I spend many Saturday nights at the Harasymchuk house as a child and many wonderful memories including summers spent in the back seat of the car traveling to many campgrounds in Manitoba. Thank you for always making us do the dishes Uncle Mitch. Thoughts and prayers are with you Auntie M, Michelle and Marty. - Posted by: Cheryl and Jonah Ewen (Neice and her son) on: Aug 31, 2017

Metro and I grew up and attended school together in Sandy Lake, MB. He was a bit of a prankster, as I remember in those youthful days. In later more recent years I often ran into him and Marlyn at bingo at Club Regent Casino. Rest in Peace friend. - Posted by: Vicki Lazaruk (school class mate) on: Aug 31, 2017
