MICHAEL FUZ With great sadness, we announce that our beloved Dad and Gigi passed away on Wednesday, July 2, 2014 at the Beausejour District Hospital at the age of 91 years. Mike was born October 12, 1922, one of eight children. Mike married Olga Leochko on November 18, 1949 and together they raised their daughter Shelley on the farm in Poplarfield. They were married for 40 years until March 1990 upon her sudden passing. He continued to live on the farm until 1999 and then moved to Poplarvilla where he resided until the end of May. Although in recent years he struggled with the loss of his eyesight, his independence proved to be dominant. His determination to be on his own and not a burden to anyone else was of utmost importance to him. Mike leaves to mourn his passing, daughter Shelley, son-in-law Jim and granddaughters Richelle and Kristyn whom he cherished. He is survived by brother Tony (Dorothy), sisters Margie and Joyce (James), and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father John, mother Justine, brother Steve, and sisters Pearl, Annie and Mary. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at the Poplarfield Community Centre. Interment will follow at the Poplarfield Community Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Richelle Okaluk, Kristyn Okaluk, Gordie Fuz, Percy Fuz, Derek Wall and Darren Tanner. Memorial donations may be made to a charity of one's choice. FISHER FUNERAL HOME INC.

Your dad & gigi was a wonderful man with a gentle soul and spirit. Our deepest sympathies go out to you Shelley, Jim, Richelle and Kristyn as well as Derek and Darren. Shelley, your mom & dad raised a daughter that anyone would be proud off & they'll live on forever in you as you have all their best traits as a wife, mother and friend & your cookings amazing too which I know mom & dad both did well! Jim you were the best son in law always there when needed so I think you were more like their son. Richelle, Kristyn You both were amzing granddaughters. You could see the pride in their eyes. Derek and Darren you never got to meet Baba but had the pleasure of knowing gigi and were both considered his grandson's in his eyes. Darren, I saw how you cared for gigi at Richelle's wedding. I was touched. He'll live forever in your hearts & memories. I'm paying tribute to both your mom and dad as you can't talk about one without remembering the other. Peace be with you all.
