April 14, 1950-July 20, 2018
It is with broken hearts we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Husband, Dad and Papa, Alfred Dancho at his farm on Friday, July 20, 2018 at the age of 68.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Trudi of 44 years, his children Jeff (Katherine) and their children Levi, Jase, and baby girl on the way; Heidi (David) and their daughter Eva; and Tiffany (Alvin). He is also survived by his sisters Shirley (Mike), Susan (Wayne), Sylvia (Bill, deceased), brother Garry (Sheila); mother in-law Erna Jung (children Margarete and Rudi), as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was predeceased by his parents Marguerite and Frank Dancho and father in-law Reinhold Jung.
Alfred was born in Selkirk, MB and was raised on the family farm. He fell in love with Trudi and the couple worked tirelessly to start their own farm in 1972, a mile away from the homestead. They married in 1974 and raised their three children with the values of a hard work ethic, integrity and kindness.
Along with farming, he established a grain cleaning plant at the farm which he ran for many years.
His loves included Trudi’s baking (cinnamon buns), Arctic Cat snowmobiles, boating, quadding and Allis Chalmers. But above all, his ultimate passion was his grandchildren which he showered with love.
A special thank you to the Beausejour RCMP for the kindness they showed Trudi, as well as the EMS who were in attendance.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, July 28 at 11:00 a.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Avenue E., Beausejour.
In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to Children’s Hospital Foundation (Variety Heart Centre), FE241-685 William Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0Z2.

Alfred was a helpful neighbour and a model of the best of country values. He went to a lot of trouble to pull my tractor out when it got stuck. Always had a smile and laught. We will miss him very much.
David & Maria Leiman
We are thinking of you, Trudy and family during this time of sorrow. We have some great memories of snowmobiling thru the sand hills, the rides on the combine Alfred gave our kids when we were in Manitoba and his friendship. Alfred will be missed but never forgotten by everyone who knew him and by all whose life he touched.

So sad for the loss of a truly great guy. I met Alfred many years ago at our Allis Chalmers dealership in Hoople, ND. Alfred stopped here many times when he was on his way to the annual National Allis Chalmers show in Hutchinson MN. That show started today and we were anticipating his visit any minute. I have one of his Allis D10 tractors as a tribute to a Great friend. He will be missed by all the lives he touched.

We are sorry to hear of Alfred’s passing. We were unable to attend the service because we were away. We thought of you and Alfred when we toured the Ertyl toy museum in Iowa as we remembered you telling us about it.
