My most heartfelt condolences to you, Arlene, and all the family. You must have so many wonderful memories. I got to know well Eugene's positive attitude and sense of humour , over a span of just one year. We lived across the hall from each other, that first year of teaching in Wynyard, over 50 years ago. We shared a lot of stories and some food that year. The best memory was of the knock on my door one evening, when Eugene and Arlene came to announce their engagement. They even allowed me to take a photo of them, by the light of just one candle. It was great to meet again a few years ago through mutual friends in Calgary.

So sorry to hear about Eugene. I have memories of Arlene and Eugene when they lived in Norquay. Sympathy to all the family. Judy ( Sorochuk) and Eugene Patenaude

We were extremely saddened to hear of Eugene’s passing. To you, Arlene and girls and your extended family, May the comfort of the Lord and the many cherished memories, be with you as you go through your difficult time. Our deepest sympathies to you all. Eugene was a very colourful man. He was very entertaining, a wonderful host, very compassionate and very generous. We will miss him but also cherish his memory. Ron & Adeline and family.

Our condolences to you and your family

Our entire family values our long-standing friendship with the Sorochuk family. I send my condolences with a heavy heart today.

My deepest condolences Arlene, Loraine, Coralie, Lesia, Colleen & families. May your cherished memories help ease the pain at this difficult time.

‘My heart is heavy to hear of Eugene’s passing. He was always so full of life and did love to cook, I remember that so well as I had the privilege of getting to know you all while sharing space on Preston. Arlene, Lorraine, Coralie, Leisa and Colleen I pray that you all feel a sense of peace and comfort as you navigate through these days of sorrow and grief. Know that the Lord loves and cares for you always! Love Elaine ♥️

My greatest condolences to you Arlene and the rest of your family on the loss of your loved one. He was a good man and a good teacher.

My deepest sympathy to Arlene and the family. He was a very knowledgeable, encouraging and wonderful teacher and sparked my interests in history and politics. Sorry to hear.

My sincere sympathy to Arlene and all of your family. I used to enjoy conversations with Eugene at Teacher Conferences. He always had very knowledgeable comments and opinions. Cherish your wonderful memories.

My condolences to you Arlene and your family. Many great thoughts of Eugene as one of our favourite teachers while growing up in Norquay.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Mr. Sorchuk. He was a great teacher and a great person! My deepest condolences!

The Sorochuks were Neighbors and friends from the Arabella area! I remember all of them even though I was a lot younger. But my siblings were of Eugenes age. Your Baba and Gido were such fine people

It sounds like Eugene lived a full and successful life

Our sincere sympathy to you!

Dear Arlene and family, Mr Sorchuk was always one of my favourite teachers. I always remember that chipmunk grin and smiling eyes..he was always ready for a chuckle. My prayers are with you at this time.

My sympathy to Arlene and all your family. I remember all the fun times we had when we visited you when you were in Wynyard and the last time we stayed with you when we were at the Calgary Stampede. Our families were so close and Eugene will be truly missed.

My condolences to Arlene and family. I have the upmost respect for his dedication as a teacher, and always enjoyed his sincere conversations with me as a young adult.

Sincerely Craig Moroz
