WALTER ALEXANDER MIECHKOTA With great sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and gigi on Thursday, June 15, 2001. Walters memory will be forever treasured by his wife of 48 years, Katherine; his sons, Ron (Lorelie) and Patrick; his grandchildren, Aaron, Brooke, Alexander; and great-grandchild Skye. Walters memory will also be cherished by his two sisters, Olga and Mary. Walter was born in the Ukraine on Tuesday, January 2, 1923 to Perry and Alexander Miechkota. He married Katherine Bugiera of Winnipeg in 1952 and worked most of his career for C.N.R. Walter was an active member of Our Lady of Perpetual Ukrainian Catholic Church until its closure.
