| 201 | Obituary Gertrude Lukey of Weyburn, SK passed away at Regina General Hospital on November 6th, 2013 at the age of 84 years. Gertrude will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Bob; her children: Carol (Russ) Roome, Weyburn, Ron (Helene) Lukey, Marquette, MI, Janet (Lorne) Ebel, Weyburn, Simone (Doug) McCosh, Saskatoon, Evan (Sherry) Lukey, Coldstream, BC, Brian Lukey, Burnaby, BC, Adele (John) Popp, Erickson, MB. She will be sadly missed by her 13 grandchildren, one great-grandson; brothers Alfred, Dave (Linda), Orville (Bev) Ottenbreit; sister-in-law Pat Ottenbreit; brother-in-law Walter Lukey; her aunt Clara Ungar and her many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Gertrude was predeceased by her parents Frank and Caroline (Exner) Ottenbreit, her twin sister Julia Hicke and her in-laws Simon and Irene Lukey. Gert Lukey was many things - a devoted, faith-filled Catholic, a choir member, a member of the Catholic Women's League, a Brownie leader, a world traveller, a knitter, a great cook, the family historian, but mostly Gert was a mom, in the fullest sense of the word. She was a mom to her seven children - Carol, Ron, Janet, Simone, Evan, Brian and Adele. She was a grandmother to her thirteen beloved grandchildren, a great grandmother to her one special great grandson and she was a mom to her mom when Gert took care of her through her last days. Gert had many hobbies to keep her busy, needle-work, cards, but her greatest pastime was keeping track of all she met - family and strangers alike. Gert was a oral family tree, she knew relatives back several generations in every direction. Upon meeting someone, she would also waste no time in finding out the person’s genealogical background and invariably make a special, personal connection with them. Christmas and Easter celebrations were always a special time for Gert with lots of family over for fun and games and those great meals filled with the wonderful food of the season. Gert revelled in the many Ottenbreit and Lukey family reunions over the years. She was usually the instigator and was always the event planner and director. Just this fall, she was in the midst of planning Bob and her 60th anniversary for next August, which, naturally, would have included as much family as possible. We all have great memories of Gert which will hold us until we meet her again. The family wish to thank Dr. Mary McCollam, the staff at The Weyburn General Hospital, the Regina General Hospital and Father Gerry Bauche, Father Andrei Kachur as well as Fr. Eusebio Tubale. Prayers for Gertrude were held on Friday, November 8, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weyburn, SK with Father Gerry Bauche officiating. A Funeral Service was held on Saturday, November 9, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church with Father Andrei Kachur, officiating. Interment followed at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn, SK. | Ottenbreit, Gertrude (Gert) (I300)

| 206 | Obituary The family of Clarence Protz of the Yorkton District, beloved husband of Sharon Protz sadly announce his passing on Thursday, May 12, 2022. Clarence was 82 years of age. Prayers will take place on Sunday, May 15 at 7:00p.m. from St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church. The Funeral Liturgy will be held on Monday, May 16 at 1:00p.m. from St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church. Interment will follow in the Yorkton City Cemetery. Memorials in memory of Clarence may be made to the St. Mary's Church Building Fund (155 Catherine St., Yorkton, SK S3N 0B9) as gifts of remembrance. Clarence John Protz was the son of Mary and Steve Protz, and brother to Archie Protz. Clarence and his family lived and farmed in the Jaroslaw District. Clarence attended Jaroslaw school that was across the road from the family farm. He played baseball for the Jaroslaw Gophers (coached by Uncle Joe Protz). He would then attend St. Joseph’s College where he would Ukrainian dance; having once or twice to wash pots and pans for detention duties from the brothers. Along with family farming, Clarence also worked at the Creamery and Poultry plant in Yorkton. Sharon, also working there met Clarence. He won Sharon’s heart over during work one afternoon lunch break. As Clarence was eating a homemade sandwich and crab apples, he offered Sharon his sandwich while sitting in his brand new green 1975 Chevy Impala. And thus their lives together began. Sharon and Clarence joined in holy matrimony on Aug 27th, 1977, at St Mary’s Church. Then the two moved into their small farm house that Clarence had bought from uncle Pete Wach. As uncle Steve Wach, taught Clarence how to operate road grader, which Clarence would grade the roads until 1982. Clarence knowing math and carpentry very well, built an extensive addition to the farmhouse. Being a skilled woodworker, he helped his father in-law cut and harvest timber that would build both Millie and Bill’s house on the farm in Norquay, as well as his and Sharon’s own home additions. Many friends and family would help with the building. Clarence was a wonderful son in law who won everyone’s hearts in the family in no time. Christmas was a shared holiday with the whole family that included religious celebration, food, and fun card games that lasted until the early morning. After seven years of marriage, Sharon and Clarence welcomed the arrival of their sons Trevor and Travis; their family was finally complete. Life on the farm began a new chapter for Sharon and Clarence. Clarence loved to teach all that he knew about farming to his sons, and continued to share all of his ideas as they grew. The boys were able to ride and steer the tractor while sitting on Clarence’s lap, where there was always a secure nap area made behind the tractor seat for them. Clarence loved supporting the boys after school activities, like Ukrainian dance, baseball, and hockey. Together the family enjoyed fishing at Tobin Lake, quadding, snow machining, skiing, curling, and camping. Clarence and family would attended Sunday mass, Friday rosary, visits to the cemetery, and annual trips to the beautiful Rama Grotto. Road trips would include the rosary, as it was an important and enjoyable part of the family travels. As the years passed, Sharon and Clarence took pride in their boy’s ability to work the land and raise the cattle; it is one of Sharon and Clarence’s proudest moments. Clarence would retire from farming but was proud to see his farm enter the fourth generation in the good hands of his son Trevor. Trevor, alongside with the help of his family Geraldine, Taylor, and Brooklyn, who continue to expand and grow the farm. The farm first broke ground in 1897 by Maxim, which was continued by Steve, to Clarence, and now Trevor. Clarence had patience of gold for everyone but especially during harvest when his green horn sister in-laws began operating combines and driving grain trucks. Clarence would be appreciative of the skilled neighbours that would come help wrap up harvest on the farm. And would happily return the favour when needed. Tailgate supper and jars of coffee were fine dining during harvest, as Clarence always enjoyed friends and neighbours coming over for coffee at the farm. No matter the occasion he would make time for conversation around the truck box where the best decisions were made. As cousin John said, “Clarence would even park the seeder to have a good visitâ€. Clarence had a fond love for all gatherings, reunions, anniversaries, weddings, and birthday celebrations. He enjoyed dancing too, as Maple Sugar would be a sure way to get him out on the dance floor. Clarence spent his last days peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family. He still continued to enjoy the company of friends that stopped by for visits. He passed peacefully at home on May 12th, 2022, and will forever remain in our hearts, as he will be missed by all who loved and knew him. Forever loved by his wife Sharon, his sons Trevor and Travis†, and his family. | Protz, Clarence John (I192)

Nellie was the youngest of 8, having 1 sister and 6 brothers. Nellie's parents had immigrated from Ukraine separately, met in Winnipeg, married and headed west to homestead near Norquay. Nellie received her education at Westerlund and Norquay Schools. At 10 years of age Nellie was at home sick for a week when the doctor decided she must be sent to the hospital 30 miles away in Canora. They made a bed in the sleigh and travelled by team and sleigh to hospital where she had her ruptured appendix removed the following morning. After completing her grade 11, the highest grade available in Norquay, Nellie helped on the family farm. In 1942 Nellie got a job with the bank of Toronto, later the Toronto Dominion Bank. In 1952she came back home to care for her father when her mother passed away. Her father passed away in 1953. She went back to the T.D. Bank until 1960, working in various branches in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and British Columbia. Nellie met Russell Long during W.W.II and on September 6, 1957 they married in Preeceville. In 1960 their first daughter, Susan, was born, and in 1962 their second daughter, Shirley. Nellie stayed at home with the children then. From 1967 to 1972 Nellie was Secretary Treasurer for the Preeceville Rural Telephone Co. Meetings were held at her house once a month, and on those evening Russell and the girls were told to stay in their rooms and be quiet! In 1972 Nellie started working at Formo Motors Ltd. in Preeceville as the accountant bookkeeper. In 1986 she retired from Formo Motors. Nellie loved gardening, knitting, and spending as much time as possible with the grand children. She was also an avid curler. Many winters were spent in rinks attending bonspiels and socializing! Another love was Bingo. She often attended locally and loved Kinsmen Radio Bingo on Saturday nights. Her luck was frequent! She was a member of Beta Sigma Phi in Preeceville, a fellowship centered on positive lifestyles. Nellie was a Founding Member of the Preeceville and District Heritage Museum and received an Honorary Lifetime Membership in 2014. Nellie and Russell were also members of Club 60 in Preeceville and it was there Nellie enjoyed carpet bowling. Her most noted involvement was in the CWL which she became a member of in 1957. It was just over the last couple of years that it became too difficult for her to attend. But her faith grew even stronger. She also sang for years in the St. Patrick Church choir. Nellie loved going downtown each day for coffee to socialize, a practice she started with Russell. She loved fall suppers, Christmas concerts, and carol festivals. But the time when you really saw her face light up was then the grand children and great grandchildren came over. They were her world. Nellie was predeceased by her parents in 1952 and 1953, her husband Russell in 2005, and all her siblings. She leaves to mourn daughter Susan (Jim), daughter Shirley (Dervin), 3 grand daughters Alishia, Carmilla (Matt), and Jerrica (Andrew), 6 Great Grandchildren Reagen, Tanesha, Quilana, Torsten, Sadie, and Emeric, 2 sisters-in-law Anne Lukey and Margaret Lukey, and numerous nieces and nephews. | Lukey, Nellie Annie (I85)

Tony joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1942 and served overseas on the HCMS Loch Achenault. After the war, Tony returned to Saskatchewan. On November 8, 1952, he married Kathryn (Kay) Kardynal in Stenen. He bought the family farm just north of town and farmed there until 1967. His four children were born during these years. Tony moved west with his brother John in 1967, and worked at the APD Sawmill until his retirement. Many of these years were spent 'chasing whistles' as a millwright. Tony could fix anything.

He was 78 years of age. Maurice Joseph Yachyshen was born on November 16, 1928 in the Rama district of Saskatchewan; a son of Nicholas and Mary (nee Groshko) Yachyshen. Maurice grew up on the family farm and attended Boxmoor School and then Rama School. He completed his education as a student resident at St. Joseph's College in Yorkton.

Maurice enjoyed practical jokes and laughed at the outcome. He loved music, playing guitar, singing, whistling or humming as was evident to all! As well, if there was a dance; you could be sure Maurice was found on the dance floor. In 1952 Maurice Joseph was united in marriage to Helen Theresa Korchinski. They settled in the Mainroad District to farm and break the land. Toiling many laborious hours by the sweat of his brow and with Helen by his side; his ability to work with his team of horses to take the burden of pulling was amazing. The family moved to the Bellindean district and farmed for a couple of years then moved near Rama continuing to farm. In 1970 the family moved to Yorkton, where they have since resided. Maurice continued to farm in Rama with his family helping him on weekends and holidays. At the end of a long work day, Maurice always reflected with laughter and jokes about the adventures of the day. Later in life, Maurice's fondest times and enjoyment was to rebuild a cabin at Canora Beach. He was admired as an "Artist" erecting a work of art with his own hands. In his senior years Maurice was an avid gardener; being ever so proud of his abundant vegetable crop to share with his family and friends. Above all, Gido loved spending time with his children and grandchildren; telling stories about farming and the "good old days" Gido was so proud of his children and grandchildren.

Life Let me live my life from year to year, With forward face and unrelunctant soul; Not hurrying to nor turning from, the goal; Not mourning for the things that disappear In the dim past, nor holding back fear From what the future veils; But with a whole And a happy heart, that pays its toll To youth and Age And travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the hill or down, O'er rough or smooth, The journey will be joy: Still seeking what I sought when but a boy, New friendship, high adventure, And a crown, My heart will keep courage of the quest, And hope the road's last turn will Be the best Henry van Dyke | Yachyshen, Maurice Joseph (I813)

| 213 | Obituary for Anne Guliak (Jakubowski) Print Anne Guliak (nee Jakubowski) was born March 29, 1932, in Grayson, SK. She was the second of 12 children and first daughter born to John and Mary Jakubowski. This started her lifelong dedication to nurturing and caring for those around her. The family later relocated to the Rockford area, where Anne helped care for her siblings until leaving home at age 13 to work to help with the financial needs of a large family during the depression. She was employed as a household worker, nanny, cook, waitress and nursing assistant until attending college in North Battleford, where she trained to become a Certified Nursing Assistant, a career that she pursued until her retirement. Anne met her future husband, Steve Guliak, while she was working at the Norquay Hospital and while he was at home on leave from the Canadian Air Force. He immediately expressed his interest in her and soon mailed her an engagement ring from Edmonton where he was stationed. They were married on August 23, 1958, in Kamsack, SK, and soon moved to Montreal where their first two children, Donna and John, were born. They then moved to North Bay, ON, where their last child, Peter, was born before moving on to Capreol and finally settling in Melville, SK, in 1967. There Steve began to work for the railway and Anne began working first at St Peter’s Hospital and later St Paul Lutheran Home. Anne was actively involved in the Melville and Yorkton Anglican Church communities, where she often volunteered her time at church meals and fund-raising events. She was a dedicated and loving mother who always put her children first and who often took in children from the community when they needed support and a place to stay. Anne loved the people she supported at her work and did her best to make their lives as comfortable and positive as possible. Families often requested that she stay with their loved ones during their final hours. She welcomed anyone who came to join her family with open arms, adored her grandchildren and step-grandchildren, and was very happy to meet her first great-grandchild. No matter where life would take her, Anne always stayed close with and valued her brothers and sisters and their children. On any occasion, you could count on her to be snuggling a child or teasing a teenager, and there was never a shortage of hugs and laughter during family gatherings. Anne was a very energetic woman who loved off-colour jokes, dancing, baking, and canning and preserving fruits and vegetables from her husband’s large gardens. She especially loved to go have coffee and a gossip with her co-workers, neighbours and friends. Anne had a special individual bond and relationship with each of her grandchildren, and they often teased each other about who was her favourite or the smartest or best looking. This love, support and good nature all came back to her tenfold when Anne later developed Alzheimers and was supported by all of these people to continue her life in the community. Anne’s final months were spent in the hospital and nursing home where she had worked for almost 30 years. All her love and dedication to care was visited back to her by the nursing and support staff and by the constant visits from family and friends. She died peacefully after an almost 20-year battle with cancer on the morning of November 12, 2018. Anne was predeceased by her husband, Steve, her mother and father, her sister Elsie Kovas, brothers Ron and Eddie, and brother-in-law Alec Bodnar. She is survived by her children Donna (Roy) Ellert, John Guliak and Peter Guliak (Jean Dongon); grandchildren RaeAnne Ellert, Keenan (Melissa Steel) Ellert, and Parker (Kim Houdek) Ellert, and MacKenzie Guliak; great-grandchild Lux Ellert; and extended family Madden, Daphne and Dustine; brothers Willie (June) Jakubowski, Joe (Deloris) Jakubowski, Alvin (Cathy) Jakubowski and Harry Jakubowski; sisters Betty (Walter) Mantyka, Marj Bodnar, Rita Gallo and Elinor (Ken) Russell; sisters-in-law Shirley Jakubowski and Doreen Profitt; brother-in-law Bonny (Ophelia) Guliak; and many, many nephews and nieces. | Jakubowski, Anne (I3754)

| 222 | Obituary of Bruce Sorochuk It is with our deepest sadness, we announce the untimely death of our patriarch, Bruce Ernie Sorochuk, on Saturday November 25, 2017 at the age of 56. Bruce was born to Ernie and Bernadette Sorochuk on January 28,1961 in Saskatoon. He grew up on the family farm outside of Norquay Saskatchewan, where he developed into a hard-working young man. He attended school in Norquay and at Saint Vladimir College in Roblin. Starting at a young age and continuing throughout his life Bruce had a curiosity for knowledge and for how things work. As a result of this natural curiosity, Bruce became an expedition leader for a great many adventures. Bruce found love and completion with Gaylene. Over their 16 years, of marriage they created a life filled with love that radiated through those fortunate enough to be graced by their hospitality. Their passion for laughter and life has been a glowing example of partnership and love. At the age of 46, and with the support of his wife, Bruce accomplished a diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Most recently, he worked as the Construction Manager for Cameco at the Cigar Lake mine. Like many things in his life, he was passionate about the work he did and was an inspiration to many. Bruce loved to spend time with family and brought people together with both food and conversation. These gatherings took place in so many locations over the years: at the farm in Norquay, in Outlook or Saskatoon, and recently most often at the cabin - or on the pontoon boat - at Christopher Lake. Bruce had a clever mind, a sharp wit, a tender personality and he was an expert at providing advice when asked. He was a treasured mentor to so many, advising through decisions both big and small. He was proud of his Ukrainian heritage, sharing it with others and honoring tradition. Bruce is survived by his mother Bernadette Sorochuk and he was the loving father of 5 daughters: Vanessa Fantillo (Collin), Kristin Catto (Nate), Andria Adams (Mason), from his marriage with Karen; and Kaitlin Sorochuk and Angela England (Kent) from his marriage with Gaylene. Bruce was an incredible Grandpa to Christian Fantillo, Petra Catto, Wilder Catto, Aeden England, Karys England and Preston England. He was a brother to Debora Grywacheski (Len), Loretta Huska (Kerry) and Neil Sorochuk (Lynn) and had numerous nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his father, Ernie Sorochuk and we take comfort in the fact that Bruce will be greeted by his dad. Although we have lost a remarkable man, he will live on in the lessons and wisdom imparted to those fortunate enough to have shared life with him. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Bruce may be made to St.Michael’s Camp at Box 128, Kamsack, Saskatchewan, SOA 1S0. WORDS OF REMEMBRANCE FROM ANGELA ENGLAND Hello. My name is Angela England. I am one of Bruce’s daughter’s with Gaylene, my mom. Technically, one might say I’m Bruce’s stepdaughter, but he and I never saw it that way. I’m lucky to have 2 dads. Bruce came into my life when I was an adult. He met my mom in 2000. They had an arranged date through a dating service, and I remember my mom being so nervous about meeting him. On that first date, the connection between them was obvious. Even in so much as both of them confessing to each other that they had lied on their dating profiles about being non-smokers, which they chuckled about as they shared a cigarette outside the restaurant. Mom came home that night and informed me and my gramma that “This is the man I am going to marryâ€. Bruce’s feelings were mutual. Within 3 months they were talking marriage, but they decided to wait until after he introduced my mom to his 3 daughters. So, they managed to wait and were married on August 18, 2001. From the moment Bruce entered my mom’s life, he embraced all of her family with loving, open arms…myself, my little sister Kaitlin, and all the rest of the Lapetsky clan. Along with that, Kaitlin and I gained 3 sisters and a new family was born that has grown in number and closeness over time. Since joining our family, Bruce showed us he was larger than life in so many ways. I’d like to share and acknowledge some of the beautiful gifts he has given us. Food. Anyone who knows Bruce, knows how he loved food. My husband Kent and I knew we were in for some great food and great times with this man, when on our very first camping trip with him and mom, instead of hotdogs, we ate homemade lamb shishliki by the fire. Kent worried about wild animals attacking us all night after the shishliki marinade had been spilt around the campsite. He grew his own food, building a beautiful raised garden outside their home that flourished each year full of bounty which he turned into homemade horseradish, borsch, and dills. I will treasure his last batch of borsch, some of which I have in my freezer. He also brewed homemade tea from home-grown herb sprigs, with some still hanging to dry beneath their deck at home. He love to go on wild mushroom picking excursions. Bruce enjoyed using his smoker..smoking meats of all kinds that many of us were lucky enough to enjoy. He loved nice kitchen tools and gadgets and made great use of them, even including his dad Ernie’s antique pasta maker, and would share recipe ideas and cooking tips via texts almost daily. This past Thanksgiving with Collin and Vanessa, he brought home walnuts from Ontario and was excited to show us how to hull them. Some of these walnuts are in his arrangement here at the front of the church. A few years ago, he came home from Fort Mac after visiting Kristin and Nate, so excited to try to replicate some African food they had introduced him to. His latest project he had just started within the last few weeks was curing the meat for a charcuterie platter for Christmas Eve. Kaitlin and Claude, his colleague and friend from Cigar lake, have been carrying on this batch for him. I know I’ll miss his advise and be shedding more than a few tears making cabbage rolls this Christmas. Adventure. Pretty much everyone who knows Bruce has had an adventure with him. He would try anything and find things to do anywhere. He honoured life with his curiosity and savoured opportunities to grow and learn. Kent, myself, and our children were so blessed to share a cabin with Bruce and mom for several years, and Andria and Mason in recent years also made Christopher Lake their recreation destination. Vanessa and Christian, Kristin and Petra…I’m sure all have wonderful memories at Christopher Lake with Bruce. It is a terrible loss for all the grandchildren that time with him at the lake has ended, especially for little Wilder who never had a chance to be there with his grandpa. I know our kids are especially going to miss playing board games with grandpa, time by the fire, and cruising around on the pontoon boat. He loved exploring the north with trips to Crean at Waskesiu with the boats cruising the big beautiful lake, fishing, and ending in beach side hotdog roasts. Some of the drift wood from one of those Crean trips is part of the arrangement here. He and I loved planning food and snacks for those trips and would giggle at mom when she got aggravated with the food prep. Bruce found adventure in knowledge and loved learning about new things and planning …his phone or tablet was never far from reach so he could look up some piece of information that someone was wondering about. His electric bicycle was a great source of adventure for him bike riding and touring around the city … for example, last spring he rode his electric bike downtown and took in an air guitar competition .. just because…which we joined him for and had a lot of laughs. We were lucky enough to live 5 houses down from Bruce, mom and Kaitlin…and in summer months would often see him cruising by our back path on his bike (very fast I might add)….it is heart wrenching to know that we will never see that again. These days I can barely look out our back window, because I used to look out and know he might be seeing the trees and sunset as well, and right now nothing feels the same knowing he is not sharing the view. Family. For Bruce, if you were family he was, as my husband put it, “all in†and he would help you in any way he could. When my husband’s father passed away Bruce stepped up and became such an amazing support for him and our family. He’s been a wonderful son-in-law to my gramma, including her on various excursions, helping her with anything she needed, and showing her patience and kindness. If he was able, he was a cheering fan at many of our kids’ hockey and football games and swim meets. He was the organizer and planner of many family reunions, loved relations and generations of people sharing time together, and simply bringing people together. Everyone felt that they had a special relationship with him..he had a way relating to people with his kind and accepting nature and quietly showered people with love. Spirit and faith. Over the years, I’ve come to regard our patriarch, Bruce, as my family’s spiritual leader. Bruce enriched my and my children’s life with much spirituality and grace. When we were recently moving, I believe he helped us sell our home, by giving us a St. Joseph statue to pray and place in our yard. It sold in 3 days. Then, when we moved into our new home, Bruce led us all around the house blessing it with Holy Water. It was so special and meaningful to me and I’ll never forget it. Thanksgiving wasn’t just for eating turkey with Bruce…he led us in sitting and sharing with each other what we were thankful for…always being sure the true meaning of celebrations were recognized. We were blessed to celebrate several traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinners with him…he would work for days on food preparation, get hay for the table and always set an empty place for those who had passed before us, following tradition. I experienced my first blessing of the Easter food basket at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with him. He had a reverence for ceremony and many dinners were started by his saying grace and making a toasts . My kids are careful to follow his rule of always making eye contact with people you are toasting with. His thought and care he put into everything infused life with meaning and enrichment. To me, Bruce was angel on earth, doing God’s work here. On Nov 19th, at about 2pm, there was an accident. From that point on, for many of us, our world has been spinning and spiralling in what seems out of control. Then started days upon days spent in the ICU waiting room with my mom and the girls, Kaitlin, Vanessa, Kristin, Andria, Bruce’s siblings, Deb and Loretta, and Neil, our partners, his mother Bernadette, and my Aunt Sheree. We found ourselves anchored there, to him and to each other. I had never spent so much time with so many of Bruce’s relatives together in one place and will be forever moved and comforted by how much we were brought together and were very much connected through that time. I know that Bruce wanted us together, supporting him and each other. And as we sat there day after day, I was struck by the goodness of these people. Bruce’s people..all influenced and grown in Bruce’s love. And now, the pain is deep and the loss is far reaching. Despite our desperate prayers and pleading for our Angel Bruce to remain with us here, he is no longer. We struggle and ask why he can’t be here with us doing God’s work…why he had to leave us now and how we will go on without him. But, like the bible verse his mother, Bernadette, carefully chose for his remembrance card says , God took him to protect his tender heart from something…and I find comfort in this. We have to let you go so God can protect you. So reluctantly saying goodbye for now, I promise to try my best to carry on things you’ve taught us, and to honour your devotion to family and God. I thank God for the time we were blessed with you in our lives, and hold on and wait for the day that I will see you again. | Sorochuk, Bruce Ernest (I426)

| 223 | Obituary of Peter Goshulak It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Peter Goshulak on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at the age of 93. He passed peacefully surrounded by his family. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather had four favorite things in life: family and friends, church and community, summers at the family cottage at Clear Lake and competing with his golfing buddies in the annual Tamarack Golf Tournament. We will be forever grateful that our parents taught us the core values of integrity, hard work, self-confidence, responsibility, giving back to the community, and spirituality. He was born on July 15, 1929, in Dauphin, Manitoba to Howard Goshulak and Malancka (Millie) Trache. Growing up, Dad’s life was not without difficulties. His father passed away when he was five, and his widowed mother raised him and his three other siblings on her own. He graduated from Little's Business College and worked with the Manitoba Department of Justice for 47-years. Dad was well-known and respected by his peers, police officers and claimants during his career as Senior Magistrate and Justice of Peace in the Brandon Judicial District, and Hearing Officer for Small Claims in the South West District. Dad met Mom at the Ukrainian Catholic Church Youth Club, and they married in 1953. They had four children within a span of nine years, and moved from Dauphin to Brandon in 1968. Dad was an active member of the Catholic Church where he enjoyed discussing Father John's homilies with him after Mass either seriously or with some funny anecdote! He was a lifelong member of the Knights of Columbus, and was appointed Sir Knight (Fourth Degree), after serving as Grand Knight (First Degree) in both the Dauphin and Brandon Councils, and Faithful Navigator (Third Degree). After retirement, our parents wintered with friends in Arizona and then Osoyoos, BC and held cherished memories of special vacations to Rome (Vatican), and family gatherings in Florida (Disney World) and Hawaii (Kauai). Dad was preceded in death by his parents and by his siblings, Walter, Mary and Alexander. He is survived by his loving wife of sixty-nine years, Waldemera “Wally†(nee Laskowich), and their four children Theresa (Ken) of Calgary, Judi (Dawn) of Brandon, Howard of Victoria and Michele (Jaime) of Ottawa, twelve grandchildren, Greg, Laura (Antoine), Jason (Flora), Eric (Lisa), Kylie, Jackie (Howie), David (Carol), Jordan, Kirstin, Laure (Sarah), Wels, and Anthony (Caitlin),and ten great grandchildren, Isabelle, Josephine, Vivienne, Sophie, Matthew, John, Elin, Joe, Eléonore and Catherine. We will forever cherish our special memories and the wonderful legacy he left behind.

| 225 | On June 4, 2020 with family at her side, Mom passed away quietly and at peace with her life, ready to meet her God in Heaven. She enjoyed and appreciated all the visitations and phone calls from her family the last weeks of her life, in fact at one time she whispered "Did you ever think that maybe I'm faking it because I like all the visitors?!" She fully participated in her last rites, asked for a specific priest and even told us his address! That evening when she awoke, she whispered "I'm still here? I really thought (after last rites) I would go, I could just go" ... She was a phenomenal woman, an incredibly strong and independent woman and made her own decisions, right to the end. We are forever grateful she was able to pass away at home, as she wished. Rose was born on the family farm southwest of Norquay, SK, the 7th of 13 children born to John & Magdalena (Rudachuk) Twerdolclib where she learned to give of her time and energy through her hard work. Living through the dirty 30's and the 40's wartime rationing, she knew the value of a dollar and how to grow, harvest, and cook the BEST food, especially her perogies, cabbage rolls and other Ukrainian delicacies! Rose married Jim Lukey on April 23, 1944 and, because Dad's regiment was stationed there, off they went to Windsor, ON where Arthur, then Larry was born. After the war, they moved back to the prairies, living in various small Manitoba and Saskatchewan CNR towns and Linda was born during this time. Finally in 1958, the family settled in Watson, SK, where Ron was born. Raising a young family was challenging enough, but Mom managed to work outside the home as well, was a contributing member of the CWL and Watson Community Club, and for fun she curled, played cards and bingo. Mom lived in Saskatoon for the last 25+ years of her life and continued her wonderfully active and happy lifestyle, fully participating and volunteering in her community, including at a seniors' care home well into her late 80's. She was very proud of her 60 year pin she received from the Catholic Women's League. Over the years she enjoyed a little travelling as well, including a trip to Spain when she was 85! She loved socializing, playing cards & bingo, knitting & crocheting, doing her ever present word puzzles, watching curling, and was an avid Toronto Blue Jay fan. Her family was her pride and joy and she helped each and every one of us in her own generous way, right up until early March, 2020 when she was hospitalized for a week, with a heart attack, She literally went from "95" to stop. Just as if she planned it. She always said she did not want to be a burden on anyone. She got her wish. Rest in peace, mama. WE LOVE YOU, WE WILL FOREVER MISS YOU. Rose is survived by her 4 children: ARTHUR (Anita Ford) of North Vancouver, BC and his sons Timothy & Robert; LARRY (Dianne Lockhart) of Stony Plain, AB and their children Trevor (Ann Bradley) Emma & Spencer, and Melissa (Bob Bezushko) Kaz & Sam; LINDA (Lorne Binsfeld) of Saskatoon, SK and their children Clint (Corienne Gamola) Jared & Amy, Ian, Sarah (Jason Olaski) Jackson; RON (Heather Kreinke) of Saskatoon, SK and their children Reid & Rylee. She is also survived by 2 sisters Cecelia Dernisky (John, deceased) of Yorkton, SK and Anne Repzuk (Eddie, deceased) of Edmonton, AB, as well as many nieces, nephews, in-laws, friends. Rose was predeceased by her husband, her parents, and by siblings Victor (Mary Ginetz), Mary (Bill) Woloschuk, Elizabeth (Ed) Sheluk, Violet, Albert (Pat Smith), William, Allan (Jean), Marian, Louise (John) Shanahan, Martin. | Twerdoclib, Rose Helen (I113)
