I am so sad to hear of Victor's passing. My deepest sympathy to his wife Ann and family. I will never forget when he locked 2 or 3 of us high school boys in the bath room when it was time to catch the school bus to go home. When he opened the door we all laughed but it wasn't so funny when we could not get out. He was a great guy and a good friend. I will miss him. - Posted by: Orville Spakowski (Long time friend) on: Jan 07, 2012

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of Mr. Srutwa. The one memory I have of him is when I was going to Gimli high school in the late 70's I was on work experience through school at Texaco garage. George Onofreychuk was supposed to pick me up at 3:35 p.m. He did'nt so I phoned the school division. Mr. Srutwa answered. I told him what happened, so he offered to take me home, even though it was a few miles out of his way. This was winter time. It was too cold to stand outside so I waited inside. - Posted by: Peter Pilatyk (Friend) on: Jan 07, 2012

I am sending my sincere condolences to the whole family. I have always thought of Victor as an uncle. I may not have been here today if he did not take my mother to Teulon Hospital when she was expecting me. I have always heard of the story that there was a snow storm and he was the only one who could take my mother to the hospital. He even told me the story once when I was there. I thank him immensely for this. I did not visit often but when I did it was special and as others had written both Victor and Anne were always gracious hosts. Thinking of you at this sad time, sincerly Sharon Rublowski - Posted by: Sharon Rublowski (Friend, but always thought of as an uncle) on: Jan 07, 2012

I feel very blessed that throughout my life I was able to spent a great deal of time with Uncle Victor & Auntie Anne. This is written in memory of Uncle, and as a tribute to Auntie. I have learned a lot from Uncle & Auntie over the years. One thing is to treat others the way you want to be treated. Everyone that they knew was treated with respect and were made to feel special (even the kids. If you give, you will get back. Even if it is just a smile. Always help others, just as Uncle & Auntie always did, because one day you may be the one that needs help. The more love you give the more you will get back, then you will have even more to give. Everyone was welcome & loved in their home, and I know that both of them are loved by all family & friends. There is always someone worse off than you, so appreciate what you have and treasure it. As you can probably tell it is hard for me to think of Uncle and not think of Auntie. They were two parts that formed a whole. They enjoyed being together, and you could tell by the way that they looked at each other that they were so much in love after 60 years of marriage. My most precious memory was last fall. After lunch on the deck, Uncle & Auntie went into the house because Uncle was getting cold. After cleaning up, I walked into the living room to see Uncle & Auntie cuddling on the couch, smiling at each other. Auntie said "We must look pretty silly, us two old people, cuddling like this." I told them "No, it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." I still get tears in my eyes when I think about it. The thing I will miss the most about Uncle is his hugs, he was always there waiting for his hugs. Even though Uncle Victor is gone to a heaven to be with the rest of the Angels, he will forever live on in the hearts and memories of everyone whose lives he touched. We are all much richer for having had him as part of our lives. Our deepest condolences to Auntie Anne, Sandra, Darlene & Ben and their families. We love you. - Posted by: Cindy Fenske & Family (Great-Niece) on: Jan 05, 2012

I have wonderful memories of our family trips to Winnipeg every summer as children. We always spent time at Uncle Victor's and Aunty Annie's farm. My condolences and prayers to all the family. - Posted by: Pat Mostardi(Hryckiw) (Niece (godchild)) on: Jan 04, 2012

We wish to send our condolences to Aunty Anne, Sandra & Darlene. I Stan have many memories of times we would travel out from B.C for easter or summer holidays at the farm. Uncle Vic always had someting that he was repairing in one of his sheds, be it a car, machinery or anything else that needed tending to. I think one of his best ideas was to have a number of small riding lawnmowers for all the kids to fight over to get the chance to ride all over the lawns, free lawnmowing. It's with deep sadness to hear of his passing, our thoughts are with you. All our love, Stan, Thelma & Cassidy. - Posted by: Stan Hryciw, Thelma Hryckiw & Cassidy Hryckiw (Nephew) on: Jan 04, 2012
