STANLEY (STAN) CHERNEY Our beloved father, Stanley "Stan" Cherney, passed away at Deer Lodge Centre, Winnipeg, on March 6, 2014. He is fondly remembered by his daughter Rhonda (Don), and sons Ron (Deborah) and Bruce, brother-in-law Peter (Jean) Thompson, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as nieces and nephews and friends. Stan was born in Winnipeg on January 10, 1926. He was predeceased by his cherished wife, Thorey, his parents, Peter and Mary, his brother Gord and his sister Helen (Sywak). Stan volunteered to join the Royal Canadian Navy, serving from 1943 to 1945. After the war, he was a Firefighter with the Ministry of Transport in Churchill, Falconbridge and Shilo. Following his retirement, Stan and Thorey became Winter Texans. In Texas, Stan pursued his passion for golf, a sport he also played each summer every day in Gimli, where he and Thorey raised their family. Stan was an avid book reader, a true Blue Bomber fan and for many years was a season ticket holder. In addition, Stan loved baseball and periodically journeyed to Minneapolis to watch Major League Baseball games. It was his passion for travel that encouraged him and Thorey to visit many exotic locations. In particular, they enjoyed the adventure provided by the many ports of call when travelling aboard cruise ships. Stan's family wish to thank the nurses and staff of Tower 7 and most recently, Tower 6 for their compassionate care. We also like to thank those who visited with our dear dad over the last few years. He was well known to have a keen sense of humour, wit and charm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Stan's memory to the Health Science Centre Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. A celebration of Stan's life will be held at a later date. We love you Dad

Dear Dad, I think about you and Mom every day and miss you a lot. I have so many great memories to share with family and friends. Your love and keen sense of humour fills my heart with warmth and joy. I love to laugh, dad, when I share some of your funny stories - you had such a unique wit and charm that will never be forgotten. Love Rhonda - Posted by: Rhonda (Cherney) on: Mar 26, 2016

Very sad to hear of Stan's passing. Worked on shift with him in Shilo for several years (including the year he retired). He was a good friend and a Firefighter you could really trust beside you when you entered a burning building or when he was "manning the pumper". One of my memories of Stan is him being happy at retirement time that he would soon be able to golf even more, as well as travel. The Firefighters gave Stan a putter as a retirement gift. Having planned to do so for some time, I'm glad I did finally make a trip to Gimli several years ago just to stop in and say "Hello". - Posted by: Rennie Wiebe (Carberry, Manitoba) ( rwiebe22@mts.net ) (Retired Shilo Firefighter who has worked several years on shift with Stan.) on: Mar 08, 2014
