Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryROBERT DOUGLAS DANYLCHUK It is with heartfelt sadness that the family of Robert (Bob) Danylchuk, 74, announce his passing on February 20, 2013. Born in Selkirk, MB, on September 20, 1938, he spent his childhood in Pine Falls, MB. In 1951, his family relocated to Winnipeg. Bob will be greatly missed by his family. He is survived by his loving wife Shirley of 48 years, daughter Paula (Brian), son Brad (Melanie), his grandsons Declan Stitt and Braeden Danylchuk, sister Brenda and sister-in-law Adel, as well as nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Paul and Jessie and his brothers Lloyd and David. Bob worked as an auto mechanic for several years before changing to a sales rep at Sears and further retiring in 2001. He was an avid bowler in his younger years and will be remembered for his family camping and fishing expeditions. He was usually found under the hood of a car or in his garage tinkering with his latest handyman project. Known to his grandchildren as Dieto Bob, he passionately cared for his vegetable garden to share the bounty with them. A celebration of Bob's life will be held on Friday, March 1 at 11:00 a.m. at the Wheeler Funeral Home, Cemetery Crematorium, 1800 Day Street. In lieu of flowers please donate to a charity of your choice. Funeral Arrangements in Care of Wheeler Funeral Home, Cemetery & Crematorium 1800 Day Street (204)224-1525

My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Bob. I spent many evenings and weekends with Bob at Sears Automotive back in the mid-eighties. Back in the day he was always a well-dressed gem of a man with curly hair and well groomed sideburns. We had many good times, He had this infectious smile that would light up a room, which was his selling trademark. Over the years as we met each other in Transcona he was always willing to smile and extend his hand. Sadly gone, forever remembered - Posted by: Curtis Hunter (co-worker) on: Mar 01, 2013

Words cannot express how sad we were to have heard of the passing of Bob. He was a kind and compassionate man. We were fortunate enough to have had Bob & Shirley look after our dog Haylie when we are away on holidays. She loved being with them. As we will not be back before the Memorial, our thoughts and prayers are with you Shirley and your family. - Posted by: Fred & Doris Kriegl (Friends) on: Feb 25, 2013
