Canora Courier July 20, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: In memory of mom, Mary Kuruliak, Jan. 1, 1997; dad, Nick Kuruliak, May 21, 1991, and husband Bill Sklaruk, July 20, 1992. Silent thoughts of our years together, Hold precious memories that will last forever; So many things have happened, Since you three were called away. So many things we could have shared, Had you been here to stay, - Always loved and remembered, wife and daughter, Anne Sklaruk. Canora Courier July 20, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: KOROLUK: In memory of our brother, Metro Koroluk, who passed away Aug. 1, 2004. Today recalls the memory, Of a loved one gone to rest; And those who think of him today, Are those who loved him best. The flowers we lay upon his grave, May whither and decay; But the love for him who lies beneath, Will never fade away. - Sadly missed by his sisters, brothers and their families. Canora Courier July 20, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: SKLARUK, William (Bill): A silent thought, a secret tear, Keeps his memory ever dear; Time takes away the edge of grief, But memory turns back every leaf. - Always loved and remembered by daughter Sandi and family. Canora Courier July 20, 2005 Page B7 OSTOFOROFF: Funeral service for Peter Ostoforoff, 91, of Canora, who died July 10 at Regina General Hospital, was held July 13 at Leson’s Funeral Home with members of the Canora Doukhobor Society officiating. Burial was in the Canora Cemetery with Leson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements. Born on Sept. 9, 1913, at a Doukhobor village southwest of Buchanan to Evsay and Dora (Pepin) Ostoforoff, he was six months old when his family moved to a homestead northeast of Good Spirit Lake. He attended Stratcona School. He worked on the family farm and on Nov. 4, 1939, he married Polly Abetkoff. Except for a one-year period that they spent in Grand Forks, B.C., they farmed the original homestead. In 1980, he retired and turned over the farming operation to his son, Larry. He continued to farm, working for his son. In 1990, he and Polly moved to Canora, but he continued to work on the farm on a regular basis. He often noted the special time in which he lived. From working with horses to steam tractors and on to gasoline and diesel four-wheel-drive tractors with duals, he witnessed the change from threshing 1,000 bushels of grain per day to 1,000 bushels per hour. Always in favour of progress, he noted that radios were a luxury in his youth where everyone now has access to cell phones, television and computers and this is a time of manned space flights. Predeceased by his parents, Evsay and Dora, a brother, John, and three sisters, Pearl Popoff, Mary Zaitsoff and Helen Kazakoff, he is survived by his wife, Polly; five sons, Jack (Louise) of Saskatoon, John (Veronica) of Saskatoon, Walter (Fern) of Canora, Russell (Karen) of Saskatoon and Larry (Brenda) of Canora; a daughter, Nydia (Ron) Kosinski of Sherwood Park, Alta; nine grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.

In 1962, they moved to Canora. They spent numerous winters in Palm Springs. After his wife died in 1999, he continued to live on his own with the help of home care nurses. Earlier this year, his health took a turn for the worse and he moved to the Eaglestone Lodge. Predeceased by his parents, Dmytriw and Tekla, his wife, Natalie, and a sister, Mary Kinal, he is survived by a daughter, Joanne (Dale) Boddy of Red Deer; a brother, Steve of Buchanan; and two grandchildren. |
