Michael Kustra
MICHAEL KUSTRA It is with the family's deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Michael Kustra. After a very lengthy illness, Michael gave up his battle at the Health Sciences Centre on Sunday, January 21, 2001. Michael was born
on December 29, 1918, the only son of Paul and Julia Kustra who at the time were new arrivals from the Ukraine. The family resided on Alfred Ave., later relocating to a farm southwest of St. Claude, Man. shortly before the depression. Michael is survived by his wife Helen of 53 years of marriage; sons, Wayne, Guy (fiancee Bonnie Lynn) and Curtis (wife Kathy); daughters, Allyn and Cheryl; grandchildren, Carlene (Dave), Amanda, Melissa, Aynsley, Tara, Matthew, Tanya (Bill), Cassandra, Shane; great-grandchildren, Syd and Sean. Michael was held in the highest respect by his employers, family, friends and neighbours for his honest, hardworking ability, stamina, big heart, his unique sense of humour and his love for his wife and children. Michael was a man of substance and reality and common sense - he was not a dreamer. He knew what had to be accomplished and always found a way to accomplish it. From a young boy of Ukrainian Heritage from the north end of Winnipeg he went on to become a farmer, served his duty in the Second World War with the Winnipeg Rifles, married his wife Helen in 1948 and worked as a mechanic, Bartender, Carpenter, C.P. Railway and put several years of service in with the City of Winnipeg Parks Board, most of which were spent at Brookside Cemetery, finally retiring with the City of Winnipeg Swimming Pool Division. Even though your big old house will feel somewhat empty without your physical presence, your family will always cherish those special moments and occasions and keep the guidance, love and respect you gave us in our hearts forever. In keeping with Michael's wishes, cremation will precede a memorial service at Neil Bardal Inc., 984 Portage Avenue, Aubrey Street entrance on Wednesday, January 24 at 10:30 a.m. An interment of ashes to be announced at a later date will take place at Brookside Cemetery.

Valdina Labossiere
VALDINA JOHANNA LABOSSIERE October 10, 1933 - January 19, 2001 Val Labossiere of Kenora, Ont. passed away suddenly in her home on January 19, 2001. Born in Reykjavik, Man. on October 10, 1933 she was 67. She was predeceased by her husband Guy; parents, Ollie and Thorbjorg Olafson and brother Ragnar Olafson. Left to cherish her memory are her six sons and their families, Bruce (Linda, Mitchell and Chelsey), Brian (Mary, Bart, Randy, Eddie and Luc), Gary (Fiona, Garth and Jennifer), David, Brent (Gina and Jake) all of Calgary, Alta., and Jerry (Barbara, Gregory and Amy) of Medicine Hat, Alta. She is also survived by her brothers, Gudjon (Rita) Olafson, Kari (Vala) Olafson and her sister-in-law Freda Olafson, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was fortunate to have good friends nearby. Over the many years their friendship, support and love were very important to her. Friends and family enjoyed the many culinary delights that she prepared, particularly her dill pickles and Icelandic Rulapilsa. All visitors felt welcome in her home. She always had a smile on her face. The strength of our Mom's love and conviction of her beliefs were what defined her. She devoted her life to raising "her boys" and loved to have them near her. "Grandma" dearly loved her grandchildren - they were the joy of her life. We were all fortunate to have had her in our lives for the time that we did. She has left a void that cannot be filled, yet she has given us something that cannot be taken away. We will miss her dearly. Funeral service on Wednesday, 1:00 p.m., January 24 at Notre Dame Catholic Church, Kenora, Monsignor Roger Bazin presiding.
