Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCHARLES BARRY LEFKO May 4, 1954 - September 23, 2017 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, brother, husband, father and Gigi. Chuck loved life and did a lot of living in his 63 years. He travelled around the world as a young man and later in life took trips with his family. Most recently, spending time with his daughter Rhea and her family in Mexico, and hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru with his son Brock and brother-in-law John. He grew up as a country boy in Cooks Creek. He enjoyed his Friday old guy motorcycle rides, camping with his wife, his annual Lefko fishing trip and decades of hunting with his dear friend Henry Payment. Chuck will be forever missed by his loving wife of 33 years, Bev; his daughter Rhea (Mike); his son Brock; the light of his life, granddaughter Alice; parents, Tony and Nellie Lefko; sisters, Susan (Ross) and Linda; brother Mark (Kathleen); along with nieces and nephews; mother-in-law Sonia Sikomas; and extended family. A private family service has taken place. Thank you to our family, friends and neighbours for their kindness. We would like to acknowledge the service of the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service. Please join Chuck in his belief and sign your organ donation card and respect those with hearing impairment.

I just heard about the loss of Charlie. I am so very sorry for your loss. Charles was a very caring wonderful person. Charles and I started Grade 1 at Sapton School together. We went to the same classes in the same class room right through to Grade 10 when he ended up in different classes than I did at the Springfield Collegiate. Our lives went in different directions but we still ended up running into each other in the strangest places. At a bar in Tyndall , in a restaurant on Henderson Highway in Winnipeg, at a snowmobile poker derby, at the SCI reunion. He was always ready to greet you with his grin and good humor. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. May you find comfort in knowing others share your sorrow. He is now in the Hands of Our Good Lord. - Posted by: Louise Bruce (friend) on: Apr 11, 2018
