ROBERT WALDER
December 04, 2004
ROBERT LINDSAY WALDER The family and friends of Robert Walder sadly announce his death at the age of 44, on November 30, 2004. Robert won a battle with Hodgkins Disease when he was 17, but when it recurred in April of this year, he lost the struggle despite using all of his fighting spirit, which was a vital part of his life. Deeply mourning Robert's death are his beloved partner Tammie Vautour; his son Benjamin Lazar Walder; his mother Marilyn; sisters and brothers-in-law, Sheree Walder Morantz and Richard Morantz and Lori Walder and Sandy White; his nephews and niece, Ethan, Sean and Emily Morantz, and Elijah and Samuel White; his devoted uncle Howard Cohen; and cousins, Joshua and Matthew, aunt Marsha Cohen; close friend/brother Norman Voth; and Jason and Maria, who provided such support. Robert will also be missed by Wendy Walder and the Barker family. Robert was predeceased by his father Larry (Lazar) Walder; and his grandparents, Sidney and Edythe Cohen. Robert lived life with a passion, which infused every aspect of his being, whether it was music, his artistic creativity, sports, politics or his thirst for knowledge. Robert was a football player from a young age and was proud of his accomplishments as a Fort Garry Lion. His love of football continued into his adult life as an ardent Bomber fan and armchair analyst. His later pursuits included skiing and golf. Robert fancied himself a music maven and spent much of his 20s declaring, "The Clash is the only band that matters." Robert's education was interrupted by his first bout with Hodgkins Disease but this gave him the opportunity to find his vocation when he became a childcare worker. His passion for the child welfare field led him to begin attending university in 1987 and, while continuing as a childcare worker, graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work degree in 1996. The greatest miracle of his life was becoming a father at the age of 43 with the birth of Benjamin and while Robert will not be here to watch Benjamin grow up, he will always be watching over him. A graveside service conducted by Rabbi Lawrence Pinsker was held at the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery on December 1, following which family and friends joined in a celebration of Robert's life at The Fort Garry Hotel. Much appreciation and gratitude is extended to the staff in Ward 6 GD and the Medical Intensive Care Unit at the Health Sciences Centre. An education trust fund is being established for Benjamin. Those wishing to contribute may contact Sheree Walder, Myers Weinberg, 926-1519.

TONY PUHACH
December 05, 2004
TONY PUHACH April 27, 1913 - December 3, 2004 Another Canadian who was born
in a log cabin heated by a woodstove and who lived to travel in jet aircraft and fuel injected cars, Tony Puhach passed away at the McCreary/Alonsa Regional Health Centre in McCreary, MB on Friday, December 3, 2004 in his 92nd year. Tony was the first born
of new Canadian migrants, the late John and Irene Puhach of the Glenhope district located between McCreary and Alonsa, MB. As was custom at the time, Tony left a one roomed school and worked with his father on the homestead quarter section using oxen. Eventually horses were purchased and finally a Case tractor during the Second World War. The family, with brothers and sisters, moved to a nearby farm with better land. This for years was known to us as Baba's place. With conscription in the Second World War, Uncle Tony joined the Canadian Army and served on the west coast, training for a suspected invasion. A medical disability which continued to plague him for the rest of his life resulted in his discharge prior to the end of the war. A short return to farming with his parents led to other opportunities. Tony moved to Winnipeg in 1950 and found employment in service. He started to drive for Simkin's Fuel, and as the firm expanded, drove gravel trucks as Riding Mountain National Park expanded. Simkin's continued in construction and Tony followed, operating equipment, building bridges and the Trans Canada Highway as far east as Vermillion Bay. He continued developing Canada's mid North as Simkin's expanded to BACM. He built roads into the uranium development of mid North Saskatchewan and helped construct the infrastructure and hydro electric dams of the Gillam area. We Canadians continue to benefit from his and others toil. Tony retired at the age of 60 and spent many years helping his sister Katie and his mother in their final years. He paid all expenses for their travels to Ukraine and the west coast and enjoyed the memories and pictures of those trips. In later years he enjoyed fishing locally and at The Pas, as well as gardening. His Master Angler award is a testament to his fishing prowess. He always went back to his Ukrainian heritage from Europe when he continued to pick mushrooms (hoobe) and berries in "the bush". We still laugh about the story of the liquid "pidpanki". Left to mourn his loss are brothers, Mike and Steve; sisters, Eva and Mary; numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents John and Irene; brother Nick; sisters, Katherine, Katie and Anne and by his highly thought of brother-in-law Bart Kobar. Prayers will be held at the Dobchuk-Anderson Funeral Home in McCreary on Monday, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. Funeral mass will be held at St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Glenhope on Tuesday, December 7 at 10:30 a.m. Interment to follow in Glenhope Cemetery. The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff at Mountainview Home in McCreary and the McCreary/Alonsa Regional Health Centre with a special thank you to Michelle Roncin who provided Tony with extra care and attention. Dobchuk-Anderson Funeral Home of McCreary was entrusted with funeral arrangements. Telephone (204) 835-2004.
