CELEDONIO MARTIN
CELEDONIO "CELE" MARTIN Peacefully, and on his own terms, selfless husband, heroic father, and inspiring friend, Cele decided to end his lengthy and courageous battle with cancer on Tuesday, September 7, 2004. Always a brave adventurer, Cele emigrated from Spain in 1968 without a job and very little in his pocket. 36 years later, he's left our country and our world a better place than he found it. Cele had an uncanny knack for positively affecting all those who were fortunate enough to be in his company. He gave new meaning to the expression "give more than you take." Cele was an outdoors enthusiast who loved a lengthy road trip. Punctuated by his eventual pilgrimage to Sturgis for the annual motorcycle rally. He took great pleasure from a hike in the mountains, a swim in the lake, or a soccer ball being booted through the goalposts by himself or one of the many kids he coached. An accomplished mechanic with CP Rail, Cele was someone who succeeded at any task put before him. Aside from specializing under the hood, he was an architect, welder, engineer, plumber, electrician, carpenter, landscaper, you name it. There was no project that was too difficult for him to complete...with perfection. Onlookers were always amazed that the work never stopped, until the job was done. Cele's drive and determination were vividly evidenced on one of his last days, when he summoned a beer from his hospital bed. Upon arrival of the cold suds, he ripped it from the hands of his son, cracked it open, chugged it without hesitation, and demanded "another"! His biggest achievements are not hanging in frames on the walls of his house, instead displayed by the people who live there. Cele was always more concerned with being a husband and a father than he was with any other accolades. He will be always cherished, and dearly missed by Marisa, his loving wife of 33 years; his two adoring children, Jessica and Danny; as well as a multitude of friends and family who span many continents and numerous countries. Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated on Saturday, September 11 at 10:00 a.m. in St. Joseph The Worker Roman Catholic Church, 505 Brewster St. with Rev. Fr. Richard Machura presiding. Our family would like to extend a special thank you to the members of the oncology department at the Victoria General Hospital, as well as the staff on the fourth floor at the Health Sciences Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations in Cele's memory may be made to the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, 675 McDermot Ave., Room 1160, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.

JOAN BUICK
JOAN ANN BUICK (nee CIRKA) 1926 - 2004 Peacefully on September 10, 2004, our courageous and precious mom slipped away to join her beloved husband Tommy, in heaven. Mom was born
in Horodnycha, Husiatyn, Poland and immigrated to Canada with her parents, Michael and Mary Cirka, in 1927. She was predeceased by her husband Tommy; and her father and mother, Michael and Mary Cirka; and stepfather Nichola Kyryliw. She attended school in the Carlorie, MB area and was a very bright student. Due to the tragic accident that took Mom's dad when she was 13, mom had to quit school at 14 and move to Winnipeg with her mother to earn a living. Mom always regretted not finishing high school and at 52 years of age went to Red River College and completed a business course and received her high school diploma. We were all so proud of her accomplishment. Mom's career spanned 45 years as a skilled fur operator. Mom's reputation was well known throughout Winnipeg with furriers as she excelled in delicate sewing. She made her own mink coat as one of her last projects before retiring in 1987. Mom loved her family unconditionally and leaves to mourn her passing, daughters, Beverlee (Carl), Gayle (Greg); son Rodney; grandsons, Scotty, Joshua, Jordan, Quin; and granddaughter Ainslee. Mom also leaves behind two great-granddaughters, Shey and Ashtyn. We would be remiss if we didn't mention that our mom was a fabulous cook. She could turn anything into a banquet. We will never forget Mom the many holy Christmas Eve and Easter dinners you lovingly prepared for us. Your paskas were as light as air and your gravies have never been duplicated. Mom, what will we do without you? You were such an inspiration to us as we saw your illness strip you of your speech, hearing and strength. You always remained elegant and dignified. Everyone who knew our mom commented on her beautiful disposition, crystal blue eyes and warm smile. We will so miss your strong presence Mom, and you will never be forgotten. Cremation has taken place and at Mom's request, a private graveside service for immediate family will be held at a later date.
