We Remember

LYDYNIUK, Harry

—

​1934 – 2022

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father and grandfather, Harry Lydyniuk, on January 2, 2022, with his loving family by his side, at the care home Village at Smith Creek, in West Kelowna, BC.

Harry was predeceased by his beloved wife Madeleine in 2019, after 59 years of marriage; his parents John and Mary; three sisters Ann Ledeniuk, Doris Buzikievich, and Pearl Federovich; and two brothers Peter and Steve.  Harry leaves behind two sisters, Anastasia Cebriy, and Helen (Nick) Kostur; his three children Sheryl LaTosky (Neal), Wayne (Laura), and Lydia (Dave); and his precious grandchildren Brooklyn, Kirstyn, Malynda (John), Junielle, Angela (Josh), Brandon, and Sandra; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Harry was born on April 28, 1934, on the family farm in St Julien, Saskatchewan.  He was the fifth child of John and Mary’s eight children.  Harry and Madeleine were married on May 7, 1960. Their journey together began in Wakaw, SK, then they moved to BC, living in Vancouver, Burton, Mica Creek, Sicamous then Kelowna.

Dad’s passion was operating his grader.  He worked on the Mica Dam, Revelstoke Dam, Coquihalla Highway, and many roads around BC and Saskatchewan.

Dad loved to work on projects in his house, garage, and around the yard.  He loved his gardening, and his walnut and fruit trees.  Dad was a perfectionist with everything he did.  This trait was passed on to his children and grandchildren.  Family was very important to Dad, and he loved the holidays when we were all together and spending time with his grandchildren.

There is a hole in all our hearts that will never be filled again.

The family would like to give special thanks to all the staff at the Village of Smith Creek for the exceptional care that Dad received.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC in honour of Harry’s name.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
