TKACHUK: It is with great sadness that the family of Louis Tkachuk announces his sudden passing on March 6th, 2014, at the age of 84. Louis is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Kathy (Albert) Massé; son, Ken (Cathy) Tkachuk; grandchildren, Rhea (Shawn) O'Hara, Chad (Sara) Massé, Chandra Tkachuk, Kacy Tkachuk, and Colby Tkachuk; great grandchildren, Lukin O'Hara, Ryland Massé, Ayla Massé, and Brenna Massé; and numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews. Louis was predeceased by his beloved wife, Sophie; his parents, Onufrey and Theodora; his two brothers, Bill (Ann) Tkachuk and George (Pauline) Tkachuk; his three sisters, Anna (John) Michalenko, Pauline (Les) Sadler, Mary (John) Zaichkowsky. Louis hauled livestock and grain in the Hafford area and later started farming and raising his own livestock. The family lived in the town of Hafford for many years, but eventually settled to a farm south-east of Hafford, where his son and family still live. Louis had a big heart and was always ready to bring laughter anywhere he went by telling a joke (or a story from his vast repertoire). As per Louis's request there was not a formal service held and a private family interment will occur at a later date. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Trevor Watts of Eternal Memories Funeral Service and Crematorium and Hawryluk Funeral Homes. Thank-you The family would like to express a heart-felt thank-you to all of those who expressed their condolences and support through visits, cards, phone calls, gifts of food, and acts of love and kindness during this very sad time. It was all greatly appreciated.
