  HUSKA, Michael 1934 - 2005 On December 20, 2005, Mike Huska passed away after a courageous battle with ALS. A father, husband, brother, grandfather, policeman, and friend to many, Mike rests in peace and dignity. Mike is survived by his loving wife, Marge of 48 years; and four daughters, Loretta (Fernando) Jiminez, Jenny (Don) Logan, Marty (Darrell) O'Hara, and Connie (Tony) Romaniuk. He will be greatly and forever missed by his grandchildren, Ryan, Tara, Brittany, Christopher, Tasch, Robyn, and Carly. Mike is survived by his brother, Lawrence of Winnipeg; sister, Dorothy of Saskatoon; and brother, Tom of Beaumont. We all miss him so much! He was predeceased by his father Dimytro; mother, Anne; and older brother, Eugene. Mike was born at home in Norquay, Saskatchewan, studied engineering at university in Saskatoon, and later joined the Edmonton Police Service in 1954. During his distinguished career, Mike earned a law degree at the University of Alberta, becoming the first police officer in Canada to gain this distinction, as well as Legal Advisor to the Chief of Police and after 31 years, retired from the EPS in 1985 at the rank of Inspector. Mike's penchant for all matters of history and knowledge, created an entertaining historian who was never at a loss for words. Mike treated everyone he met with equity and fairness.The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the staff on the 4th floor unit at the Misericordia Hospital, and Patricia from the ALS Society for their lengthy and loving care, concern and compassion. Prayer Services will be held on Thursday, December 22 at 6:00 p.m. at Park Memorial Chapel, 9709 - 111 Avenue.
