Obituary Overview
Lovingly Remembered
Born in Coleman, AB on September 28, 1938, Ernie passed away peacefully at the Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary on November 18, 2018 at the age of 80.
Ern spent the majority of his career with AGT until his retirement at 55. Although Ern was given many challenges throughout his life he met them the same way he faced his passing; with courage and tenacity. He was a passionate, generous man who spent his life caring for others and would never turn down the opportunity to teach someone how to drive.
He is survived by his nieces, Denise Nolan (Garry), Pat Yates (Ron Dixon), Maureen Yates-Dootka (Tim) and nephews, Dr. Brent Skura (Valerie) and Dr. Douglas Skura (Kris), as well as 11 great-nieces and nephews and 7 great-great-nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sisters, Helen Skura (Bill), Teresia Yates (Lloyd) and Paula Korcuska, and his parents Erma and Steve Korcuska.
There will be no funeral service at this time. His ashes will be interred in the Crowsnest Pass in the spring.
Thank you to the nurses, staff and doctors on Unit 47 for the wonderful care they gave to Ernie in his final days.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Ernest Stephen Korcuska 2018..
