JOHN WARREN WILLIAMS Suddenly, on August 3, 2000, Johnny, aged 57, beloved husband of Shelley, passed away. He was predeceased by his parents, Joe and Elsie; two brothers, Ken and Leslie; father-in-law Mike Gulyas; and brother-in-law Manny Power. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Shelley; brother Bud Williams (Barbara) sisters, Vicki Power, Babs Ellis and Peggy Taylor (Robby) mother-in-law Pauline Gulyas; sister-in-law Mary Williams; brothers-in-law, Larry Gulyas (Shirley) and Jeff Gulyas (Sharon) nephews and nieces, Joey (Marilyn), Linda (Jim), George (Nina), Christine, Daniel (Laura), John (Espi), Bill (Peggy), Barbara, Karen, Kim, Kendra Dee, Meagan, Trevor, Kevin, Amanda; and many grand-nephews and nieces; as well as many friends. Johnny was born and raised in Winnipeg. He worked with Canada Post for over 30 years and spent a good part of his life walking the streets of St. James delivering mail until his retirement in 1998. He was from the old school of what makes a good postman. He would always find a moment to stop and chat with friends along his many routes. He loved children and dogs and especially his cat Willie. He adored his many nephews, nieces, grand-nephews and grand-nieces. He was an avid horseman and loved to stand by the rail and watch the morning workouts of the thoroughbreds at Assiniboia Downs. Johnny was an active member of Brimstone Stable and you could always find him in the track kitchen on the backside, telling stories of his next winner. Most recently he took up writing for the Daily Racing and was enjoying the challenge of creating a column. Johnny always found time to help family and friends and he was always right there when help was needed. We will forever remember his smile, laughter and his love. Service will take place at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave. on Wednesday, August 9 at 12:30 p.m., with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation, 301-352 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 2H8 in Johnnys memory.
