Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryPETER (PETRO) LUCZENCZYN It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Peter (Petro) Luczenczyn on November 7, 2012. He is survived by his wife Shirley and children Samantha and Andrew; his parents, Tekla and Oleksa; and his siblings Jerry, Maria Patkau (Irwin), and Steve. Peter was born June 12, 1950 in Bradford, England. His family immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1955. He graduated from Tec-Voc High School in 1968 and studied at Red River College before joining the Winnipeg Police Service in 1974. He worked in various units within the Service before joining the Identification Unit in 1985 where he remained until his retirement in April of 2002. He married the love of his life on October 2, 1976. They started their family in 1986, and moved to Oakbank a year later. Peter's joy in life was his family and his children. Throughout his life, he enjoyed an array of hobbies and was a true handyman. He loved being at the cottage in Victoria Beach and spent hours fishing and kayaking. He considered himself to be a practical joker and storyteller. After retirement, Peter started his own business, working in conjunction with Manitoba Public Insurance. He also began teaching a course for Northwest Law Enforcement Academy, and working for CanPro on occasion. In retirement, he found new friends and reconnected with former colleagues who shared common interests. His life was rich with friendship, hobbies, and love. He will be forever missed by his family and the many people whose lives he touched. A celebration of Peter's life will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, at 2:00 p.m. Monday, November 12. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Police Museum. 204-586-8044

Dear Shirley, Andrew and Sam, Our apologies for our late message to you as we only learned of his passing today. We will miss seeing Pete at VB with his kayak or fishing rod. We admired how he always got out and did things he enjoyed. Pete was always fun to chat with. His commitment to you always showed. With sincere sympathy, Pat, Paul, Thomas and family. - Posted by: Paul and Pat Dorval (Friend) on: Jan 26, 2013

Dear Shirley and Family.... Over the years, Peter and I spent many hours at the V.B. pier where we traded fishing stories and discussed world events. Yes, he caught more pickeral than I did. I will miss him. - Posted by: Tom Welch (Friend from Victoria Beach) on: Nov 14, 2012

I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of such a wonderful soul. I had the pleasure of knowing Peter for the past 11 years as a patient here at W. K. Dental. Peter was always such a card, with the never-ending list of jokes that could always put a smile on our faces, whether they were good or bad. Winnipeg, or the world for that matter, has lost one of its finest. Your smile will be dearly missed here, and our deepest sympathies go out to your family and friends. Until we meet again, rest in peace Peter. - Posted by: Laura and the staff from West Kildonan Dental Group (Friend) on: Nov 13, 2012

Six o'clock morning fishing on the pier will not be the same without you. We will miss you riding into the yard at the lake and asking us to come rescue your fishing rod that a pelican swam off with around his neck. Our condolence to your family. Another angel was needed in heaven. - Posted by: Tim & Dawn McPetrie. (Friend) on: Nov 11, 2012

Peter was a friend and customer of ours. Always willing to share a story or two, his jokes usually got a groan out of us, it should would be nice to hear one now. He'll always be an 11 out of 10 to me. A good friend gone too soon. - Posted by: Jaime Cline (Friend) on: Nov 10, 2012

I sit here in my kitchen, totally saddened to read of Peters passing. It seams like just yesterday that I was treated to one of Peters corny jokes, or one of his whitasisms, he was ever the entertainer. My condolences to Shirley and children. Peter was a great guy, I will surely miss him. - Posted by: Keith lalonde (Friend and neighbour) on: Nov 10, 2012

Almost 38 years ago two young men met. It was Nov 12th, the first day of Winnipeg Police recruit class 82. From that day forward Pete became my good friend. He always had a joke or a funny story no matter what the circumstance. Being around Pete just made you feel better. I have many wonderful memories that I will hold dear until we meet again. I will miss him. “Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” - Posted by: Rick Beazley (Good friend) on: Nov 10, 2012
