Obituary of WALTER ZUEFF

Walter Zueff

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Walter Zueff, suddenly on August 22, 2018.

Walter was a beloved husband, father and brother to those left behind to keep his memory. Those include his wife, Luba, his children Michael (Tannis) and Lisa Cummings (Sean), and his grandchildren Riley, Kieran, Kiersten, and Kaity. He will also be missed by his brother and sister in law, Don and Sigrid, and their children Stefan, Eric and Heather.

He is predeceased by his father and mother, William and Lena Zueff, brother in infancy, Michael, and in-laws, Peter and Katherine Chomyn.

He was born in Winnipeg on August 19, 1937. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Fraserwood, MB to start farming, where he worked hard with his Mother while his Father was away working in the bush. Walter went to school in Teulon, and then moved back to Winnipeg in his early 20’s.

He worked as an accountant for several local businesses, including International Lab, Silpit Industries and Pritchard Engineering. During that time he received his CMA degree and in 1988 he started his own accounting practice, EXCEL Management, which he ran successfully with his wife for 27 years.

Walter will always be remembered for his warm, gregarious personality, his devotion to his wife and children, and the enormous pride he had for his grandchildren.

A funeral service will be held on Monday August 27, at 2:00pm at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. Interment to follow in Holy Family Cemetery.
