Orest will be lovingly remembered by his loving and devoted wife Audrey, of 32 years. Also left to cherish his memory are his mother, Anne Sokoliuk, mother and father-in-law, Nick and Nettie Boychuk, brothers Ben, George (Carol), Emil (Jackie), foster brother Lawrence Dorie (Cathy), brothers-in-law Wayne Boychuk (Lynn), Ed Persowich, sisters-in-law Connie Boychuk, Bonnie Gushuliak (Wesley) and Sonia Kraynyk (Brian), numerous nieces and nephews, as well as many other family and friends. Orest was predeceased by his father, John Sokoliuk, brother Paul and sisters-in-law, Wendy Persowich, Mary Sokoliuk and Clover Sokoliuk. Orest was born on October 2, 1953. He attended school in Sundown and Vita and later met the love of his life, Audrey. They were married on May 30, 1981 and made their home together in Winnipeg. Orest had numerous positions with different employers with his latest tenure as Technical Assistant with City of Winnipeg Forestry Department. Orest's vast knowledge of Dutch Elm Disease contributed to his strengths in training summer students and fellow co-workers. A few of Orest's passions were fishing, playing cards, especially crib or five hundred, being a sports enthusiast, with the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets, teaching his nieces and nephews the sport of ice fishing, hunting, and he loved keeping in touch with all his friends, near and far. Orest will be sadly missed but an angel has risen and will look after all of us, smiling down from the heavens and encouraging us through difficult times, especially Audrey. Prayer services will be held on Friday, July 19 at 7:00 p.m., at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 150 Penfeld Drive, Steinbach, MB.

I have many instances to remind of Orest and his kind soul. We shared a lot of laughs together when times were difficult and this will be his legacy to me. I will miss him and our telephone and breakfast meetings but I will never forget the dignity and need for generosity that he taught me. Sleep well and rest my Brother! Audrey times may be tough now but it was the simple things in life that Orest appreciated he always said to me time heals all. - Posted by: Brian Barron (Friend) on: Jul 22, 2013

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Orest and I send my deepest condolences to his wife and family. To me, Orest was more than a friend and a co-worker, he was a teacher. He taught me everything I needed to know to be great at my job. Spending the whole summer working and getting to know Orest was a great honour. He was a kind hearted man who will truly be missed. - Posted by: Tatiana (Friend and Co-worker ) on: Jul 18, 2013
