Richard John Sciuk passed peacefully from this world in the early hours of May 3rd, 2024 following a brief illness in his ninety-fourth year.

Born to parents Jan Sciuk and Stella, predeceased by his brother, George Sciuk and Rose.

Richard (Dick) is survived by his wife of 71 years, Shirley and sons John (Marilyn), Robert (Karen) and Philip (Julie), 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Dick grew up on Olive Avenue in Oshawa, and attended Holy Cross and later O’Neil CVI where he excelled in various sports, and earned his collegiate letter.

Dick’s early years were spent helping his parents in their small grocery business, until he opened his own business which lead to the former Oshawa landmark, Provincial Tile on Simcoe Street South.

This evolved to become the Furniture Galleries on Champlain Avenue in Oshawa.

Youngest son Philip entered business with Dick after graduating from Trent University, and they became an inseparable team and respected stalwarts of the Oshawa business community.

Dick and Shirley met in grade 2 at Holy Cross, and some years later became constant dance partners at the Jubilee sock hops. They became engaged and then wed in story-book fashion in July of 1953.

As a well oiled team, Dick and Shirley raised three boys and ran a small business.

Their mutual love, work ethic, abiding faith and commitment to family and community were exemplary, and instilled in three generations of the family.

In addition to Dick’s work ethic, he excelled in various sports, including football, baseball, tennis, golf, skiing and boxing. Various sports page clippings referred to him as a “pint sized piece of dynamite” when describing his surprisingly frequent game winning home runs.

In addition to his skill with a bat, he regularly played third base and short stop on various community and varsity teams, including the Oshawa Orioles, and a Mills Motors junior Ontario championship team.

Dick knew what it took to win, and lead by example in every aspect of his life. He will be sorely missed.

Roy passed away peacefully in the comfort of his home, surrounded by those he loved, on Friday, April 26, 2024, at the age of 76 years.

He was the cherished husband and best friend of Lynne (nee Ashe).

Roy will always be loved and remembered by his daughters Nicola and Lisa Skillen (Trevor).

He was a beloved grandpa, affectionately known as "grumpers," to Ryan, Jessica, Connor, Abigail, and great-grandpa to Sophia, Jaxon, and Lyla.

Roy is also survived by his brother Alan, brothers-in-law Tom (Ellen), Billy (Linda), Ricky (Apple), Rodney Ashe, and sister-in-law Grace Rodgers (Jim).

Roy was born in Northern Ireland and immigrated to Canada with his wife and daughter Nicola in 1974.

He dedicated much of his life to his family and his career as a Maintenance Electrician at General Motors Oshawa for 30 years, after a short retirement he decided the ‘idle’ life was not for him and went back to work for Hydro One servicing Northern Ontario, finally taking retirement in 2014.

Beyond his professional life, Roy had a love for life and a range of hobbies. He enjoyed travel, fishing, boating, and spending time with friends & family.

His enthusiasm for these activities always brought joy to those around him. His greatest passion; however, was for football (soccer) and being a life-long supporter of Linfield FC. Nothing brought Roy more joy than to see them win on the pitch at Windsor Park in Belfast.

A memorial ceremony will be held at the Church of the Ascension Anglican, 266 North Street, Port Perry on Thursday May 2, 2024 at 1:00 PM with reception to follow in the Church Hall.

November 18, 1930 - Apri 14, 2024

With sadness, we announce the passing of our dear father and grandfather, Roger, at Lakeridge Health Oshawa.

The son of Constance and Percy Maggs, Roger was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta.

He leaves behind his brother Stanley, children Jocelyn, Greg and Valerie, and grandchildren Madeline, Elizabeth, Leslie, Elliott, Natalie and Connor.

He was predeceased by his beloved wife Joan, his son Barry and his grandson Alexander.

Roger was an Anglican minister, ordained in 1956.

He served in several parishes in Edmonton, then in Langley and Port Coquitlam BC. In 1972 he came to Ontario to further his education in pastoral counselling, studying at the former Queen St Mental Health Centre for 2 years.

He then took a position at the Oshawa General Hospital as their first ever full time chaplain. Eventually, he returned to parish life as the minister of St. Matthews in Oshawa and after retirement he was the Honorary Assistant at St. John’s in Whitby. Roger was a born athlete and singer.

He played almost every sport he could in high school and university. He started singing from a young age in church choirs. Before going to divinity school at Emmanuel College in Saskatoon, he studied engineering at the U of A in Edmonton.

A lifelong golfer,he continued to golf until his mid eighties when his vision was affected by a stroke. This was a passion he passed down to his sons and grandsons.

His lovely tenor voice was a great asset to his ministry and he continued to sing in the St John’s choir until Covid ‘s arrival. His was an active and busy life.

In their retirement Joan and Roger travelled extensively; several times leading tour groups to the Passion Play at Oberammergau.

They were very active in church life and they were part of the 420 Golden Wing at the Oshawa Airport where Dad told “clean” jokes and led singsongs. For many years he ran their annual golf tournament. He also served as the secretary of the pastoral education association and sang in several choirs including the one at St Johns.

Mom and Dad were able to remain in their own home into their 90’s but after mom’s passing, Dad moved to the Village of Taunton Mills where he spent his last years in reasonably good health, until the past few months. We thank the staff there for their care.

Funeral and interment of ashes to be held at St John’s Whitby in late June, date and time to be confirmed.

Arrangements with OSHAWA FUNERAL HOME .

In lieu of flowers, donations to St.Johns would be welcomed.
