Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryALEXANDER OMER GLOWACHUK April 14, 1940 - November 7, 2018 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved father. Alex was predeceased by his wife Gail just 10 months ago. We know you are at peace now father, and have joined our dear mother in heaven. Alex was born in Komarno, MB, after his family immigrated from the Ukraine. He is survived by his daughters, Cindy (Marinos) of Vancouver, and Elizabeth (Chris) of Teulon. Grandchildren, Emilia, Joshua, and Alexi. His sister Joyce of New York, and niece Beth (Keith) of Arkansas. Predeceased by his sister Margaret. Our father also had many dear friends that he loved to visit. He would jump in his truck and stop in at their fields or barns unannounced. We would like to thank these many friends for enriching his life so greatly. Alex worked at Radio Oil, where he met Gail the love of his life. He continued on to drive for Reimer Truck Lines and travelled to many places, but his heart was with his community and homestead. He served as a councillor for the Rockwood Municipality for 12 years. The family would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. Zahiri, the nurses and staff at the Stonewall Hospital. A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Teulon on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, we would ask that donations be made to a charity of your choice. May you rest in peace father. Ken Loehmer Funeral Services 204-886-0404

Alex knew plenty about my family history in the Interlake. I was fortunate to have met him late in life. He filled in gaps of my father's family, my mother's family. He knew my sister, Susan. We shared a few jokes about electric cars and current Manitoba Hydro rates. Hard worker. God speed Alex. - Posted by: Penny l. Horeczy (friend) on: Dec 06, 2018

I didn’t meet my uncle Alex until I was thirty years old. My husband’s family knew so much of their history and Keith encouraged me to meet mine when we traveled to Manitoba in 1987 with our son, Kevin, aged five. Kevin got meet his “Great!” Grandmother Olga and all of us got to know the Canadian side of my mother’s family. Alex was intimidating at first. He was big and gruff and had to be observed before I saw the fun side of his personality. I watched him sample the contents of his mother’s stovetop and refrigerator the first day we met him, and then he asked us if we wanted to take a ride and see the homestead. He and Gayle made us feel so important when we visited again with my mom, Alex’s oldest sister, Margaret. I was privileged to help in small ways when Alex’s mother, Olga passed away. I remember Alex making arrangements for church services, rosaries, and luncheons, faithfully executing his duties to honor Olga’s memory. After everything was concluded, Alex and I drove away with a six-pack and talked and drove until it was gone. It was the best beer I’ve ever had. I’ll miss you Uncle Alex and thank you for making my family feel like your family. - Posted by: Beth and Keith Grimwood (Niece and husband) on: Nov 13, 2018
