VALEN DOROSCHUK May 29, 1930 - June 17, 2013 It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness, we announce the sudden but peaceful passing of Valen Doroschuk on Monday, June 17, 2013. Born in Pleasant Home on May 29, 1930 Valen attended Plum Ridge and Netley Schools. His early years were spent in the Winnipeg Beach area / Crabby Steve Dance Hall where he developed life long friends and fond memories. He thought he would try his hand at being a mechanic in Winnipeg but his true passion was the love for the land. He bought a farm in the Teulon area where he met the flame of his heart, Mary. They were married June 27, 1964 and started their family the next year. As his children grew bigger, so did the farm. Dad's work ethic was early to rise, and late to bed. He kept his prize possession, the machinery immaculate. He was always washing his trucks, tractors, his Massey combines, his children's vehicles, and the trophy prize, his Super W6. Dad could be seen every morning with his dogs driving around the section and in the evenings reading the paper in his favourite chair. He is survived by his beloved wife of almost 49 years, Mary, his children, Cindy of Vancouver, Heather (Stuart) McSherry of Stonewall, Vern (Dawn) of Teulon, and grandchildren, Dezmin, and Courtney. Also left to mourn are his two brothers, Victor, Denis, his sisters, Oresta Kostelniak, Marg Srutwa, many nieces and nephews, and special nephew Mark. Valen was predeceased by his parents, Karp and Ann, and sister Olga Naworynski. Flowers are gratefully declined. The family would like to thank Dr. Kerr Graham of South Interlake Clinic in Stonewall, MacKenzie Funeral Home (Ken/Stef), and Cst. Sylvia Craig. The Family invites everyone to join a Celebration of His Life that will be held at St. Stephen's Church Hall, Pleasant Home, Sunday, June 30 at 1:00 p.m. Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean, we'll miss you Gigi, until we meet again.
