STASYS “STAN” NOREIKA, beloved husband of Grazina “Grace” Noreika, of Lethbridge, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital, on Tuesday, November 27, 2018 at the age of 94 years.

Our hearts are forever filled with a lifetime of wonderful memories of love, kindness and graciousness that will remain with us until we meet again.

He is the loving father of Virginia (Bob) Moore and Lori (Terry) Casey; inspirational grandfather to Kendra (James) Rolheiser, Darryl (Robbie) Moore, Candace Harding, Gregory (Amanda) Moore, Farren (Kailey) Harding, Nicole (Adam) Hunter and Adam Casey; and great-grandfather to Carter Michael Moore, Ellis Moore, Sloane Moore, Tyrus Rolheiser, Darius Harding, Cassandra Sloan, Marissa Sloan, Beau Hunter and Ava Casey.

Stan was born March 22, 1924 in Virbalis, Lithuania. He immigrated to Canada in 1948. He met and married his soul mate, our mother, and they were together for almost 68 years. He was very devoted to his faith, being very active in the church and was proud to be a part of the Knights of Columbus, where he became a 4th Degree Knight and a Grand Knight. He started working for the Government of Alberta in 1950, and continued there until his retirement in January of 1985.  He had a very successful career and his contributions to Alberta’s Irrigation farm community was appreciated by all. His career began as an Irrigation Specialist in Lethbridge. He then relocated to Calgary as a Regional Irrigation Specialist. His last role was Coordinator of the Irrigation Management Program in Lethbridge. He always spoke fondly of his friends and co-workers and was grateful for the memories that each one of you gave him.
