  • Notes 
    • STEPHEN JAMES RICH Peacefully on Thursday, February 7, 2013 at home, Steve passed away at the age of 51. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Gladys, his daughter Sarah and son-in-law Stephen Dyck, his mother-in-law Helen Wall, his sisters Betty (Jack) Lee, Cathy (Floyd) Robertson, Mary Anne (Luc) Giroux, brothers Gord (Lori) Rich, Peter Rich, sister-in-law Laurie Luckashavitch, sisters-in-law Linda (Brian) Kroeker, Valerie (Brian) Peasey, Leona Schwarzhoff and numerous, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Carl and Edna Rich, father-in-law Leonard Schwarzhoff, brothers Edwin and Calvin, niece Megan Giroux and nephew Michael Giroux. Steve was born in North Bay, ON and grew up in Powassan, ON. After graduation, he took a job in the mine at Manitouwadge, ON where he met Gladys. They had a long distance relationship for four years while she attended university in Winnipeg. When she graduated and took a job, he followed her to Winnipeg. He found a job and immediately proposed and then he was laid off. They married on June 28, 1986 and he found a job at Westburne Electric that fall. They bought a house in Norwood and in August 1991, their daughter Sarah was born. When she was three, they moved to Windsor Park and a year later, got a dog (Bernie). Gladys's sisters had moved to Winnipeg and Steve was always helping them with their homes. Steve had many friends and was always ready to help with any project they had going. Steve was active in raising Sarah and helped coach her softball team and took her to skating lessons. She always had both parents at every swimming competition or school function. Steve loved the outdoors and enjoyed going to Val and Brian's cottage. He enjoyed fishing off the dock at Vern and Jill's cottage. He loved his outdoor fireplace and most Friday's you could find him sitting in front of the fire. Steve attended church with Gladys and hearing the sermon was most important to him. After his illness, it kept him away from church because of comfort, where he found church programs on TV to watch. When we realized he would be leaving work and going on disability, we bought a 7 year old dog (Chandler) to keep him company as Bernie had passed away a year earlier. Steve always believed in helping where he could and treating people right and didn't expect anything in return. He will be greatly missed. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. at Sterling Mennonite Fellowship, 1008 Dakota Street. Interment will be at 1:30 p.m. prior to the funeral at Green Acres Cemetery. A viewing will be held Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Green Acres Funeral Home Cemetery, Hwy #1 East at Navin Road, Winnipeg, MB. Memorial donations can be made to the ALS Society, 493 Madison Street, Winnipeg, MB R3J 1J2.
