LAWRENCE VICTOR CHERPAKO It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of Lawrence on Saturday, January 7, 2017, at the Seven Oaks Hospital, at the age of 72 years. Lawrence will be sadly missed by his beloved wife Gail and son Lawson. He is also survived by brothers Len (Rose), Melvin (Nellie), nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Kathleen and John, parents-in-law Olga and John Pushka. Lawrence was born in Winnipeg on December 22, 1944 and was raised and educated in the RM of Springfield. He worked for the Manitoba Telephone System for over 35 years. Lawrence and Gail were married for 44 years and were blessed with the birth of their son Lawson, who was their greatest joy. Lawrence was a member of the Knights of Columbus and for over 40 years was a Bomber season ticket holder and a member of the Elmhurst Golf and Country Club. He enjoyed being outdoors and his hobbies were building, gardening and landscaping. He loved his time with his pets and also had a great sense of humour and enjoyed telling jokes. Special thanks to the physicians, physiotherapists, and caregivers at the Holy Family Home and the Movement Centre who helped Lawrence. Divine Liturgy will be held on Monday, January 16, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at the Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church in Cooks Creek with Father Taras Kowch presiding. Interment will follow at a later date at the Pineridge Cemetery in Birds Hill Park. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Lawrence's memory to a charity of your choice.
