ROZALY FRED (ROSS) PROKOPCHUK After a brief illness it is with deep regret we announce the passing of Rozaly Fred Prokopchuk at the age of 79 years, on May 6, 2015 with his family by his side. He is survived by his two daughters and their families. Gale Lemon and granddaughter Cassandra. Sandra Waddell and her husband Brian and grandchildren Neil and Kelly. Dad also leaves behind his brother Eugene and his wife Donna and their two children April and her daughter Charlize and Jennifer. Ross served time in the Canadian Air Force which gave him the opportunity to serve his country and allowed him to see many parts of the world. His working career included being a furrier in a Fur Factory as well as an electrician with the Canadian National Railway from where he retired. He spent his retirement years with family and friends. Nothing mattered more to Dad than his family and friends and not a day would pass without him asking about his grandchildren, who were truly his pride and joy. He often would say "I always have time for you ". Dad had many interests which included stained glass art, coin collecting, but his lifelong passion was gardening. "Dad we love you and you will be missed" A private family service will be held in St. Vital Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the Children's Wish Foundation, 350 St. Mary's Road, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 3J2. We would like to extend our thanks to the staff of Morden Hospital and Health Sciences Center ICU. Doyle's Funeral Home in care of arrangements. www.doylesfuneralchapel.com
