Clifford Joseph Opyc

September 19, 1951 ~ July 9, 2016

 It is with heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Clifford Opyc with his loving family by his side at age 64.

Clifford will be sadly missed by his loving, caring wife Margaret and children Cory (Deanna), Stacy, and very adored granddaughter Danna-lee.

He is also survived by his mother Eva Opyc, brothers John Opyc (Barb), Greg Opyc (Lori), sister Mary Kuzyk (Tim), sister-in-law Tammy Opyc, mother-in-law Anne Stutski, brothers-in-law Allan Stutski (Donna), Gary Stutski, Grant Stutski (Debbie), Lawrence Stutski (Leanne), John Stutski (Sherri), sisters-in-law Terrie Hofer (Sam), Rose Sahidak (Ted), and numerous nieces and nephews.  He was predeceased by his father Joseph, brother Ronald, sister Gloria Dudych and father-in-law Sam Stutski.

Clifford was born and raised in Beausejour, Manitoba.  He lived most of his life on the family Opyc homestead in Seddon’s Corner.  He worked his entire career with Inland Aggregates.  Clifford loved operating his loader and cutting his acres and acres of grass.

Clifford enjoyed playing crib and watching hockey.  He was a big Toronto Maple Leafs fan.  He was an amazing Poppa to Danna-lee and she brought him such joy and fulfillment to his heart and to his life.
