Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryHARRY KRUK May 8, 1928 November 23, 2017 After a brief illness, Harry passed away at Seven Oaks General Hospital, on November 23, 2017, with his loving family at his side. He leaves to mourn his wife, Elsie, of 65 years; daughters, Linda (Paul) Bailes and Joanne (Paul) Barré; grandchildren, Joanna, Matthew, Jonathan, Hannah and Stefan. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Harry was the son of Sawa and Anna Kruk, and the youngest and only surviving sibling to John, Bill, Sam, Peter and Tilley. He attended St. Nicholas School and St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church, where the family was involved in the building and maintenance of the church. Harry was in part, a North End icon, as proprietor of the BA/ Gulf Service Station at Magnus & McGregor and Kruk's Auto on Arlington. In later years, he took pride in driving taxis and limos, and working for Handi-Transit, transporting clients from St. Amant, and then he became a user of Handi-Transit himself, attending Day Program at Holy Family Home for 14 years. Harry was a devout man to his faith and until his passing, he enjoyed singing Ukrainian responses to Mass at Holy Family, where he resided over the past year. The family is grateful to the WRHA Home Care staff who cared for Harry over many years, to Dr. Nadine Lecuyer, who he respected dearly, and to the dedicated staff at Holy Family Home. Harry's passions in life were simple: his love of God, family, friends, food, cars and all dogs. He will be remembered for his repeated jokes and storytelling. Divine Liturgy will be held at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church, 737 Bannerman Ave. on Tuesday, November 28 at 11:00 a.m. A private interment will follow. If so desired, donations can be made in memory of Harry to Holy Family Home, Alzheimer Society of Manitoba or Manitoba Mutts Dog Rescue. Vichnaya Pam'yat, Memory Eternal, Harry, Dad, Gigi.

Always there to help everyone, and could fix anything a master to be sure. Harry treated you with a smile and remembered you and asked "how are you". At Holy Family you'd always see Harry with his loving wife and daughter. Surrounded with Love he would say "I'm truly Blessed" Bless you Harry and your loving family. - Posted by: Stephen Sumka (Friend) on: Nov 25, 2017
