WALTER RYBUCK It is with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Walter on Wednesday, September 5, 2012 at the age of 77 years. Walter is survived by his loving wife Rachel, son Jeff (Jennifer); daughter Lauren (Alan); and grandchildren Jesse, Christopher and Brendan. HE WAS THE GREATEST GRANDPA EVER! He is also survived by brothers and sisters, Ray (Lorna), John (Liz), Stan (Kathy), Margaret Michalsky, Jennie Sherman, Mildred Smook, Vicki Kruk (Eugene), Fran Domitruk (John), Irene Hamerton (Brian); as well as by a large extended family that meant the world to him. Family was always a top priority and Walter made sure that they knew they were loved and could count on him whenever they needed him. He was predeceased by his parents Stefan and Dora Rybuck; sisters Stefka, Loraine, Sylvia Thacker (Clarence) and Stephy Kohut (Danny) as well as brothers-in-law Peter Michalsky, Steve Sherman, Steve Smook and Danny Kohut. He was born on the farm at Senkiw, MB and moved to Winnipeg at a young age where he worked for Kraft Foods until his retirement. Spending winters in Florida was a special part of his retirement. While there Walter volunteered at Give Kids The World serving meals and driving the miniature train. He will be missed but he will also live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to be loved by him. A Service of Remembrance and Celebration of Walter’s Life will be held on Monday, September 10, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. in Zion Apostolic Church, 305 Machray Avenue. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Walter to Give Kids The World at www.gktw.org/help Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements.   As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on September 08, 2012
