Dan LIBICH Obituary
March 24, 1933 – May 8, 2017
With sadness and a heavy heart, we announce that Dan passed away peacefully at age 84, and is now soaring above the clouds with his new set of wings.
He's survived by his loving partner and best friend Kathy Korchinsky, her children Kevin and Candace, nieces, nephews and friends. Dan was predeceased by his parents John and Lena Libich, and sisters Anne Snaychuk and Mary Mayes. Dan was a pilot with a life- long passion for flying-full-sized aircraft and the remote-control beauties he built as a model-airplane enthusiast.
At Dan's request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Edmonton Radio Control Society (ERCS), of which Dan was an original member: Attention Brian Bell, 9008-158 Ave., Edmonton, AB T5Z 3G3.

We will miss you Dan. He was the kind of man who lived up to the words " it's not what you say or do when everyone is watching it's what you do when no ones looking". Kind, loyal, humble, unassuming Dan! He would be mortified if you shone a spotlight on him but today I'm going to do it anyway. The sky is clear the stars are shining the runway is lit, you are cleared for takeoff Sir. Safe journey Godspeed. Love Bob&Gladys Sinner

Kathy, Kevin (Deb) and Candace. Dan was such a wonderful addition to your lives so many years ago and brought so much laughter, love and support to you all. I hope your grief is short to make room for all of the memories you have tucked away.

How Blessed we were to have such an amazing soul in our lives. So many good memories of Uncle Danny taking us flying, fun at the lake, family dinners and sharing his love of gardening with us. I will miss his laughter and how he could cheer one up with just a few words spoken. I will always think of him when I plant my flowers every Spring and use all the tips and wisdom he shared about plants and flowers.

Sincere sympathy to all of Danny's Family.
He was a special person with much empathy for all.
My husband, Jo and I worked with Dan at Wardair where he was a member of the "Planning Department."
Have many memories of the fun we all had.
With special thoughts,

Dear Kathy and family,
We're saddened to hear of Dan's passing, and will keep you all in our prayers. Dan was such a blessing to our family as a wonderful neighbour. The kids have fond memories, as do I. He tought me how to service my lawn mower, shared his passion for model airplanes with the kids, taking Jeremy to fly the remote controlled one on a Saturday. Seeing him tend his flowers and yard we shared many conversations over the fence. We were blessed with his love and will miss him dearly.
