He married Anne and had three sons, John, Gerry and Bill. He worked for the Canadian National Railway and retired as a machinist at 65 years of age. His love of fishing started as a young boy, and he kept this love right until his passing. His two best fishing partners, Bill Feschuk and Nick Babiuk have been waiting for their partner for many years, but all are probably already scouting out their favourite spots on the Winnipeg River at Pointe Du Bois. Funeral services will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street at Luxton Avenue in Winnipeg commencing at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 12, 2014, with interment following at Elmwood cemetery. Dad would like to thank his friends at Kildonan Home for visiting and staying in touch. Your visits and calls were the highlight of his day. Cropo Funeral Chapel 204-586-8044

I have very fond memories of both Mr and Mrs Feschuk spending time with us at the family cottage in Lac du Bonnet. I remember always wanting to go fishing with my grandpa and Mr Feschuk. I can just imagine the reunion they are having right now! RIP Mr Feschuk - Posted by: Renee Sicotte (grand daughter to Nick Babuik) on: Aug 25, 2014

I met George Feschuk at his grandson's wedding at Priddis, AB roughly ten years ago. He was a vibrant man of about 92 years old at that time. We had a great chat. Over the years, I have followed George's life and fishing episodes through his son, Gerry, who flew to Winnipeg on a regular basis to visit his Pappy and often take him fishing. It is great that George Feschuk lived to be 102 years. Our thoughts and condolences go out the the Feschuk families on their loss. - Posted by: Bob MacDonald & Patricia Hetherington-Keys - Calgary,AB. (Friends of son, Gerry Feschuk) on: Jun 11, 2014

I will miss Grandpa and will always remember him and what he meant to our family. I will always remember going fishing with Grandpa on the Winnipeg River and hearing his stories of the old country and working on the extra gang of the CNR. You will be loved but never forgotten. - Posted by: Robert Ford (Grandson) on: Jun 08, 2014
