Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryVICTOR HOCHKEVICH September 20, 1932 August 22, 2018 It is with heavy hearts that we announce that on August 22, 2018, after a courageous battle with cancer, and a brief stay at St. Boniface Hospital, Victor Hochkevich left us peacefully, at the age of 85 years. Predeceased by his wife Nellie (Sumka), of 61 years. He is survived by his daughter Debra (Greg); son Roger; grandchildren, Megan (Alvin) and Justin; and good friend and companion, Wanda. He was born September 20, 1932 at his family farm in Rossdale, Manitoba, the youngest son of John and Maria (Payjack), and the last sibling of seven children. Victor was no stranger to hard work, and with his wife Nellie, built a successful bedding plant business. He loved sports, especially hockey, and played on numerous hockey teams including the Manitoba Tobans, St. Jean and St. Andrews. Victor looked forward to every occasion that brought his family together. "Gig", as his family called him, always brought us his laughter with his memorable jokes. He enjoyed going for coffee at St. Vital Mall and Kildonan Place, and frequently visited Club Regent. Victor always cared for his family first, leaving a legacy of love and strength. Cremation has taken place, and a celebration of Victor's life will take place at 11:00 a.m., Friday, September 7 at Northwood Community Centre, 1415 Burrows Ave. KORBAN FUNERAL CHAPEL 204-956-2193 www.korbanchapel.com

I only had the chance to visit Uncle Victor and the Winnipeg family once as a younger boy, but I remember lots of laughter, kindness and kinship. Rest in peace and best wishes to all of the family. - Posted by: Daniel MacDonald (Grand Nephew) on: Sep 05, 2018

Sending my deepest sympathies to my family and to friends on the loss of Uncle Vic. Carter, Quinn and I regret we are unable to attend the memorial on Friday. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. I was so lucky to be blessed with many good memories and lasting experiences of the time I spent with Uncle Vic and Aunt Nellie and my cousins in Winnipeg. Summers learning how to drive a motor bike, learning about the green houses and the planting business. Many good times spent around the kitchen table listening to stories, playing cards and always laughing heartily and with much love. May he Rest In Peace. God bless. Love Leigh, Carter and Quinn xo - Posted by: Leigh Harris (Grand Niece) on: Sep 03, 2018

So many great memories of visits to Winnipeg and all of Uncle Vic's jokes and kidding. Loved his family so much and was proud of his children and grandchildren. Always worked so hard and had a good time with customers and friends. He will be missed. - Posted by: Helen Harris (Neice) on: Sep 01, 2018
