MICHAEL MAMCHUR April 1, 1925 - January 14, 2002 It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of our husband, dad and grandpa on Monday, January 14, 2002 at the age of 76. He was predeceased by his father Stephan, mother Anastasia, and infant brother Johnnie. Michael immigrated to Canada from Razniow, Poland in 1931. He farmed in both Tyndall and Libau areas and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was young at heart and always looked forward to spending time with family and friends, especially for a game of cards and conversation. He served on various boards and was an active member of his church all his life. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Anne of 47 years, son David (Holly) two daughters, Christine Kuz (Bob), and Michelle; as well as granddaughters, Jordyn, Meagan and Lindsay Mamchur and Sara and Natalie Kuz. He also leaves two sisters, Mary Plazio of Beausejour and Annette Schaldemose of Alberta; as well as many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the Emergency Response Team of Brokenhead and staff of Beausejour Health Centre and Health Sciences Centre for all their efforts. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Michaels memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 301 - 352 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 2H8. Prayers will be held at Gilbart Funeral Home in Selkirk, MB on Thursday, January 17 at 8:30 p.m. Funeral Rites will be celebrated on Friday, January 18 at 10:00 a.m. at the St. Nicholas Ukrainian Orthodox Church, 6594 Henderson Hwy., in Gonor, MB, with Rev. Alexander Harkavji presiding. Interment will follow at the Tyndall Cemetery. I can look back and remember the love you had for us by looking into your eyes. But what I didnt tell you was that your presence lit up my space like a warm sunrise. I hope all children have a gentle hero in their life like I had. Because nothing compares to the unconditional love of a dad. Life judges us by the way we make our everyday choices. Sometimes, instead of looking out for ourselves, we succumb to our weaknesses and get distracted by other inner voices. I will miss you dad and continue to love you with all my heart. I will turn back time in my mind and rely on our good memories to fill the void until we are no longer apart. You will be my inspiration to achieving new goals. I will follow in your legacy in bringing joy to little girls souls. Regardless of your insecurities and scars, I wouldnt have changed a thing about you dad, because you were the best dad by far. Ill Love You Forever Michelle Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
