GARRY H. SHAPERA
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved, Garry. He is predeceased by his wife Doreen, his mother and father, Rose and Dr. George Shapera.
Garry was born in Winnipeg on February 6, 1936. After his schooling at Ryerson, he worked for the Manitoba Hydro until his retirement.
He was very soft spoken, thoughtful and kind. He was handy and always helpful to anyone in need. He volunteered with the Teddy Bear Picnic for 30 plus years. Family was the most important thing in his life. He loved to spend time with his family both in Winnipeg and Toronto. He was involved with everything his kids and grandkids were doing and never missed a Simcha.
His son David, and daughter Shayla, got to spend many quality hours with him in person and virtually. He leaves behind his brothers, Earnie (Cookie), and Neil (Nancy); his children, David (Karen), Shayla (Eddie); and grandchildren, Jordan, Gavin, Eric (Laura) and Gillian; plus countless nieces, nephews and friends.
Funeral services were held at Rosh Pina Memorial Cemetery on July 31, 2024.
Garry will be greatly missed by his family, friends and his rabbits.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, donations can be made to the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba or a charity of your choice.
