RONALD ERNEST TARKO It is with great sorrow that the family announces the accidental passing of our brother and uncle, Ron Tarko on July 13, 2001 in Edmonton, AB. Ron was predeceased by his mother, Helene Tarko; and by his sister and brother-in-law, Rosan and Danny Francey. He leaves to mourn his passing, his brothers, Larry (Lorraine) Tarko of Haywood, MB, Michel Tarko of Vancouver, BC; sisters, Teresa (Art) Kashak of Yorkton, SK, and Donna (Don) Jackson of Winnipeg; niece Kimberly Francey; nephews, Ryan Francey and Joey and Derek Tarko; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Ron was born on July 14, 1956 in Carman, MB and was raised in Haywood, MB. In the late 70s, he moved to Alberta where he made his home. Rugby, downhill skiing, and his occupation as a millwright took him to all parts of Alberta. In the early 90s, he met his wife, Betty Menard, with whom he shared his passion for Harley Davidsons. All those who had the privilege of knowing Ron knew of his easy going personality and his satirical sense of humour which touched many lives. His love for family and friends was unconditional. We, his family, believe he celebrated his 45th birthday with his mom and his sister in the eternal spiritual life. Funeral services will be held at the St. Denis Roman Catholic church in Haywood, MB on Saturday, July 21 at 10:00 a.m. Fr. Armand Legal will celebrate the funeral mass. Interment will take place in the Haywood Parish Cemetery. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations may be made in memory of Ron to a charity of ones choice.
