PETER BOYCHUK It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, on Friday, September 24, 1999 at home surrounded by his family, at the age of 73 years. He was raised in the town of Glenella, Man. In 1955, together with his wife and daughter, he moved to Winnipeg. He worked for E. J. Dixon and then was employed by C.N.R. Peter loved the outdoors. He fished, hunted and camped and bought a cabin in the Lee River area where he brought together many family and friends. In 1979 he transferred to Vancouver where he worked until his retirement in 1985. He enjoyed his winters in Phoenix, AZ where he made many good friends. His summers were spent back at Lee River with his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren whom he loved dearly. After his retirement he became an avid golfer and spent many hours golfing with family and friends. He will be dearly missed by his wife Lil of 50 years; his daughter Brenda, son-in-law Terry Mihaychuk; grandchildren, Ryan, Kara, Amanda, Cory; great-granddaughter Julia; his brother Tony Boychuk; sister Olga Stefaniuk, together with numerous nieces and nephews. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of his life will be held on Wednesday, September 29 at 11:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. with Rev. Gordon Fulford officiating. Flowers gratefully declined. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Manitoba Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation, 100 Olivia St., Winnipeg, Man., R3E 9Z9. You were always there when we needed you, there was never no task too big or small. We all prayed that God would make you well one day, but now He has taken you away from us to be with Him. Now we have to look back and thank God for all the years that He gave us with you. You will never be forgotten and you will always be loved by us, your family and friends. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL in care of arrangements, 586-8044.

Cousin Peter and Dad were really close growing up: they were like brothers. We children called cousin Peter: Uncle Peter. As life evolved the partners in crime married and had families. We became one huge family. Many events were spent celebrating life and enjoying each others company. Sports: if it was hockey and a JETS game. The game was on TV and played on the radio. There was a rule: do not talk during any game. EVER. The two arm chair coaches analyzed every penalty, score, misses not to mention the fights that broke out. Coaches Peter and Bill didn't want to miss any part of the game. If you were drafted as bartender; whiskey served in a short glass with PEPSI, 1 ice cube max 2. Ukrainian lunch was served: Kolbassa, dill pickles, cheese and rye bread. During the intermission the all clear given: recaps of Mario Andretti driving sprees were recalled. They rated time, skill, pit stops (changing flat tires), and highlights of the drive. The shouts of laughter; the rehashing of their adventures growing up in rural Manitoba. I remember waiting for Uncle Peter to pick up Aunty Mary and myself. We saw a car driving at an incredible speed. Someone said; " who is that maniac? " Aunt Mary calmly replied: "its my husband." Aunt Mary spent a lot of time clutching the arm rest. Ken and Colleen; keep your dads memory alive; share the stories. May God comfort you and your families during this time of sorrow. You all are in my prayers. Colleen our dads are together in heaven, having a rye, laughing, telling jokes and getting ready to discuss the finer points of the game that will be playing this week. VICHNAYA PAMYAT Susan Bordun The Lord is crucified with two thieves one mocks Him but the other repents of his sins and says to Jesus, "Remember me when You come in Your Kingdom." (Luke 23:42) Jesus replies, "Very truly I tell you, today you shall be with me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43) As we sing "Memory eternal" for our departed loved-ones, we are saying, "Remember them, Lord, when You come in Your Kingdom". - Posted by: Susan Bordun (cousin) on: Oct 28, 2019
