Steve (“Poupore”) Buchowski – October 13, 1928 – October 1, 2017. It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved uncle. Steve will be dearly missed by all of his family and he will forever be in our hearts.
Beloved son of John and Justyna Buchowski (both predeceased). Dear brother of Mary, predeceased (brother-in-law Michael Shamley, predeceased), Helen predeceased, (brother-in-law Robert Howard, predeceased), and John, predeceased (sister-in-law Mary). Cherished uncle to Michael, Randy, and Susan of Sudbury and Tom (predeceased), Bob, John, David, Linda (predeceased), Mary, Carol and Susan of Hamilton. Proud great uncle to many more nieces and nephews.
Steve began his career with INCO at the Coniston Smelter in 1947 and retired from INCO’s Iron Ore Recovery Plant after a distinguished 40 years of service. When he wasn’t working and into his retirement years Steve enjoyed throwing rocks at the Sudbury Curling Club and playing darts at the Colonial Inn in Coniston. He was also an original member of the Twin Stacks Golf Club and when he wasn’t golfing during the summer months he enjoyed a few cold ones at the family camp watching his Toronto Blue Jays. Steve was also an avid traveler and saw much of the world while travelling with the Veselka Ukrainian Dancers.
We would like to sincerely thank the staff at Maison McCulloch Hospice for their compassionate care during Steve’s final hours there.
There will be a funeral mass on Saturday, October 14, 2017 at 9:30 am at the St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, 48 William Ave, Coniston. Interment in the Sudbury Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of sending flowers, donations to the Maison McCulloch Hospice would be appreciated. Friends may gather at the church after 9:15am Saturday, October 14, 2017. No funeral home visitation.
