Obituary of NEIL DIDUCK

NEIL DIDUCK Neil Diduck passed away early evening on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at the age of 55 surrounded by family and friends. He was predeceased by his mother, Florence. He will be sadly missed by his loving children, April and Michael, his father Steve, his sister Lynne and her husband Randy Lasuik; his nephew and niece Jordan and Stefanie along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Neil was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where he lived for the first 15 years of his life, before moving to Winnipeg in the summer of 1973. He began working for Sears Canada in October 1979, beginning his prominent and rewarding career spanning almost 35 years. Throughout his career, he became close friends with many of his co-workers, who became his family away from home and who were by his side throughout the entirety of his life all the way up until his untimely passing. A lifelong fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, he enjoyed watching and playing both football and golf and spent many afternoons either in the backyard or on the links with his family and friends. Neil had a heart of gold and was always known for helping out those around him, lending a hand whenever he could. He always had kind words for everyone. We would like to extend special thanks for those who visited him during his last days; especially to the staff at the Victoria General Hospital who went above and beyond the call of duty for him. A memorial service for Neil will be held at Mary, Mother of the Church, 85 Kirkbridge Drive, Winnipeg, MB on Friday, March 14th at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Neil's memory to the Victoria General Hospital Foundation.
