<div itemprop="description">Alec Kubicek, peacefully on Jan 10, 2017. He is survived by his son Stan and his two beloved grandsons, J.J. and Mitch. <br> <br>Alec’s long and incredible life began in a small village in The Czech republic. His upbringing and education took him literally around the world. First,his escape to Western Europe, then his immigration to Australia where he met Marta, his wife, and the true love of his life. From there it was Vancouver, Canada and ultimately Winnipeg, where he became a senior market analyst for the Canadian Wheat Board. His work and travels for the CWB were not only fascinating by nature, but he was instrumental in shaping many aspects of Canada’s international grain trade at the time. All of his colleagues had a deep respect for his knowledge and of course his “style”. He spoke seven languages, he played several musical instruments and perhaps, most importantly, he was a devoted husband and father. A rare and true “gentleman”. There are not many that we can refer to as being great……but Alec Kubicek WAS a great man! <br> <br>Rest in peace Looch. We had an unbelievable run.</div>
