JOHN DZIADYKEWICH It is with great sorrow and sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, John Dziadykewich on Monday, October 9, 2000, after a long courageous battle with cancer. His memory will be lovingly cherished forever by his daughters, Victoria Cherepak (Edward), Diana Cherepak (George) grandchildren, Barry (Gillian) Cherepak, Vincent (Kathy) Cherepak, Tim (Heather) Cherepak, Richard (Yolande) Cherepak, Sondra (Juraj) Bohna, Glenn (Cindy) Cherepak; great-grandchildren, Jarrett Cherepak, Gabrielle and Addison Bohna, Clare Cherepak; also numerous family and friends. Dad was predeceased by his wife Mary; his parents, Bill and Ann and his grandparents, Peter and Maria. John was born on June 23, 1918 in Winnipeg, lived in Ledwyn where he farmed with his parents. In 1959 he became a barber and in 1960 bought his Barbershop in Arborg, where he resided until he retired. John and Mary then moved to Meleb, where he enjoyed hobbies such as hunting, fishing, gardening, carpentry and hat collecting which was surpassed by none. John was known for his immaculate vehicles and took great pride in them. Some of his fondest memories were of family gatherings and his weekend fishing trips to Finns and the Hecla Causeway. In later years John returned to Arborg, joined the Seniors Club where he enjoyed all the activities and spoke often of his morning coffee at the CO-OP with all his friends. A memorial service will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 14 in the Arborg (MacKenzie) Funeral Chapel. Pastor Tom Gerbrandt will officiate followed by a private family interment in St. Johns Cemetery in Ledwyn, Man. The family wishes to express our deep appreciation for the loving care given to Dad by the Doctors and nursing staff at the Arborg and District Health Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Emerald Suite at the Arborg and District Health Centre. Arborg (MacKenzie) Funeral Home in care of the arrangements.
