LAURRIE ZECHOVAL
Laurrie was predeceased by his father Samuel Zechoval and his mother Elsie Coave.
At the age of 79, Laurrie leaves to mourn, daughters, Tammy (Keith) Brock, Rebecca Zechoval, Tracy (Darryl) McCrae and Tara (Tom) Thomas; and grandchildren, Farah, Taylor (Brad), Payton (Chaley), Ashley and Paige; siblings, Nancy (Gerry) Zipursky, Myra (Jim) Thorkelson, Rande (Shelley) Zechoval; and his nieces and nephews.
Laurrie was a business man at heart. He began his career at Stylerite Department stores until he opened his own business Warehouse 242 in Winnipeg. Warehouse 242, was his pride and joy. At the age of 55, he sold his business and relocated to Vancouver, BC.
Laurrie was an avid sports fan, especially when it involved the Winnipeg Jets or the Blue Bombers. Laurrie had a great sense of humour which was apparent in all his conversations.
Laurrie will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
If family or friends so desire, donations can be made in Laurrie's memory to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Nothing would have made Laurrie happier than to live to see a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.
A private graveside service will take place on Sunday, January 10, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. The service will be live streamed at: www.congregationetzchayim.ca/services.

To Tammy and Rebecca, I send my sincere condolences at the death of your father. You may not remember me, but Laurrie and my late husband (Allan Simpson) were close friends since university days. Allan died in 1998 and I remember Laurrie calling me at that time. When you were young girls I remember visits with you in Dauphin at your home and visits to the store. After moving to Winnipeg we shared evenings together at your home and at our home. When your Dad was moving to Vancouver I recall that Allan and Laurrie had a lunch together to wish each other well. I will always remember your Dad, his quick wit and his humor. My best wishes to you both and to your families. Clare Simpson - Posted by: Clare Simpson (Friend) on: Jan 09, 2021
