MAY TADMAN TALLMAN (nee MINDESS)

On June 10, 2024, the world lost a loving mother, grandmother and friend when May Tadman Tallman peacefully passed away at her home in her sleep, three days shy of her 100th birthday. In her final days May was surrounded by family members, Michael, Candis, Julia and Joshimar Tadman, Rebecca (Rebbie) and Alan Schacter and Bob and Cathy Tallman.

May was born on June 13, 1924, and grew up in the North End of Winnipeg. Her life changed when she attended a dance at Winnipeg Beach and a young man, Alexander B. Tadman (Alex), came up to her and asked if she would be his steady. On April 7, 1944, she and Alex (who later became a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants) were married. They raised two children, Michael and Roberta, and spent 51 very happy years together. During that time May did volunteer work with the Girl Guides of Canada, volunteered at various Winnipeg hospitals, was active in the bridge community and became president of the Chartered Accountants’ Wives Club of Manitoba. Alex died in 1995 while he and May were wintering in Palm Springs. May subsequently married a kind and loving gentleman, Daniel (Danny) Tallman in 1999. May was lovingly welcomed into the Tallman family and she and Danny spent 13 wonderful years together until his passing in 2012.

May enjoyed socializing at the Glendale Golf Club; she loved travelling and spent many of those long, cold Winnipeg winters in Palm Springs with Alex and then Florida with Danny. She travelled to Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Caymen Islands and enjoyed various cruises with her family. May was an avid bridge player and throughout the years belonged to many bridge groups and stopped playing only when prevented by her failing eyes and arthritic hands. She enjoyed shopping, entertaining and spending time with family and friends. May planned her meals like a chess master, always several meals ahead.

May was devoted to her family; nothing was more important to her. Their well-being and happiness came first and foremost to her.

May very much looked forward to and enjoyed family gatherings with her niece Rebbie (Alan) Schacter and their children and great-grandchildren. May always appreciated the welcoming and love the Schacter family extended to her. May also looked forward to and always enjoyed her lunch dates with her nephew Marty Tadman.

May retained her sense of humour, quick wit, warmth, charm and memory right to the end. Despite her physical pain and limitations, she didn’t complain and considered herself fortunate to be able to live in her own home and have the care that she received from Marian, Clem and Cora.

May was predeceased by her parents, Morris and Rebecca Mindess; brothers and sisters-in-law, Bill and Mary Mindess and Harry and Diana Mindess; her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Jack and Sooky Tadman and Bill and Anne Tadman; brothers-in-law, Harvey Tallman and Erwin Tallman; husbands, Alexander Tadman and Danny Tallman; daughter Roberta Chochinov and son Martin Tallman.

May is survived by her son Michael (Candis) Tadman, Gloria Tallman (whom May considered a daughter), son-in-law Ronald Chochinov, grandchildren, Julia (Joshimar) Tadman, Jennifer Chochinov, Carrie (Andy) Sundberg, Krissy Goodhand and Alexander Tallman. May leaves behind three great-grandchildren, Alexander and Bailey Sundberg and Morgan Tallman.

May was loved by her family and friends and will be greatly missed.

RUBEN HELMAN

June 6, 1932 – October 22, 2026

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Ruben Helman. Surrounded by his family, he passed away peacefully on October 22, 2026, at the age of 94.

Known throughout Winnipeg and around the world simply as “Uncle Rube,” he was the first person people turned to whenever they needed a favour, some help, or just heartfelt advice. Rube was a real people person. He could (and would) make friends with anyone, everywhere he went.

His memory will live on through his wife of 69 years, Rita; his children Mark (Christine), Carla (Michael), and Elaine; his beloved grandchildren Alex, Jane, Miles, Rachael and Zach (Isabelle). He was predeceased by his loving parents Abe and Sarah; sister Paula, and brother-in-law Bill Worb.

Born in Winnipeg, Rube attended Aberdeen and St. John’s High School. After school he started driving the open prairie roads for the Winnipeg Film Exchange and continued travelling for many other companies, including Elgin Watch and Longines. Always looking for new opportunities, he became a distributor for Charles M. Schultz, as well as opening his own companies, L&R Enterprises, R. Helman Ltd., Rumark Video Inc., World Gym and Premier Fitness. Throughout his ventures, his wife Rita was always by his side and his son Mark, and daughter Elaine, also enjoyed the privilege of working together with them.

Rube was always involved in the community through various service organizations, coaching baseball, and as a member of the Chevra Mishnayes and Winnipeg Beach synagogues. He was also a championship bowler, ukulele player and enjoyed singing barbershop whenever he got the chance. He was a guy who loved life and knew how to have fun, and everyone was welcome at “Helmans Hilton” at Winnipeg Beach each summer. There was never a dull moment.

The family also wishes to send a special thank you for all the care given at St. Boniface and Grace Hospitals, as well as the Home Care Workers and staff at River Ridge 1 who took care of him during the last year.

If so desired, Memorial Donations may be made in Rube’s name to the charity of your choice.

MICHAEL STERN

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Michael Stern on October 16, 2026 in Toronto.
He was born on October 31, 1949 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to Sam and Esther Stern. He grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba before moving to Vancouver, British Columbia and then to Toronto, Ontario.
Michael worked as a leading professional in the home security industry for over 25 years. He pioneered the development of new and innovative products for the companies he worked for.
He also served as a mentor and trainer for people at those companies where his deep knowledge of industry was invaluable in helping orient them in their roles. His leadership helped extend his organizations’ growth across Canada.
Michael was a loving brother to Andrea and Karen Stern and their spouses Isaac Singer and John Michaels. He will be remembered for his sense of humor and playful nature; as a devoted uncle, great uncle and cousin he brought joy to all those who had the privilege of being part of his extended family.
Michael dedicated his life to service to others. For over 10 years he was a Volunteer Coordinator for Huron Carol Food Bank Benefit Concerts which raised over $300,000 for Vancouver and Surrey Food Banks. As a volunteer Big Brother with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Canada and a Head Coach for Little League Baseball, he extended his love to children in need outside of his family.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in Michael’s memory be made to Cancer Care Manitoba Foundation.
