BERNARD (BUNNY) WALUS It is with deep sadness, we announce the passing of our dearly beloved Husband, Father, Father-in-Law, Grandfather and Uncle "Bunny" to the rest of his family and friends. Bunny passed away at Holy Family Personal Care Home on March 5, 2016, at the age of 86, after a full and happy life of family and friends. Bunny was predeceased by his son Lawrence (Laurie); parents, Casimir and Josephine; sister Nellie and husband Stanley Bernas, sister Adeline and husband Michael Sobie. Bunny is survived by his wife Jean, of 65 years; son Ken and wife Laurie; grandchildren, Ashley and Colin; son Tom and daughter-in-law Patricia Walus, of New Brunswick. Bunny was born and raised in Winnipeg and worked as a machinist at the C.P.R. Weston Shops until his retirement in 1986, after 42 years of service. He was a loving, caring and devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend, and he will be deeply missed and forever loved. A lucky few of us were able to call him a husband, father and grandfather, who gave us unfailing support and all of his love in so many ways. To many others he was Uncle Bunny, or just Bunny. All of our memories of him are fond. He left us with much for which we are grateful. We are all better people for having known him. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Father Dominic Yuen on Thursday, March 10 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church, 250 Burrin Avenue, with cremation to follow. A family burial will take place at a later date. Pallbearers will be Julian Bernas, Andrew Ploszay, Richard Sobie, Colin Walus, Ken Walus and Tom Walus. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations, if so desired, can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, CancerCare Manitoba, Feed the Hungry or a charity of your choice in Dad's memory. To know him was to love him. "I am the Resurrection and the Life; whoever believes in Me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die." John 11: 25-26 Cropo Funeral Chapel, 204-586-8044

Dear Jean & Family- it is with heartfelt sadness that we learned of the passing of dear Bunny. We have fond memories of a gentle man with a twinkle in his eye, his great sense of humour and always a kind word for everyone. We are in Arizona and regretfully unable to be there on Thursday.
