HOWARD JOHN SCHWARTZ It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Howard John Schwartz, on Friday, January 3, 2020.

Howard and Lettie raised 3 children in Winnipeg’s North End before moving to Transcona in 1958, where they had 2 more children. Howard was a delivery driver for Hudson’s Bay Wholesale until he retired in 1990. In his spare time he enjoyed fishing at Betula Lake, gardening, bowling and playing crib. Howard loved to cook and bake for his family and spend time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. At Howard’s request, no formal service will be held. A private celebration of his life will take place at a later date. Donations in memory can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Manitoba.
