It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Harvey Appelle, peacefully surrounded with his family, on August 15, 2026, at the age of 86.

Harvey was a cherished, loving and devoted husband, a proud father, an adoring Zaida, and loyal friend. His gentle spirit, generous and kind heart, quiet wisdom, and wonderful sense of humour made everyone around him feel welcome and loved.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife and life partner of 64 years, Faye; his children, Beverley, Rochelle (Martin), and Sheldon (Lorey); his beloved grandchildren, Daniel, Mikaela, Shane and Shawn; and brother, Morry (Christine). He was predeceased by his parents, Bella, Samuel and Pere; and his brother Gerry.

Harvey was born in Winnipeg, on May 8, 1940, to Bella and Samuel Appelle. He grew up in the North End, attended Luxton School and later St. John’s High School. Harvey worked in the lumber and building industries; drafted residential and commercial buildings; and later retired from Sears.

He met the love of his life, Faye Globerman, in 1961 and they married a year later. Together they raised three children.

Harvey was an avid golfer, curler, and bowler, and a dedicated season ticket holder for the Bombers for many years.

He dedicated his life to his family and later he was a dedicated volunteer, giving back to his community by generously giving his time to many organizations, including the Jewish Child and Family Services, WRHA, and events including the 1999 Pan Am Games, and multiple Grey Cups. He also donated blood to the Red Cross for many years.

Harvey will be fondly remembered for his love of family and friends, and for the respect and affection he earned from all who knew him. He was the true definition of a “mensch”.

Those wishing to honour Harvey’s memory may donate to the Jewish Child and Family Services or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of MB.

We are heartbroken and forever grateful for the love and legacy he leaves behind. We will miss him beyond words, love him always, and carry his memory with us forever.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend, Belle Burke, who passed away peacefully after recently celebrating her 100th birthday. Belle lived a remarkable century filled with love, family, friendship, and many wonderful memories. She was a devoted wife to her husband, Matt, and a loving mother to Robert (Marilyn) and Lori (Barry).
Belle was a proud grandmother to Jessica (Daniel), Charles, Shaun (Nicole), Michael (Kristen), and Jay (Sara), and a cherished great-grandmother to Layla, Jake, Bree, Bo, Madeleine, Remy, Devon, Ellis, Wade, and Tessa. Her family was the greatest source of joy and pride throughout her life.
In her early years, Belle attended both Aberdeen and St. John’s High Schools. She was known for her amazing baking, and her delicious creations that were enjoyed by family and friends alike. She also loved playing Bridge and Mahjong, enjoying both the games and, perhaps most importantly, the friendships and laughter that came with them. Belle spent much of her life in Winnipeg before moving to Toronto in 2014. Wherever she lived, she had a special ability to make lasting friendships and touch the lives of those around her. She was warm, caring, and genuinely interested in the people she met, creating friendships that endured through the years.
Belle was predeceased by her parents, Sam and Sarah Fradkin, her brother Aaron, and her beloved husband Matt.
Her memory will live on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and the many friends whose lives she touched.
One hundred years of life, love, laughter, family, and friendship — a truly remarkable legacy.
The family would like to extend a very special and heartfelt thank you to Hervie, Belle’s amazing caregiver, who cared for her with extraordinary kindness, compassion, patience, and dedication.
Belle will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
