Mr. Blake William Haverluck, age 75, of Thornloe Drive, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday January 8th, 2019. Blake was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on June 19th, 1943 to Bill and Marie Haverluck (nee Korolyk). After graduating from Hillcrest High School in Port Arthur, he began working for Bell Canada and retired in 1994 with over 30 years of service. Blake is survived by his wife Patricia (née Davidson - Kornichuk), his daughters, Suzanne Marshall (Vancouver), Kim Haverluck (Calgary) and step-daughter Kristine Humphrey. He was lovingly known as "Papa B" to his grandchildren, Jillian, Carmen and Laura Marshall (Vancouver)-Parker, Ryan and Ella Ambury (Calgary)-Joe, Jesse and Lily Humphrey and to his many nieces and nephews. Blake's younger brother Tim and his family in Winnipeg along with his sister-in-law Lynn and her family in Kamloops also survive him. He was predeceased by his parents, youngest brother Cliff and only sister Constance. Blake's first wife Donna (née French) passed away in 1994. Throughout Blake's life he was passionate about all sports, woodworking (Built @Blake's), fishing, BBQing and making his famous Caesars. He valued many wonderful friendships and most importantly, spending time with his family. He was fortunate to have been loved by all of the extended French family and Davidson clan. A memorial and celebration is planned for early summer 2019. Donations to the local Humane Society in Blake's memory would be sincerely appreciated.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Blake, I work for Bell and had the pleasure of working with him and going on a few fishing trips in red Lake. Always had a way to make you laugh. Thoughts are with you all.

I have fond memories of your dad from the days out at the French's Camp. Blake was always a kind fellow. I saw him only a month ago at the grocery store where I had a quick conversation with him. Such a kind man. Shocked and sorry to hear about his passing.

To Blake's Family.
My deepest sympathies on Blake's passing.
Blake was a great guy and I am honoured to have known him.
I met Blake through the TCTECA curling events and learned a lot from him both in Delegate meetings and in the Hospitality room.
I will always treasure the Bird House and Bat House that Blake built for me a few years ago.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
