Obituary of WALTER JOHN CHUDO

WALTER JOHN CHUDO

AUGUST 17, 1938 TO MARCH 16, 2021

Walter Chudo, aged 82, passed away at Seven Oaks Hospital after succumbing to Pneumonia and the

lingering effects of surviving COVID-19.

Walter was born in Winnipeg, MB to Jean and Andrew Chudo, the eldest of three children.

A proud North End resident his entire life, Dad graduated from Tec Voc High as a mechanic and began

operating Transport Towing and later Harvey’s Mobile Transport, alongside his wife Bonnie. Together

they became parents to Allison, Barb, Andy and Nancy. Dad also had a special bond with his many feline

friends along the years, most recently his beloved Chaos.

After years of long haul towing and mobile transport, Dad quietly retired and lived a simple life on his

own. He spent time in his shop restoring classic cars, building race cars, and entertaining numerous

childhood friends while playing Cribbage and sharing happy memories of Dream Weaver drag racing in

Gimli, MB. He also enjoyed Jets and Bombers games on TV and always stayed up late for Letterman. His

adventurous side was apparent with many road trips, mostly around Manitoba and sometimes driving

West.

Dad was sadly predeceased by his brother John Chudo; his parents Jean and Andrew Chudo; his great

nephew Michael Chudo; his sister Susan Undiks; and a number of his close friends. He is survived by his

ex wife Bonnie Chudo; his children Allison Hanuschuk (Rod), Barb Cobb (Dallas), Andy Chudo, and Nancy

Kessler; his grandchildren Emily Hanuschuk and Morgan Kessler; nieces Marilyn Puglisi and Cynthia

Undiks; nephews Wally Chudo (Tracy), Ron Chudo, and William Undiks; and numerous great nieces and

nephews.

A kind thank-you to Dr. Collister and team, Third Floor, Unit 2, Seven Oaks Hospital for providing Dad

with comfort and reassurance in his final days, and to the Pharmacy team at Empire Drugs for their care

and compassion that spanned decades.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation of time or money to the Winnipeg Humane Society or a

charity of choice.

Cremation has taken place as per Dad's wishes and a family funeral is arranged as per COVID-19 restrictions.
