LEON (LEO) MARTIN KUPCHIK Peacefully, at the Selkirk Betel Home, Leon (Leo) Kupchik passed away at the age of 77. He leaves his wife of 57 years, Verna; son Darrell; daughter Trina (Alan); grandchildren Sam, Sara and Jordan. He also leaves to mourn his brothers Lawrence and Darwin; sister Evelyn, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Mary Kupchik; son Sheldon, and daughter-in-law Leanne. He was born in Selkirk and employed at Manitoba Rolling Mills (Gerdau) for 38 years. He was very proud of his safe work record and his co-workers valued his skill as an overhead crane operator. He in turn valued time spent with them. He was an avid hunter and fisherman in his younger years and cherished spending time outdoors. Once retired his meticulous nature and great work ethic allowed him the ability to put the finishing touches on his dream home, landscape and maintain his yard, and totally restore his 1929 Model A Ford. There was always a project in the works that received his full attention. Special thanks to Dr. Demsas; the nursing staff at the Selkirk Regional Hospital and the specialists and nursing staff at St. Boniface Hospital. Cremation has taken place. As requested no service will take place and there will be a private family interment at a later date. Forever remembered Forever loved Condolences, pictures and videos may be left on Leon's tribute wall at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
