BILL ANDRIESHYN
Date of Passing: Dec 31, 2017
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBILL ANDRIESHYN It is with sadness that Bill has passed from our lives on December 31, 2017 but he has left us so many happy and cherished memories. Bill was well known in Arborg and Fisher Branch. For over 40 years, Bill was a proud and dedicated worker at Riverdale Workshop and for the Town of Arborg and rarely took a sick day. He was an active Special Olympian participating in numerous bowling tournaments. A life well lived. Bill enjoyed his sister's and late mother's home cooked meals, as well as dining at A&W in Selkirk and Chicken Chef in Arborg, cruising around town and spinning tires with his brother-in-law, Henry. Bill thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ukrainian music, as shown by his extensive collection of Ukrainian tapes and CDs. Bill loved to dance, especially a hot polka. Bill was predeceased by his parents, Mike and Pauline (nee Genyk) and brother-in-law Orville Michaleski. He is survived by his sisters, Pat Michaleski and Iris (Henry) Kolada and brother Michael (Fran), along with numerous nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews, especially William Kolada (his name sake). Bill could touch people with his smile, his gentleness, his charming disposition and his off the cuff "one liners." Despite recent medical challenges, Bill will always be remembered and cherished for his jovial and loving ways. He was a kind and considerate soul. Our family would like to acknowledge the devotion and compassion bestowed upon Bill by the staff of Betel Home in Selkirk, Riverdale Home and Workshop in Arborg. A private family service will be held at a later date. "Bill, you will be missed. Your memories will always be alive and vivid to all whom you touched." Condolences may be left at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.

My condolences to the family. Billy was a special human being. Always kind and fun to be around. So many good memories. He was there for my first bus ride (came up to me and said “who are you” with a big smile also at my first job (garbage truck in Arborg and always the first one to work on garbage days) and one of my first fall suppers in Vidir where we all danced in a circle. He always remembered me and I looked forward to talk with him however so briefly when I came back to Arborg and seen him out and about. Thank you Billy for teaching me in your own unique way to be a better person. - Posted by: Kristinn Finnson (Friend) on: Jan 06, 2018
