RUSSELL YOZEFOWICH It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather Russell. After a long illness, Russell left us peacefully late Tuesday evening at Riverview Health Centre. With family by his side, they had the opportunity to embrace and say good-bye before leaving to join his father Joseph, mother-in-law Lena, father-in-law Steve, and brother-in-law Ben, who all predeceased him. We are forever grateful that we were able to spend the last few hours with him to say our good-byes in our own special ways. Russell will be forever missed by his best friend and wife Mary of 43 years; daughter Sharon (Dale) sons, Kelvin (Lorna), Mike (Darcy) his mother Effie and seven grandchildren. Before his illness he had a full life. He was always willing to give a hand or throw in a smart comment. Russell loved to hunt and fish, and was always looking for that beaver, or that special bluff of oak to cut. If he was not asking Mom for that brown one, so he could go to town, he was in the garden. He used to like when the grandkids came for the holidays. Mike and Tony will miss him saying, Better leave one for seed. Russell was employed by B.F.I. for 28 years until his illness forced him to retire in 1989. Special thanks to all the staff at Riverview Health Centre on 4 East wing. Pallbearers will be Stanley, David and Brian Grocholski, Tony and Allen Onufreychuk and Barb Paul. Honorary pallbearer will be Alberto Castellano. If so desired, donations may be made in Russells memory to Heart and Stroke Foundation or to Canadian Diabetes Association. Prayers will be held on Sunday, April 4, at 7:00 p.m., in the chapel of Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St. Funeral service will be held on Monday, April 5, at 10:00 a.m. also at Glen Eden Funeral Home.
