Steve Hinkewich suddenly passed away on Wednesday, October 6th at Holy Family Home at the age of 93. Born in a tiny farm house in Libau, Manitoba in 1928, Steve liked to refer to himself as a 'Depression Baby' who had 5 brothers and 3 sisters. He moved to Winnipeg, met Marion, his wife of 37 years, and started a family. He made a career at Canadian Pacific Railway where he made numerous friends, and had been retired for 35 years.

Steve leaves behind his wife Diane, her children and grandchildren, his two sons, Bryan (Vivian) and Ron (Darlene), 5 Grandchildren; Ryan, Chris, and Scott, Greg and Kirstie, 9 Great Grandchildren and his sister, Ann Manko.
