HARRY DARICHUK
Survived by his loving wife of nearly 66 years, Trudy, daughter Tracy (Darren), son Kevin (Laura), grandchildren, Justin (Carmel), Karli (Ethan), and sisters, Frances (Roman) and Phyllis (Ernie).
Harry was born in Saskatchewan and raised in Springside on the farm with his parents, John and Mary Darichuk. Harry relocated to Winnipeg to commence his work life where he furthered post secondary studies and became a Certified Management Accountant. He retired after 25 years of service with the Manitoba Health Services Commission. Harry was active in the community of Transcona where he coached Kevin's hockey team at the Pirates Community Club and volunteered as the Treasurer of the Transcona Retired Citizens Organization for 19 years. He was a member of the congregation at the Transcona Memorial United Church where he attended with Trudy for almost 50 years. He was also recognized for donating blood to the Red Cross over 100 times. Harry had time for everyone and was always in good character, his true joy was his family and he always enjoyed company of friends and neighbours.
The family will be announcing memorial plans at a later date.
Rest in Peace our dear Harry,
you will be missed beyond expression
and will live in our hearts forever.

Harry and I both worked in the Admin and Finance Division of MHSC but I really got to know him through the MHSC Employee’s Golf Tournament. He always looked forward to it, even after retirement. Rest In Peace Harry. - Diane and Chuck Sawyer - Posted by: Diane Sawyer (Co-worker) on: Mar 15, 2020
