He was recently predeceased by eldest son Peter. Oleksa was born March 17, 1927, in Knajzoluka Ukraine. He first met his wife, Tekla, after the war, in a work camp in Germany. Both relocated to England, where they were reunited, married in 1948 and started their family. They immigrated to Canada and settled in Winnipeg in 1955. He found employment with CNR and retiring in 1986. He was always proud that he was strong and could provide well for his family. Oleksa was always busy. He enjoyed tinkering, construction and was always willing to help anyone with their projects. He enjoyed the simple things in life like wandering in the bush looking for blueberries and mushrooms. He loved his family and we all love him. The family would like to thank the Palliative Care Team and Dr. Lacerte in Oakbank for their help in fulfilling Dad's wishes to pass away at home. Divine Liturgy will be celebrated 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, January 29 at Sts. Vladimir and Olga Cathedral, 115 McGregor St., with Rt. Rev. Msgr. Mitrat M. Buyachok officiating.

  • I worked with Alex during the summer of 1974. I was a summer student and Alex, our foreman gave our crew a memorable experience. A leader who treated his workers fairly, kept an eye out for our safety and developed my strong work ethic. I enjoyed this job immensely and thought of Alex often throughout my career. - Posted by: Mike Weretyk (Past co-worker, ( summer- 1974)) on: Jul 09, 2013
