VICTOR DOLA
Victor was born January 10, 1933 at the home place in Pleasant Home, MB. He was the youngest of 10 children of John and Mary Dola (Tyluk). He was predeceased by his parents and nine siblings. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Elsie (Pawluk); sons, Randy (Eileen), Robbie (Patti); grandsons, Michael (Nicole), Sean (Michelle), Dustin, Devin (Jillian); great-granddaughters Hannah and Claire; and great-grandson Everett.
Dad grew up in Pleasant Home and attended Prout School until grade 6. He worked on the family farm until he took a job with John Watsko who taught him to operate heavy equipment. He then worked for Red River Builders and helped build the floodway and Highway 75 to the U.S. border and constructed many roads in the Interlake.
After marrying Elsie in 1953, he took over the family farm. They worked hard and grew the farm with their two sons. He enjoyed and spent many hours fixing, inventing and building things. He loved being outdoors and spent many hours cutting wood to be used for his wood stove. He loved hunting, snowmobiling, curling and tractor pulling. He obtained his private pilot's license and enjoyed flying up to the cabin on the Bloodvein River.
Dad and Mom enjoyed camping, taking many trips in their motorhome to Texas, Las Vegas and California and going to every country music festival in the area.
He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He lived a life full of love and laughter and left his family with memories they will cherish forever.
The family would like to thank the staff at House of Hope and the doctors and staff at Arborg Hospital for all their kind and compassionate care.
Funeral service will be held in the Teulon – Rockwood Centennial Hall, Monday, November 25, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. Interment to follow at Holy Rosary Cemetery, Winnipeg Beach.
Pallbearers will be sons, Randy, Robbie; grandsons, Michael, Sean, Dustin and Devin. Honorary pallbearers are Alvin Prysizney, Roger Bouvier and all his nephews and nieces.

I have great memories of numerous years of dropping in on the farm to ask Victor permission to hunt ducks & geese. Victor always greeted me with a smile & handshake and after the hunt he was always interested in hearing our recount of the hunt. He was a very nice man and I know he will be sorely missed especially by his immediate family and close friends as well as by many many people with whom he may only have had brief encounters with throughout his lifetime. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, close friends and all whose life was some how touched by his presence. Laurie Russin - Posted by: Laurence Russin (Acquaintance ) on: Nov 24, 2019

A person that always had a sense of humor and enjoyed a good laugh. Doug always enjoyed fixing their tv or resetting the remote, etc and always came home well fed and watered with many interesting stories of how he started out in a one room house and worked hard to build a very successful life for his family being a living example what brains and hard work can accomplish. He has left a dynasty and all will miss him and his sense of humor-- the coin buried in the driveway. No wonder he and Doug got along so well Their home was always a great place to visit where you felt welcome. - Posted by: Noreeen Stone (friend) on: Nov 23, 2019

Sincere condolences to Elsie, Randy Robbie and your families. Victor was truly one of the good ones. Always something witty to say whenever we saw him. Some of our fondest memories came from the early Tractor pulling days and also being among the pioneers of Countryfest. Along with Clarence and Sophie we had a real hoot. Victor will be truly missed but is in a better place now. Bert and Kathy - Posted by: Bert and Kathy Campbell (Friends) on: Nov 23, 2019
