BORYS DMITRI BOYKO Borys Dmitri Boyko passed away Friday, May 11, 2007, after a brief but determined battle with cancer, in his 82nd year. Borys, son of the late Helen and Dmytro Boyko, was born in north end Winnipeg. His brother, Eugene, predeceased him in 2000. Borys served in the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry during the Second World War. He worked in many fields including the Burns Meat Packaging Plant and the trucking industry. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to manage the House of Aquarius Steakhouse, L'ècole du Mannequin and several artists in the music and dance scene of the 1970s to 1980s. Borys also established a small accounting firm and continued to work as a public accountant in Winnipeg until the time of his death. He cherished the many lasting friendships he formed with individual and small family business clients. Borys is survived by sons, Ron (Maxine), Terry and Darrell, daughter Susan (Konrad), grandsons, Ron Jr. and Nicholas and wife Alina. Following a family interment at Brookside Cemetery, Saturday, May 19, 2007, a come and go gathering was held at the Wheeler Funeral Chapel on Regent Street, where family and friends shared many stories. The family would like to thank the WHRA Palliative Care Program for the assistance provided to make it possible to respect Borys' wish to die in his home.
