HARRY KUDLAK
November 01, 2004
HARRY KUDLAK July 30, 1910 - October 29, 2004 Peacefully on Friday, October 29, 2004, Harry aged 94 years, passed away at the Holy Family Nursing Home. Dad was predeceased in February 2002, by his wife of over 60 years Evelyn Olga, who would have been 88 on October 28. I'm sure Mom forgave Dad for being a day late to help her celebrate her birthday. He was also predeceased by his parents, two brothers and a sister. Dad leaves behind his daughter Judy Porter of White Rock, BC and his grandson Christopher Porter of Vancouver, BC. In Winnipeg he was fortunate to have a very caring family. His first cousin Joan (Lawrence) Fedowich was of great assistance to Mom and Dad as they aged, as was his nephews, Norman Kudlak and his family. Nephews, Gregory and Gordon Kudlak and his niece Joanne (Pierre) Daoust and their families also remembered their Uncle Harry and made him feel special. Dad throughout his life had many special friends, but none as special as the Frunchak family Nick and Anne and their daughter Linda (Russell) Smyrichinsky who have been family friends since Linda and Judy were babies. Lisa Smyrichinsky became an "adopted" grandchild to Mom and Dad. Thank you, dear friends. Harry's greatest joys in life were his wife Olga, daughter Judy, grandson Christopher and his church, St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church. He was very proud of the fact that he was one of the oldest surviving members of his church, as well as the oldest living Kudlak of all time. Harry spent most of his life living in north Winnipeg and working for CP Rail and then CN Rail after the war. He retired from CN Rail at the age of 65 years, after 30 years of service. He loved trains, especially the old steam engines and passed along his love of trains to anyone who would listen. Harry, Olga and Judy always travelled across Canada and the United States by train. But although Olga and Judy enjoyed the travelling, Harry would always look forward to returning to his garden and his home of 59 years in north Winnipeg. When he wasn't working or gardening, he collected rare coins, stamps and watched all sports. The family wishes to thank all the staff on the 3rd floor at the Holy Family Nursing Home, in particular nurses, Diane, Kathy, Tina, Nadia, and Viola and Dad's social worker Del, his friend Dr. Christopher Wolkenstein and all the wonderful nuns especially Sister Monica. Their kindness and care made his passing so very peaceful. Prayers will be said on Tuesday, November 2 at 8:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Divine Liturgy will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 3 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church, 737 Bannerman Ave. with Rev. Fr. Isidore Dziadyk, OSBM as celebrant. Interment to follow in Holy Family Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Harry's memory to CancerCare Manitoba, Box 2248, Stn Main, Winnipeg, MB R3C 9Z9. Dad was a quiet man, but when he did have something to say everyone listened. He was a good family man, loved his wife and daughter and especially loved his grandson Christopher. Dad will be greatly missed by all of us, who loved him, but now he's with God and with Mom and I know he's very happy. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
