BULBUCK: Perry Alexander Bulbuck, February 6, 1959 - January 18, 2017. It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, brother, uncle and great uncle, Perry Alexander Bulbuck at his winter home in Phoenix, AZ. On January 18, 2017, he returned to his heavenly home. Perry was born on February 6, 1959, to Alec and Ida Bulbuk, at the Sacred Heart Hospital in Russell, MB. He was raised in a loving home with four sisters and one brother. He received his life’s calling at a very young age due to the sudden passing of his mother. This influenced him wanting to dedicate his own life to serve and support others who experienced death. Perry spent his elementary years in Inglis and attended high school at Major Pratt Collegiate in Russell. After his senior school years, he accepted a position at The Children’s Aid Society in Brandon, Manitoba where he found his true passion of working with people. He loved encouraging, guiding and interacting with people of all ages. This led him to pursue his dream of becoming involved in funeral service. In 1981 he fulfilled his life’s calling and soul aspiration in acquiring his first funeral home and becoming the director of Braendle-Bruce Funeral Service in Russell, Manitoba. He then went on to earn his Funeral Director and Embalmer’s Certificate in 1987 from the Western School of Mortuary Practice. He handled business like he handled life, with passion, determination, precision, attention to detail, care, and accuracy. He was meticulous in all his efforts and was never side tracked from his purpose.  Nothing was ever over-looked, especially when it came to the people he was serving. Besides his business and service to Russell and the growing surrounding area, he continued to support initiatives, held board positions and sat on various committees and took a great interest in politics. In addition, he volunteered many hours serving others due to his compassion and love for the people around him. Perry was an incredible business man, however, he always took time for those less fortunate and for every child that crossed his path. He had an infectious grin and was always putting a smile on everyone else’s face. Always a child at heart he took great joy in spending time with the children in his life. Perry loved swimming, reading, riding a quad and especially spending time at his cabin in the valley with family and friends. The things that were important to him, he accomplished with his whole being. After 35 years of service with Braendle-Bruce, he was applauded for his passion and encouraged to continue for the purpose that God had placed him on earth. It was not hard for Perry as he found his greatest joy in serving others. Perry is predeceased by his mother, Ida. Left to mourn is his loving father, Alec; sisters, Gia Davidson, Cindy St. Hilaire, Beverly Bulbuck, Glenda (Murray) Zimmer; brother Troy Bulbuck, nieces, nephews, Tara (Dwayne), Emily, Jessica Sydor; Travis (Kerri) Davidson; Amanda, Dominyck, Michael, Sami St. Hilaire; Jamie, Vander, Brooklyn St. Hilaire; Brianne, Katarina Zimmer; Brandon, Kyla and Jayden Bulbuck. Also left to grieve are aunts, uncles, many other extended family members, friends and his work family. He leaves behind a legacy and will be greatly missed by those he knew and influenced during his life.“Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call; I turned my back and left it all.”The funeral service will be held on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. from the George P.
