SLOMIANY: (nee Biczak) Helen Frances June 17, 1934- April 28, 2013. We said good-bye to our dear wife, mother, nana, aunt and friend on May 2, 2013, with a service at Memories Chapel, officiated by Very Rev. Fr. Jerzy Urbanski of St. Joseph’s Polish National Catholic Church. Lector Lloyd Dyck assisted. Helen’s favourite hymns were played, and the service ended with the ‘Helen Polka’ at the request of her dear husband Joe. Helen passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully, on April 28, 2013. She probably would say, in her charming, yet somewhat cheeky way, that “she’d had the biscuit”. We can still hear her laughing at her own funny sayings, the antics of her cherished grandchildren, or when teasing her dear husband Joe. Helen always looked on the bright side of things and was a source of encouragement to her family and friends. She and Joe would have been married for 57 years on June 9 of this year. They were true soul mates connected by the same values, culture and commitment to social justice. Always a fun couple, they enjoyed dancing, bowling, get-togethers, gardening, and travelling with their children. They were devoted to each other. Joe was her protector and she leaned on him; he in turn gained strength from her. They were such a comfort to one another. Besides her beloved husband Joe, Helen is survived by her loving and grateful children, Wanda (Michaelangello), Wally (Jenny); her cherished grandchildren Benjamin, Jeremy and Claire; her special nieces and nephews and their growing families of whom she was so proud, and many good friends, old and new. Helen was predeceased by her precious infant son Leonard (Lenny). Dear family members who also predeceased her were: parents Leonard and Mary (Koziol) Biczak; parents-in-law Walter and Anelia Slomiany; sisters Jean Faires and Mary Kozlowski and in-laws Ludwik Kozlowski, Stan and Sophie Wasowicz. Always important to Helen were her family and friends; her church; her Polish heritage and community; and her commitment to social justice. So proud of her Polish heritage, and a talented keeper of tradition, Helen first spoke Polish, only learning English when she went to school. She maintained her fluency in her first language and kept family ties strong by staying in contact with relatives in Poland. She danced for many years as a teenager and young woman with her friends in her church’s cultural dance group. Helen was honored by her last employer, McKenzie’s, receiving the President’s Award, and by the NDP for her work, along with Joe, as recipients of the Pioneer and Lucille Ono awards. Her family is very proud of her. Helen treated everyone so well –always smiling, with a kind word to strangers and friends. Modest, dignified and careful with everyone’s feelings, Helen never wanted to offend; she was always ready to help out in any way she could. She always seemed to know just the right thing to do and say. Helen was born on Burrows Avenue in Winnipeg’s storied north end – a reunion baby for her parents – her dad had come to Canada to seek a better life. The family moved to the Kirkfield area of Winnipeg - where she grew up with a love of nature and gardening. Helen loved all animals, especially her cairn terriers Skitter and now Koko. She attended high school at Isaac Newton; her years in Winnipeg brought her friendships with some lovely people with whom she kept in touch until the end. Helen was a spiritual woman with a strongly held faith; she was a lifelong member of the Polish National Catholic Church, first at St. Mary’s in Winnipeg, and then at St. Joseph’s in Brandon. Her faith was important to her, and it sustained her. Helen loved music and she sang for many years in the choirs of both St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s. Like many women of her generation, Helen worked hard, yet never complained. She began work after high school in Winnipeg at McDonald Brother’s, in the office, and then at Standard Dairies until her marriage. In Brandon, she was with Modern Dairies for many happy years, and made many friends. She left work to be at home with her children, until 1977 at McKenzie Seeds, from where she retired in 1994. Helen as a mom was exceptional. She was patient, kind, fair yet firm. Her family never wanted for anything. Her many special little touches let her children know she always cared. She became more than a mom – she was a confidant and a friend to her children and their spouses. She was blessed to have three beautiful, healthy grandchildren grace her life for these past ten years. Children of all ages were special to Helen- and she showed her love and support to her nieces and nephews, and others…just as if they were her own. Throughout her life, Helen kept young at heart – she was always current with world events, fashion, and entertainment. She had a keen eye for decorating – and her homes always looked lovely. Helen was very well known as a wonderful cook and amazing hostess - you never went hungry at her house. She loved to cook for her family – especially making favourite foods for her grandchildren – or sending them home with a bag of her incomparable homemade pierogies. She enjoyed almost twenty years of a relatively healthy retirement, for which her family is so thankful, and she filled those years with such energy. Helen had a long association with the Sokol; she and Joe were mainstays of the Sokol over all these years. She served in many capacities, and volunteered countless enjoyable hours there. It was no surprise that her organizational skills allowed the Sokol’s 100th Anniversary celebration held on May 4, 2013 to flourish. Helen was committed to social justice – she worked tirelessly through her long involvement with the New Democratic Party, and specifically the Brandon NDP Women’s Association. Long an advocate for equality and fairness, she lived her principles by showing her caring nature and her support of causes that improved people’s lives directly. She and Joe were guided by the words of one of the founders of the CCF…J.S. Woodsworth…who said “what we desire for ourselves, we wish for all.” Helen wished for peace and an ease to the suffering she saw in this world. And now our dear Helen has earned her rest and her ease. “….Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (Matthew 25:21). “Wieczne odpoczywanie racz jej da? Panie.”To my Helen….To our mom… ….we will love you forever and miss you always. Joe and Family.

DECKER: Gerald, November 13, 1927 – April 17, 2013. Gerald William Decker, age 85 passed away at Fairview Home on April 17th, 2013. Gerald was the youngest child of Bert and Myrtle Decker. After leaving school in Grade 10 to help out on the farm, Gerald attended Musker Engineering in Winnipeg where he learnt automotive and aerial motors. He worked a couple of winters at Fred Decker’s garage in Decker, and then went onto Brandon University and took an agricultural course. Gerald was too young for the war at age 16 and at age 19 he developed polio in his left leg. Because of this leg, he could not do the physical work required on the farm in the fall of 1947, so took advantage of this time to marry his sweet heart from age 15, Margaret Kidd, in September. For the 1st two years they lived on the family farm at Decker, and then moved to the Van Norman farm west of Decker for another 3 years. They took over the original Decker homestead in 1955. Dad loved the grain farm, although he did raise cattle and pigs for a short period of time. Gerald was a member of the Odd Fellows and participated in all community events. He was a trustee on the school board for years and also sat on the church board. He loved to curl and he drove the school bus for many years. He was given the gift of a very deep bass voice and became well known for his singing ability singing in the Decker choir for years, and then later in the senior Hamiota choir. He spent many hours learning to play the accordion and then the organ. Playing the organ gave him great comfort in the latter years.Many summers were spent on holiday trips with numerous friends and family and there were regular trips to Kenora, Ontario to visit his brother in law and family. For 19 years they also went to Florida for the winter months. Gerald and Marg moved to Hamiota in 1990 and retired from farming in 1991. For a few years they spent the winters out at the west coast at Sidney on Vancouver Island. Marg passed away in the spring of 2001. They were married for 53 years and had a wonderful life together. Gerald and Marg were blessed with 3 children, Jody, Denny and Cheryl. Cheryl married Gordon Cormack, and Gerald and Marg were thrilled to have 2 grandchildren, Brad and Mardie. They devoted a lot of their time travelling back and forth to Kenton to follow their grandchildren’s activities. In 2003 Gerald started golfing with Shirley Dale. Their strong friendship lasted for 10 years and they enjoyed an active senior life. Due to vascular dementia Gerald was unable to stay in his house and moved to Lilac Residence in June 2010. As his dementia deteriorated he was moved to Fairview Home in November 2012 to be closer to his daughter Cheryl. He continued to enjoy his music and the social interaction until his passing. Gerald is survived by his children, grandchildren, brother -in-law Bill Kidd, sisters-in-law Frances Ruchotzke, and Hilda Decker, numerous nieces and nephews; special friend Shirley Dale and her family. He was predeceased by his parents, wife Margaret, brother Cecil Decker, sister Dell Hillman and husband Mac, sisters-in-law: Zina Kidd, Edna Kidd, and brother-in-law Al Ruchotzke. A service to celebrate Gerald’s life took place in the Hamiota United Church on Wednesday, April 24 with Rev. Glenna Beauchamp officiating and internment followed at the Hamiota Cemetery.

BERGQUIST: Brian Charles "Levi" Bergquist passed away Tuesday, May 7, 2013 after a very brave battle with cancer. His passing was peaceful and he was surrounded by love. He is remembered by his wife Diane; daughter Sara of Whitehorse, Yukon; son Josh (Misty) and granddaughters Lauren and Kate of Mackenzie, BC. Brian is also survived by his siblings: Carol O'Neill of Gimli, Manitoba, Lynn Bell of Langley, BC, Vicki Halme of Duncan, BC, Len Bergquist of Langley, BC and Phyllis Plater (Roy) of New Westminster, BC. Also saddened by the loss of their brother-in-law are Helen Ford (Dale) of Killarney Manitoba, Harvey Bridgeman (Heather) of Brandon, Manitoba, Rena Carnahan of Airdrie, Alberta and their families. His impersonations and zany antics will be missed by all of his friends and relatives. Brian was born in Winnipeg on February 16, 1948. He lived in 14 cities during his 65 years. He began his career in radio broadcasting and ran several group homes for youth. He also owned multiple businesses including retail, restaurants, event and concert promotion and even a movie theatre. He had a passion for writing and he registered countless songs with the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada. He produced seven albums and published two books of his poetry. He was also the only honorary member of the Sons of the Pioneers. Being a mentor was important to Brian. He directed the chapter of Big Brothers in Trail BC and he worked with youth in group homes for 17 years. He always wanted to help young people develop life skills and a sense of their self worth. In his own businesses, he often hired people who needed a second chance at life. He always favoured the underdog and took pride in being part of others' successes. He loved movies (Tarzan, Laurel and Hardy, Bob Nolan, Humphrey Bogart and anything James Bond) and all forms of music, pop culture and entertainment. Brian often talked about how he wished someone taught him more about song writing and how it would be a boon for western music to have a mentorship program so the tradition would be passed on to future generations. What he didn't realize is that although they are rare, every once in a blue moon, someone like him will come along. Someone who discovers something that sparks their interest. Someone who immerses themselves in their new found passion. Someone whose enthusiasm is infectious and keeps traditions alive for others to treasure and appreciate. Our family would like to thank Dr. Visser and the wonderful staff at the Brandon Assiniboine Centre for their compassion and tireless work to keep Brian comfortable in his final days. We would also like to thank the Main Floor staff at Fairview Home (Diane's place of work) for their generous and endless supply of food. Thanks to our family and friends for your countless prayers, love, cards, calls, emails, flowers and hugs. A tribute to Brian's life will be held at Memories Chapel, 330 18th Street North on Wednesday, May 15 at 2:00 p.m. Please bring your stories and memories of Brian to share during a reception following the service. In lieu of flowers, please feel welcome to make a donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters, 153A 8th Street, Brandon, MB, R7A 2W9.
