Vic was predeceased by his loving wife, Marna, in 1998 after 55 years of marriage. He was very proud of his 10 wonderful grandchildren who will remember him fondly, Shannon, Merilee, Karen, Tom, Lara, Claire, Phil, Martha, Keith and Connie. Great-granddaughter, Hannah Sue, thrilled him in recent times. Vic's family included four siblings. Born in Winnipeg, he was predeceased by his parents, John and Zita; his dear sister, Alice; and his two brothers, Albert and Wilfrid. His loving sister, Rita, resides in Campbell River, B.C. In Winnipeg, Vic enjoyed the company of his nieces and nephews, Marilyn, Leanne and Leonard, and was very fortunate during his illness to be blessed with continuous loving attention from his niece Eileen (Fred) and nephew Richard. It was thanks to their devotion that Vic's children were happy with his decision to remain in his hometown. Vic's brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and their families, his Wildwood Park friends and special family friend, Ali Vince, will feel the absence of his unique qualities. A 1942 graduate of the University of Manitoba (Bachelor of Commerce), Vic joined the R.C.A.F. as a navigation instructor in Rivers, MB, until the end of the war, whereupon he attended the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) for a Masters Degree in Arts. He then took up a position at the Great West Life where he spent his entire 35 year career in various capacities. In addition to being a devoted husband and proud father, Vic's other interests included keeping in touch with his far-flung family, the outdoors and mind challenges. His energies were occupied by visiting his children, gardening, cross-country skiing, cycling, curling, hiking, camping, swimming. Vic enjoyed attending concerts by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Manitoba Theatre Centre, listening to his CDs, playing bridge, reading and completing the daily word puzzles from the newspaper. Vic was an enthusiastic resident of Wildwood Park for 57 years until March, 2003. He and Marna participated in many volunteer activities in their neighborhood. Vic was a volunteer driver for 10 years with Meals on Wheels and assisted with preparation for the annual Children's Hospital Book Market. He was also a generous contributor to numerous charities. Vic's family wishes to thank the wonderful staff of the First Floor of the Kildonan Personal Care Home where he was a resident for 14 months. Their support and caring for Vic, and their accessibility to family, were greatly appreciated. A memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, December 10 at Fort Garry United Church at 800 Point Rd., with the Rev. Dr. Gordon Taylor officiating. In lieu of flowers, those who wish to donate in Vic's memory may consider the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba, 120 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 4G2, UNICEF, 535 Academy Rd., Winnipeg, MB R3N 0E2 or Fort Garry United Church, 800 Point Rd., Winnipeg, MB R3T 3L9.

KENNETH WICK
KENNETH WILLIAM WICK In his 86th year, Dad died very peacefully with his daughter at his bedside on Thursday, December 2, 2004 at Jocelyn House. Ken is survived by his brother Robert of Winnipeg and sister Helen (Bernard Jiggins) of California; daughter Margaret (Yvan Bineau); and grandchildren, Amber and Ryan. He was predeceased by his wife, Nettie, of nearly 60 years, who passed away in April 2000. Ken was the oldest of six children. The Wick children spent most of their youth growing up on Brooklyn Street in St. James - a community where Ken and Nettie bought their first and only home. Ken took great pride in his "green thumb". Ken planted and maintained a small vegetable garden and beautiful floral beds around his house right up until he moved into Jocelyn House this past September. Although he was a private person, Ken was blessed with the company and security provided by several long-standing neighbours to whom he and his family were very grateful. Ken enlisted in the Ordinance Core during the war, and later worked for Air Canada as a supervisor in the purchasing department in Winnipeg. He was transferred to Montreal, but retired in Winnipeg in 1973, returning to their original home. Dad will be remembered fondly. Humour and wit were just two of Ken's endearing qualities, qualities that made for widened eyes and bursts of laughter at family gatherings and outings. A Service of Remembrance will be held on Saturday, December 11 at 11:00 a.m. at Silver Heights United Church, 199 Garrioch Ave. Our family is so thankful, Dad was able to be in the care of Jocelyn House. It is a wonderful place providing comfort to families and loved ones. If friends desire, donations may be made to Jocelyn House, 177 Egerton Rd., Winnipeg, R2M 2W7.
