It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Walter Chubey, at the age of 81 on April 2, 2017, with family by his side after a short courageous battle with cancer. Walter was born in Grandview, MB on May 22, 1935 to Mike and Molly Chubey. Growing up, Walter worked on the family farm till he was age 16, when Walter and brother Tony went logging. Walter then went to work for Pasareno Construction in Grandview, MB. Walter married the love of his life, Olive. They were married in 1961 in Grandview, MB and were married for 55 years. Walter and Olive had five children whom he adored; Gaylene, Grant, Darwin, Shannon, and Curtis. Walter worked hard all his life and worked away from home a lot. It was always hard on him leaving his family behind. Walter then moved his family to Prince Albert in 1975 to continue working for Brent Construction. He retired in 2002 from Northern American Rock and Dirt after working in the construction industry for more than 40 years. Walter enjoyed gardening and working on his tractors. His greatest love though was his visits with his kids, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
