It is with great sadness that the family of Wilfred Arthur Belluz announces his passing on January 13, 2025, at the Health Science Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the age of 72. Wilf was born on August 7, 1952, in Fort Frances, Ont., to Eden (Red) and Melba where he lived his whole life.
He is survived by his mother Melba; his wife Lynn (Sus); daughters Jennifer (Clay) Cain and Melissa (Jamie) Busch; grandchildren Ashley, Elizabeth (Camelo), Mackenzie, Madalynn (Amanda), Cameron, Carley (Maxwell) and Jonathan (Marie-Neige). He is also survived by his great-grandchildren Ava, Keirra, Edric and Ricard; brothers Roy (Gael), Edward (Sheri) and Danilo (Kirsten); in-laws Cathy (Jim) Mallory, John (Monica) Sus and Bonny (Brian) Mueller. He will also be greatly missed by numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. He was predeceased by his father, Eden (Red) Belluz; his brother Paul; and inlaws Fred and Jane Sus.
Wilf worked for over 35 years in the mill as a scheduler, as well as preparing income taxes for several people over many years. His passion was curling and being the treasurer of the club. Throughout the years Wilf also loved spending time watching his granddaughter and nieces curl and his grandson play hockey. He was an avid Vikings and Blue Bombers fan and loved spending Sunday’s kicking his wife out of the living room to watch the games. He will be greatly missed by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
A celebration of Wilf’s life will be held at the Fort Frances Curling Club on Saturday, January 25, 2025, from 12:00 – 3:00 p.m. The family gratefully requests that in memoriam donations be made to Curl Fort Frances Community Center.
