Obituary for George Windsor Sylvester Holubitsky
George Holubitsky May 12,1937-September 19,2022
George passed away on September 19,2022 after a full life shared with the love of his life, Sally and their devoted children, Todd (Elaine) and Marcie (Doug). George will also be sadly missed by his Grandchildren, Savannah (Caleb), Jordi and Troy. As well as his Great Grandchildren, Kelton, Marley Bleu and Hendrix. George was predeceased by his parents Dan and Lucille Holubitsky and Grandson, Jason Holubitsky.
George was born and raised in Oakburn, Manitoba where he attended grade school and then St. Paul's High School and Kelvin High School in Winnipeg. Following high school, George graduated from The St. Boniface School of Radiography. He was then employed by Getty Oil. Later, with his business partner, they purchased Martel Stewart Ltd. which was operated successfully for multiple years. In the latter of his career, the company was sold to Jim Pattison Sign Group where he was employed until his retirement at 72 years of age.
Dad was always one to volunteer his time and energy to coach many years of amateur sport in Woodhaven. He started out as a temporary coach of The Woodhaven girls softball team and inherited the team for 4 more years. To this day, the girls still call him "Coach". George also enjoyed many years of playing ball for the senior men's Woodhaven Tics and curled at The Granite Curling Club.
He had a penchant for sports cars from his 57 Dodge Convertible to his Corvettes. He was a life long Blue Bomber and Jets fan and could cite any players history and stats.
George and Sally were blessed with 61 years of marriage and were the epitome of best friends. They were fortunate to travel many years together with their favorite being countless cruises to many locations abroad. George was a consummate friend to all and readily had a joke for everybody.
Dad, we wanted to sincerely thank you for your love, support and brilliant advice throughout the years. You were humble, grounded and rich in love. God Bless and rest easy. You truly were "A Man for Others".
We would like to extend thanks to the Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Services as well as the emergency staff at The Grace General Hospital for their exceptional care provided for Dad. Flowers are gratefully declined, however, donations can be made to the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba.
Funeral services will be held on Monday September 26,2022 at 3 p.m. at St Paul The Apostle Church, 2400 Portage Avenue with reception immediately following in the church hall. Funeral provided by Neil Bardal Funeral Home.
