Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryROY HAROLD SITKO August 11, 1929 - March 6, 2018 Roy slipped away peacefully in the early hours of March 6, 2018, to rejoin his parents, Peter and Pauline. Roy was an only child and had a special relationship with his parents. In his younger years Roy attended and graduated from St. John's High School. Roy was a member of the calligraphy club, as well as a local history buff. He was a collector of many things, an avid curler. He worked as a draftsman for the province of Manitoba for 37 years until taking his retirement in 1991. Roy spent a good part of his retirement volunteering for charity. His pastimes included hunting and fishing, horse racing and bridge. He would never turn down a game of cribbage, or a good book. Roy was a member of The Champlain Society and the Manitoba Historical Society. By the Aurelian Wall, Where the long shadows of the centuries fall From Caius Cestius tomb, A weary mortal seeking rest found room For quiet burial Leaving among his friends A book of lyrics Such untold amends A traveller might make In a strange country, bidden to partake Before he farther wends BLISS CARMAN A private burial will take place at Glen Eden Memorial Gardens.

Although we lost touch for many years, I was proud to call Roy my cousin. I have many fond memories of visiting their home. Running into him in strange places, stealing strawberries from the garden. Resting among the angels and laughing at us mere mortals. 🙏🕊🪽💋💞💕 - Posted by: Cherylene (Cousin ) on: Dec 18, 2023

I worked with Roy at Crown Lands in the mid-1980s, amongst a bunch of illustrious and anomalous characters. He was an amazing person with an intricate knowledge of Canadian history and a shared penchant for neologism (we co-coined the term "Squarks" for people who were operating at less than optimal performance). I lost touch with him over the years but always wondered how he was doing. A good guy who made other people happy. - Posted by: Dr. Paul Hughes (Former co-worker) on: Mar 12, 2018
