Today we lost a true gentleman.

On Tuesday, March 18, 2014, Roman Ruchkall, aged 70 years, of Anola, MB, passed away peacefully at Health Science Centre.  He fought a good fight and had to put his gloves down.

Dad was a kind-hearted and loving man who cared deeply about others and had a heart of gold, always putting  others  ahead of himself.  He could make you laugh no matter what the situation was.  Dad was strong and hardworking.  He loved farming and animals of all shapes and sizes.  Dad enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, hunting, flowers and BINGO!  He liked to spend time with this his friends, telling stories and having coffee.  Dad had a strong faith in God.

The family would like to thank Drs. Hussain and Van Rensburg, the Russian Doctor (Marina) and the whole staff at CancerCare Urgent Care.

Dad, you were a lot of things to a lot of people but to us, you were everything.  We love you and you will forever be in our hearts.
