TERRY HORBAY Suddenly at his home on April 5, 2001, Terry Horbay, of Terrys Drive Inn, age 53 years of Roblin, Man., beloved husband of Angela and loving father of Stefan and Larissa. Terry was born at Roblin, October 23, 1947, a son of Peter and Anne (nee Huculak) Horbay. He received his elementary and secondary education at Roblin and went on to the U of M in Winnipeg, where he received his B.A. (History). He then got his Real Estate License and had sold real estate for awhile. Terry was then employed with Manitoba Crop Insurance Corporation for 10 years and worked out of the Portage La Prairie office. In 1981 Terry purchased Syls Drive Inn in Roblin and renamed the Drive Inn "Terrys Drive Inn". On November 12, 1983 Terry was united in marriage to Angela Laba and together they operated the Drive Inn. After losing their Drive Inn to fire, Terry and Angela rebuilt and opened their modern Drive Inn on June 23, 1993. Terrys passion was his work, but did enjoy his golf games, baseball and hockey. Terry encouraged his children to do their best at school, and also encouraged his children and all the children of the community to become involved in sports. He had also taught his children many things about their Ukrainian Heritage. Surviving besides his beloved wife Angela Horbay of Roblin are his children, Stefan and Larissa Horbay at home; his mother Anne Horbay of Winnipeg; his brother Gerald (Myrtle) Horbay of Winnipeg and their children, Orysia (Jim) Barnes and their son Jordan, Michael Horbay and fiance Debbie, Lesya Horbay; his sister Zenovia (Dr. Basil) Zmiyiwsky of Thunder Bay, Ont., and their children, Dr. Paul (Nadia) Zmiyiwsky and their son Basil Paul of Oakville, Ont., Dr. Mark Zmiyiwsky and Vera Zmiyiwsky; his sister-in-law Linda (Clifford) Rzyhak and their children, Aundria (Brent) Novakowski, Jodi Rzyhak of Hadashville; sister-in-law Lucy (Gary) Birchall and their children, Lindsay and Gavin of Roblin; brother-in-law Tony (Marlene) Laba and their children, Tara (Richard) Inkster, Matthew (Tammy) Laba and their children, Dani-Lee and Braden.
