He leaves his best friend and beloved wife of 44 years, Margaret; his sister Mary; mother-in-law Mary Jaman; brother-in-law Bill; and numerous nieces and nephews to mourn his passing. He was predeceased by his parents, William and Theodoscia Shuwera; one brother-in-law Tony Kosowan; and father-in-law John Jaman. Maurice was born and raised in Vita, Man., leaving to take jobs that began with bush work, to mechanical working for Chrysler Canada, to finally taking a job with Manitoba Bearing, where he was employed for 11 years. He however came full circle, returning to Vita with Margaret in 1969 to do what he had always wanted to do, cattle farming. What was unique with Maurice was that he had a name for every single cow in his herd of cattle. Maurice was very easy going and could strike up a conversation with anyone, thus earning him many friendships. He was known for his humorous side of having a nickname for everyone. Maurice had many favorite pastimes, from swapping stories with friends at the coffee shop, to hunting and fishing or driving his four-wheeler, to collecting baseball caps or tools (probably every tool made). He enjoyed watching all sports, especially baseball. Maurice also liked shopping for expensive jewelry on special occasions for Margaret. It was not only the shopping he enjoyed, but it also was the dickering with the sales person where he would surely get a discount. Maurice was a devout family man, looking after his mother for nine years before she entered the Vita Personal Care Home. He was president of the St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in Caliento, Man. His ill health didn't stop him and Margaret from still going out, whether it was for supper or to shop or just for a drive. Maurice still enjoyed company and was glad when family or friends, especially Jayson, came to visit. Maurice will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all who knew him. Prayers for Maurice were said Wednesday, Aug. 9, 7:30 p.m., at Steinbach Funeral Home. The funeral service was held Thursday, Aug. 10, 10 a.m., at the St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in Caliento. In memory of Maurice, donations may be made to the Manitoba Lung Association, 629 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R3A 1P6.

Mom spent years nursing and loved to visit and look after the elderly and handicapped people. Rose was such a devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother and in her desire to have children, Mom and Dad adopted us five children; her family was very important to her.

Dad loved his family, and delighted in their visits and in family get-togethers. He was also actively involved in his church. He taught Sunday school for more than 30 years, and sang in hospitals and personal care homes in Steinbach and Vita, Man. with The Singing Grandpas for about 35 years. After a week's stay in the Ste.

He lived his life passionately with a contagious love for his family and friends. As a husband, he modeled the love of Christ by daily laying down his life for his bride of 47 years. As a father and grandfather he never missed an opportunity to be a support and help in good times and bad. As a friend he was "the glue that held the neighbourhood together". Rudy will be missed terribly for his huge heart and humble wit. His love for biking, skiing, fishing and playing hockey were times he cherished with his friends and family. We don't know why God took him so soon, but there is joy and peace in the knowledge that He is with His Lord and Savoir, Jesus, God's Son. Rudy is survived by his loving wife Anne: his two sons, James and Rod; his daughter-in-law Karen; and his grandchildren, Matthew, Andrew and Sarah. He is also survived by three brothers and six sisters.
