, 2006. Their two hearts are now one. George is survived by his step-children and grandchildren, Janice Pass Fuller and husband Robert of Vancouver, Gary Pass and wife Janis Sloan, Lauren and Kevin Csada, Craig Pass of Calgary and Laurie Mandryk in Vancouver. George was a man of many, many talents and interests. He was a dedicated member of Eckankar, Secretary of the Manitoba Prospectors and Developers Association Inc. and International Society of Explosives Engineers, mining, blasting and staking claims in Bissett, MB to name a few. Recently he became an official member of the International Press Association. George was like a walking encyclopedia and if he didn't know the answer to something he would find it. He was a talented artist, loved music, had a passion for computers, literature, health and wellness and a constant desire to learn everything he could about anything that captured his attention. George was a loyal friend and strong advocate for the underdog and he championed many causes. This loveable man had a huge heart and will be greatly missed. Special thanks to his friends Jack, Benita, Churchill, George and the Meekis and Dubois families and all those who cared for George when his need was greatest. A memorial service will be held Saturday, March 3 at 3:00 p.m. in the chapel of Voyage Funeral Home, 220 Hespeler Ave. Donations may be made to Eckankar Canada-Manitoba, 104-475 Provencher Blvd., Winnipeg, MB R2J 4A7.
