Spending 35 years in the Canadian Armed Forces serving across Canada as an Armourer, Orest retired in Winnipeg as a Chief Warrant Officer. He then went to work for Bristol Aerospace until his untimely death. He served his community in many volunteer capacities with his generous efforts appreciated by the various communities he lived in across Canada. Whenever anyone needed help, Orest was there to provide assistance and encouragement. Of particular interest to him were youth oriented endeavours a trait he has passed onto his children. Orest was well loved, appreciated and respected by his family, friends, neighbours and co-workers.
