Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryWALTER BABIUK It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather Walter Babiuk. He passed away March 26, 2014 at Victoria Hospital at the age of 79 years. He was predeceased by his parents Kost and Mary Babiuk. He is survived by his wife Edna, daughter Saundra {Ralph), son Darrin (Cindi), grandchildren Madison and Riley, sisters Helen (George), Ollie (Gordon), Betty, and brothers George (Lil), and Ed (Joan). Walter was born on July 31, 1934 in Chisholm, AB and spent his years growing up in Andrew, AB with his caring and fun loving siblings. After graduating from the Northern Alberta lnstitute of Technology, he began his career at lnland Cement in Regina. It was here he met and married his beloved wife Edna. They later moved to Winnipeg where he continued his work at lnland as a Plant Chemist and Sales Manager, retiring in 1999, after 40 years of dedicated service. Years later, he would still look forward to meeting up with the guys for regular get-togethers. Walter will always be remembered as a generous, kind-hearted family man. He was proud of his Ukrainian roots and enjoyed making his famous perogies for family gatherings. He had a special fondness for the family dogs, showering them with treats and attention. Walter was a very hard worker, not only at lnland, but around the house and the family cottage in Belair, MB spending years building a wonderful retreat, where we enjoyed many great moments. Walter and Edna travelled to Osoyoos, BC over many winters to visit friends and escape our crazy Manitoba winters. Walter was also gracious with his time helping friends and family with many projects on the go. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him. The family would like to thank the staff at Victoria Hospital for all their efforts. A celebration of Walter's life will take place on Thursday, April 3 at 2:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Flowers are gratefully declined, however, consider making a donation in memory of Walter to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or a charity of one's choice.
