Moe was surrounded by the love of his family when he passed away at the Health Sciences Centre. He will be deeply missed by his wife of 55 years, Marge (nee Boyko). He leaves to cherish his memory, his two daughters, Debbie (Paul) and Laurie, his brother Orest (Jean), his aunt Anna Moroz as well as his two grandchildren, Pierre and Angela. He will be remembered by his brother-in-law Larry (Grace), sister-in-law Gloria (Michael), various cousins, nieces and nephews. Moe was predeceased by his father, John and mother, Ann. Moe grew up in Dufrost, MB and moved to Winnipeg as a young adult where he worked for MTS for 37 years, retiring in 1990. In his spare time Moe would "tinker" in the garage or enjoy his yard. After years of travelling with the family in a trailer, he settled down and spent time building a cottage at Spruce Bay. Moe enjoyed his quiet time at home spending time with the family. Special thanks to the Health Sciences Centre 3rd Floor GD ward for their care and compassion. As per Moe's wishes, cremation has taken place.

Our condolences to the family. Andy and Maryanne Dolenuk - Posted by: Andrew Dolenuk (Worked with Moe at MTS Central Office) on: Apr 06, 2019

I worked for Moe at the Unicity and Polo Park phone centres in the 1980s. He was one of the best managers that I ever worked for, and I’ll always be grateful for the time we worked together. I always enjoyed his sense of humour. My condolences go out to his wife and family. Rest in peace Moe. - Posted by: Lori McGee (Previous employee) on: Feb 08, 2019

To Marg and family, I would like to pass on my deepest sympathy for your loss. I have many fond memories of "Uncle Morris" from my youth. I would always enjoy your visits at our old farm - they were all good times. I also remember some of the family gatherings in Dufrost. They were all great memories. Sincerely, Ted - Posted by: Ted Hotzak (Family) on: Feb 07, 2019

Maurice always told me when I called the Vernon Rack that he was the best Vernon Rackman and my answer was THE ONLY ONE. Our careers spanned the same years, often crossing paths. My condolences to you Marge and your daughters, Debbie and Laurie and the rest of the family. A good person to know. - Posted by: Robert Bull (Fellow worker at MTS) on: Feb 06, 2019

Dear Debbie, Laurie, Mrs. Bylyna and family - I am so sorry to learn of Mr. Bylyna's passing. I have such good memories of being at your home, for sleepovers or just the girls hanging out. Mr. Bylyna was always smiling and was always kind and welcoming to our little gang of friends. Sending you my deepest sympathies. - Posted by: Glynis Corkal (Debbie's friend) on: Feb 05, 2019
