DR. HARRY TREGOBOV BSc, DDS, FICD, FADI July 14, 1924 - March 18, 2016 We sadly announce the passing of our husband, father and grandfather. Left to mourn are his wife of 56 years, Bonnie (nee Bella Marmel), four children: Rhea Lazar (Gary), Lianne (Paul), Dr. Earl, Abba (Susana) and nine grandchildren: Casey and Solly Lazar, Riley, Noah, Julia, Ethan, Nicole, Daniel and Matthew Tregobov, as well as many nephews and nieces. Predeceased by parents and three older sisters and their spouses, he leaves this world with thanks to the Good Lord for the many long years and the blessing of family and friends. A product of Winnipeg's North End, growing up during the Depression with a strong work ethic, Harry was president of his class, yearbook editor, athletic letter recipient and candidate for the Governor General Medal in high school. While pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at University of Manitoba, he edited the faculty publication, The Question Mark. Following service as an infantryman in the Second World War, Harry was accepted into the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto, graduating with the highest standing in preventive dentistry. He began the practice of dentistry in Dryden Ontario, and shortly afterwards in Pine Falls and Winnipeg, where he established the Fort Rouge Dental Group. Following 55 years of practicing dentistry, serving his patients, his dental associations and his community (president Winnipeg Dental Society and soccer coach/convener Tuxedo Community Center), he retired at age 82. Over the years he served as a part-time staffer during the first six years of the establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Manitoba, and played a large role in establishing dental insurance plans, and as a dental consultant. Harry was a family man in every sense. He loved his wife and doted on his children and grandchildren. He believed each person should strive to make the world a better place and hoped he has done his share. Interment has taken place at the Hebrew Sick Cemetery in Winnipeg, where grandparents, parents, some family members and friends have gone to their eternal rest. Pallbearers were Riley Tregobov, Casey and Solly Lazar, Jeffrey Kliman, Joel Kay, and Michael Lazar. Honorary pallbearers were Gary Lazar, Paul Watts, Rick Costantini, Morley Golden, Kevin Marks, Jack Serlin and Arthur Werier. Flowers gratefully declined "they make me sneeze". Donations to charities of choice to honour Harry's memory are entirely optional.

  • On behalf of the entire extended Marinelli family, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies for your loss. We were all patients of Doctor Tregebov since the 1960's and deeply appreciated his exceptional dentistry skills as well as his kindness. In fact, when I moved to Ottawa in 2001, I continued to return to Winnipeg for my dental checkups and was at a loss when Dr. Tregebov announced his retirement a couple of years later. My mom and I reminisce all the time about Dr Tregebov, about how he was the type of dentist who really cared about his patients. He was truly one of a kind. May the family be comforted, knowing how much your husband and father meant to his patients. - Posted by: Anna Maria Marinelli (Patients ) on: Mar 26, 2016

  • I am the daughter of Israel wise who was a close friend of Harry since childhood.When my father retired at 65 every few weeks he would meet Harry at his office and together crossed the street for a coffee and catch up on stories Harry was my dentist throughout my childhood,teen years and until I moved to Toronto in 1982, Harry told me he starts the day by reading the newspaper comics before he went into work and always had a newsy radio station on while he worked on a patient. Harry would allow you to go into the treasure chest to pick out a toy . I just saw Harry at Hertzila last August when I came home for a visit. He looked very well and remembered all my stories I have very fond memories of this very hard working dentist - Posted by: Francine Kurlandski nee Wise (patient and daughter of Israel Wise who was a former good friend to Harry) on: Mar 25, 2016
