JOHN MELNICHUK It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of John Melnichuk, aged 77 years, at the Concordia Hospital on Sunday, November 21, 2004 after a lengthy illness and with his family by his side. He is survived by his soulmate Eleanor; sons, John (Norma), Danny; and daughters, Cheryl, Donna; grandchildren, Greg (Ann) and Robyn (Chris), Brett, Darcy, Melissa, Tamara, Joey and Samantha; great-grandchildren, Mattea, Tessa and Nyshel. Also surviving are sisters, Kay McMillan and Elaine Phelps and many nieces and nephews. John was predeceased by wife Peggy; parents, Wilma and George; brother William; and sisters, Pauline, Mary, Ann and Jeannie. John was born in Estevan, SK on August 29, 1927. After his schooling in Winnipeg, he began a lifetime employment in construction (stucco his specialty). His work took him to Red Lake, Kelowna and back to Winnipeg where he retired. At Johns request, cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held Friday, November 26 at 11:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Our family would like to extend our appreciation to Dr. Homik and Debbie, and to the doctors and nurses in the ICU at Concordia Hospital for going that "extra mile" in trying to make Dads last days as comfortable as possible. In lieu of flowers, if so desired, a donation in Johns memory may be made to a charity of ones choice. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
