Obituary for
Louis Joseph «Leonard» Latko (Latka)
September 30, 1934 to January 22, 2022
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Uncle Leonard on January 22, 2022 at the age of 87.
Leonard will be lovingly remembered by his brother-in-law, Jim, sister-in-law, Victoria; along with numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, John and Mary; his brothers, Walter, Peter, Tom, Tony, Lloyd and Albert; and his sisters, Annie, Frances, Evelyn and Helen.
Leonard grew up in Waskatenau, Alberta. He lived in Los Angeles, California for much of his adult life where he enjoyed warm weather, ten pin bowling and Angels baseball games. He returned to Edmonton after retirement – the opposite of most – where he enjoyed time with family, watching Oilers hockey, playing bingo and casino slots. He will be remembered for his love of family and Ukrainian food – especially perogies and sauerkraut cabbage rolls.
A Funeral Service will be held Tuesday, February 8, 2022 at 10 a.m. at Park Memorial, 9709 – 111 Avenue, NW Edmonton.

A viewing will be available one hour prior to the service. A lunch will be served after the service. Interment to follow in Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
The family is sincerely grateful to the kind staff of the Benevolence Care Centre for their care of Uncle Leonard over the past three years.
