Dearest family… We know what your wishes were and we hope you always know we are always here for you in thoughts, prayers, love and spirit. Your dad had a life he set for himself… and we admired his gusto and humour through tough times and fun times. We will forever treasure our memories of times spent with him, laughter and fun with his no nonsense outlook on life. He had the strength and determination that others only wish for! He has earned a very comfortable reward in heaven and he is now surrounded in God’s kingdom with the family and friends he loved sharing his time, telling stories, laughter, dancing and jokes that were truly his… our dear brother, uncle and your dad, grandpa and friend to so many! You will be close in our prayers – though distance kept us apart more than we ever wanted it to. With all our love… from sister Aurelie Balanchuk, niece/daughter Erlene (and husband Grant, sons Clarke and Bryce) Monteith, nephew/son Paul Balanchuk and our dad in heaven re-united with Uncle Clem now…Peter Balanchuk.xoxoxoxo…
