DONALD GULEWICH
January 18, 1939 - February 10, 2021
He had long careers at both Domtar and later Stony Mountain penitentiary where he spent 40 years as a boiler engineer. Although he never truly retired. He was a man that could never sit still, and his many hobbies and accomplishments are proof of that.
Throughout his life he was a farmer, a beekeeper, competitive shooter, a greenhouse owner, and had horses at the Assiniboia Downs with his wife. His latest venture and passion was his lumber mill. He also loved hunting, carpentry, tinkering with anything he could get his hands on, and music. He could frequently be found strumming away at his guitar while singing a country song.
He was also truly a family man whose house was always filled with jokes, laughter and generations of happy children. His love for life and selflessness was inspiring. His smile contagious. He will be dearly missed, but always remembered by all those who had the privilege to know him.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

We were saddened to learn of Mr. Gulewich's passing. We have fond memories of him at his Greenhouse where he grew amazing plants and flowers. He was always such an obliging, kind and pleasant man who insisted on giving something a little extra for Mother's Day. We will not go past his place without thinking of him. He will be sadly missed. - Posted by: Terry and Hugh Billingham (Customer at the Greenhouse) on: Feb 27, 2021
