It is with saddened hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved father, brother, uncle, grandfather and great-grandfather Robert "Bob" Edward Shumilak, aged 80. Robert was predeceased by his wife Sharon, his parents Paul and Nettie Shumilak, his sister Doreen, niece Tanya, and family cat Muffin. He is survived by his 3 children, Lana (Terry), Debra (Eddy) and Kevin. Step children Robbie and Ange. His grandchildren, Ashley (Nick), Alexis, Amber, Trevor (Emily), Robert. Great-grandchildren Ayden and Tommy. Grandcats Cheeto, Peanut and Sadee. His sister Diane (Les), brothers Paul (Susie) and Jim. Niece, Tina (Ray) along with many other nieces, nephew's and grandchildrenDad was born in Selkirk on April 23,1944. He spent most of his childhood life in Garson, Manitoba where he lived and worked on the family farm for many years before meeting the love of his life, our mom.Dad met mom in Beausejour. Shortly after meeting Sharon (Susie), they got married at Saint Mary's Cathedral On December 27, 1969.They purchased a home and relocated to Winnipeg to raise their children. With raising a family, dad still managed to find time after work to help out with farming which led to many late nights. Dad was an avid camper, he purchased a travel trailer and toured Canada with his family. Later on, he upgraded to a motor home and toured the United States. This is when dad made our dreams come true and took us to Disneyland California, with many scenic stops along the way. Dad would take us camping every single summer where we relaxed and enjoyed quality time together. This was an annual family tradition. Mom and dad had 35 years of a beautiful marriage before her passing in 2005. Dad worked for over 40 years at Amsco cast products of which 30 years of that he was a Foreman before retiring in 2006.Dad was a very hard working man, and he was gifted with carpenter skills that he used to do side projects around his cabin. If someone was doing a project of their own, dad would sure be there watching, helping and giving great advice. He always made time to talk and have coffee. In 2005, Lana, Terry, Ashley, Alexis, and Dad went on a family snowmobiling trip to Bear Country Cabins, it was at that moment where dad got the idea to build a near identical cabin on his property in Garson, Manitoba. Before he could procrastinate, Terry put it in motion and the excavation began and this is where he happily retired for the remaining years of his life. He named his cabin "Limestone Hill" and inscripted it on a chunk of limestone that was dug out during construction of his cabin. Terry and dad (Boss) had an impeccable relationship, he was very fond of his son-in-law. Over the years they strengthened their bond by creating memories at Boss's cabin developing his property, creating new projects and maintaining Limestone Hill on a regular basis. It was a friendship like no other that will be sadly missed. Dad was a simple man, he never felt the need to buy anything new unless it was absolutely necessary. He always told us, "Do you want it or do you need it?" He would never waste any food, his favorite thing he would say was "pack it up and I'll take it home" nothing went to waste when dad was around. He loved cats, they held a special place in his heart. He enjoyed beautiful summer days at his cabin where he would maintain a very large garden, cut his grass, and was amused by watching his hummingbirds on his deck while enjoying a nice warm beer. He started up a hobby with his grandson Nick where they would make craft beer together, this went on for many years. Another one of his lifetime hobbies included playing his guitar, which he self taught. Dad loved Johnny Cash, this was his all time favorite country singer. Every chance he got he would listen to him, tap his fingers to the beat, hummm along to the lyrics and strum along when he was playing his guitar. He loved watching "The Simpsons" Tv show, his favorite character was Homer Simpson. Also "The Andy Griffith show", his favorite actor was Barney Fife played by Don Knotts. Dad adored his grandchildren, they were a very important part of his life. They had a special bond that is everlasting. He would always be excited to attend any sporting games that they were playing, and also enjoyed many vacations with them. He cherished the role of "Pops". Dad admired his family, he would make a point to tell them he loved them and appreciated them as often as possible. There was no time frame with dad. If you needed him, he was there. You could always count on him to answer his phone each and every time. He was a very helpful man which made a huge impact in everyone's life. He adored his children, and spent a lot of time with them.Dad. Your smile, laugh, radiant energy and your humor brought so much love into our hearts. Someone like you only happens once in a life time. We are beyond grateful for the love and strength you and mom have given our family. Dad, you are the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are. May you rest in peace. Prayers will be said on May 27, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. in the Gilbart Funeral Home, located at 309 Eveline St, Selkirk, Manitoba. Celebration of life service will be held in Robert's honor on May 28, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart Of Jesus, 18 Pine Ave Garson, Manitoba.

Remembering Brian MulroneyFormer Prime Minister the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, P.C., C.C., G.O.Q., passed away surrounded by his family on February 29, 2024. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Mila; his four children and sixteen grandchildren, Caroline and her husband Andrew Lapham (Lewis, Pierce, Theodora, Miranda), Ben and his wife Jessica (Brian, John, Isabel), Mark and his wife Vanessa (Maximilian, Dylan, Ronan, Mila, Axel), Nicolas and his wife Katy (Victoria, Serena, Grayson, Lily); along with countless friends and a country grateful for his lifetime of service.Brian Mulroney was first and foremost a family man. He adored his wife and life partner, took great pride in the successes of his children, and cherished his latest role of "Papa." Never more than a phone call away, he checked in on the eve of a big game or after a tough day, and delighted in celebrating joyful moments with the entire family.Born into a working class family, Mr. Mulroney grew up on Quebec's North Shore in the papermill town of Baie-Comeau. Blessed with a strong work ethic, Mr. Mulroney rose to the highest echelons of Montréal's legal and business communities in the 1970s, becoming the CEO of a major corporation before the age of 40. Active from a young age in the political life of his province and his country, he forged lifelong friendships that crossed party lines, ideologies and strongly held views on la question nationale. Not satisfied to remain on the sidelines as his country faced evermore complex challenges, these friendships and his deep desire to help shape a modern Canada led him to enter public life and seek national office.Mr. Mulroney led the Progressive Conservative Party to the largest electoral victory in Canadian history, becoming Canada's eighteenth prime minister in 1984. He was re-elected with a majority government four years later, thereby becoming the first Canadian prime minister in 35 years to win successive majorities and only the second Conservative prime minister to do so since Confederation. Mr. Mulroney's government had the grand vision and courage to tackle major reforms to the Canadian economy, to our role in the world, and to our very conception of Canada as a country.Initiatives such as the Canada–U.S. Free Trade Agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and historic tax reform through the GST were transformative. His government introduced a wave of privatizations of Crown corporations, instituted a low inflation policy, extensive deregulation, and expenditure reduction. These necessary policies continue to be the foundation for Canada's economy and prosperity today.His personal relationships with world leaders and his exceptional skills as a negotiator and consensus builder allowed Canada to shape global events in ways unmatched before or since. In its earliest days, Mr. Mulroney's government played a leading role in the response to the 1984 Ethiopian Famine. Most notably, he led the campaign against apartheid in South Africa and the liberation of Nelson Mandela. And he ensured Canada took its rightful place as a leader of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF). In 2006, in recognition of far-reaching initiatives such as the Canada–US Acid Rain Treaty and the Montréal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, he was chosen as Canada's Greenest Prime Minister in history. Brian Mulroney believed in a strong Quebec within a united Canada. His constitutional reforms—the Meech Lake (1987) and Charlottetown (1992) Accords—articulated a modern vision of Canada that recognized the unique character of Quebec society, celebrated the country's linguistic duality, better protected minority language rights, promoted the diversity and strength of its regions, and acknowledged the need for reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.Throughout his time in politics, Mr. Mulroney cared deeply for the people he worked with and the people he served. He loved his caucus, admired their commitment and deeply respected their sacrifice. Their preoccupations became his priorities. He was singularly focused on favouring that which would improve the lives of Canadians in ten years, and not what would improve his party's fortunes in ten days.Mr. Mulroney received Canada's highest honour, the Companion of the Order of Canada, (1998) and the highest honour of the Government of Québec, Grand officier de l'Ordre national du Québec (2002). He also received the highest recognition that can be bestowed by the following nations: Haiti – Grand-Croix de l'Ordre national Honneur et Mérite (1994), Ukraine – Order of Kniaz (King) Yaroslav the Wise, First Class (2007), Japan – Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun (2011), South Africa – Supreme Companion of O.R. Tambo (Gold) (2015), and France – Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur (2016).Upon retiring from public life in 1993, Mr. Mulroney rejoined the Montréal law firm of Norton Rose Fulbright as a Senior Partner. At the time of his death, Mr. Mulroney was Chairman of the Board of Directors of Québecor Inc. (Montréal) and served as a director of The Blackstone Group L.P. (New York). He also served as Chairman of the International Advisory Board of Barrick Gold Corporation (Toronto). and was a Trustee of the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation and the International Advisory Board of HEC Montréal.Brian Mulroney will be remembered as a distinguished statesman who had the courage to articulate a clear vision for the country he led and the determination to see it through. He was a trusted and loyal friend, respectful of and respected by his political adversaries, someone who always had time to lend an ear or share a wise word. But most importantly to him, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather who would move mountains to ensure the well-being and happiness of his loved ones.He was 84 years old.In lieu of flowers, the family requests those who wish to express sympathy consider making a donation to the Brian Mulroney Institute of Government at St. Francis Xavier University or to the Université Laval's Carrefour international Brian-Mulroney.Canadians are invited to visit the Government of Canada's commemorative webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/commemoration/brian-mulroney.html) to learn more about the state funeral events that will be held from March 19 to 23, 2024, in Ottawa and Montréal. Messages may also be shared in the online book of condolences (https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/commemoration/brian-mulroney/book.html).

EARLE, SoniaSonia passed away shortly after celebrating her 93rd birthday at The Meaford Hospital on Wednesday, February 21, 2024. She is survived by her three children, Melanie Earle, Shauna Earle and Gregory Earle. During her life she worked in Winnipeg and Toronto as a social worker as well as being mother to her three children, Melanie, Shauna and Greg, and wife to her husband Frazer Earle. Sonia met Frazer at the University of Manitoba while studying social work. They married and went on to pursue their respective careers, as well as raising a family of three. Besides a busy career Sonia played mandolin in the Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra. She also was an avid gardener, something she pursued when she retired and moved to Guelph, Ontario. She was an enthusiastic volunteer with the Guelph Arboretum. After her husband passed away, she moved to Meaford where she has been living for the last 15 years. Sonia was inspired by the beauty of the Georgian Bay landscape and took up watercolour painting. She shared her painting interests with the Meaford painting group at the Meaford Hall. Perhaps the happiest times of her life was when she got her first of two Golden Retrievers- many people will remember mom walking Kira or Niko around town and on the trails. Sonia's joy of life, positive outlook and determined spirit will be greatly missed by all. Family will receive friends for visitation on Friday, March 1, 2 until 4 p.m. at the Ferguson Funeral Home in Meaford.

One of George's first jobs was starting the fire in the morning at the school house before the teacher or other students arrived. George then roomed and boarded with various families in Avonlea, SK. to obtain his Grades 10, 11 and 12. George graduated high school in about 1949. When George was 19 years old he rented his uncle's farm and continued farming with his father. He purchased 3 purebred Herford heifers, but his herd was eventually wiped out with Hoof and Mouth Disease. George worked at the Weyburn Mental Hospital before he married. When George and Helen married in 1954, they remained at George's uncle's where they raised chickens, and sold the eggs to the local store in Avonlea, SK. Their flock of chickens was wiped out by disease. George and Helen moved to Regina, SK. where George worked at The Co-op Refinery. The shift work at the refinery was extremely difficult for George and his young family, so he switched jobs and was hired at Canadian Linen Supply as Chief Engineer and was later promoted to Production Manager. George obtained his 2nd Class Power Engineering Certificate in 1959, where he completed his higher physics with a slide rule. After many years of working at Canadian Linen, he again switched jobs and worked for McGavins Foods in Regina, SK. as the Maintenance Manager. McGavins shut down in Regina, SK and George was transferred to Winnipeg, MB in 1986.George enjoyed family trips to the lake for fishing and waterskiing and many trips to the mountains for downhill skiing. George may have launched the boat a time or two and set it adrift in the river or the lake. It may have been dark and the boat almost out of gas but George always got his family home safely. George may not have been the best Captain but he was the family's Captain. Georgehad always wanted to play the fiddle, so when he was in his 70's he started to take fiddle lessons and became quite a good fiddle player. He liked to play waltzes, jigs and polkas. George and Helen liked to travel and took well deserved vacations to Mexico, Europe, most of Canada and the American states including Hawaii, Texas, Nevada and Alaska. George and Helen's last trip together was a much-enjoyed trip to Churchill, MB to see the polar bears. After Helen passed, George travelled to Costa Rica with his daughter Linda and son Doug. George took a Caribbean cruise with his good friends Rene and Marguerite. George also travelled solo, sailing down the Danube from Budapest to Bucharest. George enjoyed golfing and reading both fiction and history about the old west. George enjoyed bridge and was a member of various community bridge clubs in Winnipeg. George was a skilled wood craftsman and made his family many pieces of furniture, including roll top desks, cedar chests, coffee and end tables, guitar stands and spice racks.George had a great wit and loved to laugh. Anyone that knew him has shared a joke or a laugh or two or three. The family hopes you are "farting through silk" and that all of your projects don't "work like the windshield wipers on a duck's arse."George was patient, kind and generous. He was the best father, grandfather and great grandfather. He will be dearly missed by all.The family would like to thank Cathedrale Manor, the Palliative Care Team and the Palliative Care Unit at St. Boniface Hospital as well as all the Home Care Aides, especially Hanna and Sadat.As per George's wishes there will not be a Celebration of Life service. In lieu of flowers George has requested that you make a donation to any Humane Society, The Canadian Wildlife Federation or Ducks Unlimited.Glen Lawn Funeral Home204-982-7550Tribute Link: www.glenlawn.ca.

Although she did not appear to initially care for him, he quickly danced his way into her heart, with a little help from Selena. Since then, it has always been "Jen and Carlos." A team through thick and thin, supporting each other through highs and lows, losses and wins. Carlos stayed true to his word, "In sickness and in health, till death do them part."Jen was an incredible mother. Her children were her pride and joy. She took any chance she could to talk about her children and perhaps even brag a little. She put up a courageous fight for as long as she could, always showing humility and putting others before herself. Throughout her illness, Jen lived for her children, family, extended family, and friends. Jen's commitment to those she loved and the strength she exhibited to care for others was beyond reproach. Jen embodied the true meaning of what unconditional love, resilience and perseverance looked like.Jen's generosity and kindness will forever live on through her children, family, friends, coworkers, and all those met at the many ceremonies and lodges she attended. Jen loved life and everything it offered. Her beautiful smile could light up a room. Her mischief and laughter will forever be remembered.

PEKARCHUK, Anthony April 29, 1919 - November 6, 2005PEKARCHUK, Emily LoraJune 21, 1922 - December 13, 2019RETURNING Home TogetherEmily, affectionately known as "Jo" or "Joey", left her beloved family and friends to join her husband and the choir of angels in heaven on December 13, 2019. Emily was born in Norman, Ontario, Canada, on June 21, 1922, to Michael and Florence Harrington of Kenora. Emily had no real memories of her mother, as she was only 18 months old when her mother passed away. But that didn't deny Emily from living a lifetime full of love and laughter.Emily had two brothers and three sisters. The siblings all had nicknames and Emily was given the nickname Joey; as she told us, it was because she could put her whole fist in her mouth just like Joe E. Brown, a well-known comedian of the day. She made it to the eighth grade before she decided to leave school. Her dad told her if she didn't go to school, then she would need to get a job. That was the start of Joey's lifetime variety of work experiences. Starting with being a babysitter to owning a business. During WWII, Emily joined the CWAC, Canadian Women's Army Corp, and became a drafting clerk while stationed in Washington, D.C. She liked to say that allowed her to claim she travelled internationally during the war. Emily wasn't the only family member to join, as both her two brothers and two brothers-in-law also served in various regiments during the war. As her lifetime went on, she became a full-time nanny, a hairdresser, a manager at three different Drive in Theatres, a lawn mower production crewmember, and eventually opened and owned two Ma & Pa grocery stores for the better part of twenty-seven years located in Grants Pass, Oregon.When Emily returned to Kenora from Washington DC, she met Anthony Pekarchuk, also known as Tony or "Peck", who she married on April 22, 1946 at St. Alban's Cathedral in Kenora. Anthony was born in Kenora to William and Mary Pekarchuk. He was the oldest of four children, which included John, Julie, and Mike. Anthony attended Kenora High School and was a member of the 1937 Manitoba Champion Rugby Team. He as well as his brother's John and Mike also served during WWII. Anthony joined in 1939 as a gunner in the 37th Field Battery RCA. Together they had two daughters, Beverly A. and Susan C. "They never let their feet get stuck in the mud" as they moved continuously, looking for new adventures and new friends. Over their life time, they moved from Kenora to Thunder Bay, to Winnipeg, to Hamilton (all in Canada). They then moved to Lynwood, California, and later in life moved to Grants Pass, Oregon and finally ending up in Wilsonville, Oregon where they both were residing prior to their passing. Each move brought them many new friends, happy times and lots of memories. Her whole life, Emily felt "you didn't wait for someone to give you anything, you had to go after it yourself". She loved people and people loved her. She and Tony never missed any special occasion that arose. No matter how far they had to travel they attended weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, graduations, including their two granddaughter's school events. Emily believed in the church and the prayer she believed in most and lived by was, Luke 6:31 "Do onto others, as you would have them do onto you". She lived her entire life loving and caring for others; giving and helping where ever she could. Emily was predeceased by her husband, Anthony who passed away in 2005. As well as her mother and father, Florence and Michael Harrington. Her mother and father in-law, Mary and William Pekarchuk. Her brothers' Wallace (Red), his wife Alyce, and her brother Arthur (Curly) and sisters' Agnes (Peggy), her husband Fred, Irene (Honey), her husband Ralph, and Bernice (Boots), and her husbands' Sam and Alec. Also, her brother and sister in laws John and Theresa Pekarchuk, Mike and Rose Pekarchuk, and Julie and Elmer Cederwall. Passing away at 97 years of age, Emily was the last of her family generation. She was also predeceased by her son in laws Wayne LaJoie, Larry Bradley, and Francis (Bud) Sherman. Emily is survived by her two daughters, Beverly LaJoie-Sherman of Senoia, Georgia and Susan Bradley of Livermore, California. Two granddaughters, Laura LaJoie-Bishop (husband Mike) and Tammy Sue Bradley, both of Wilsonville Oregon. And, three great-grandchildren, Micah, Sierra and Emilia Bishop.From Emily: "If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. Only then would you know how very special you are".The family intends to hold a church service at St Albans, then plans to lay the ashes of both Tony and Joey to rest in the family plot at Lake of the Woods Cemetery in Kenora (the community they both called home) with a service by the Royal Canadian Legion. A group of third generation family members are planning a Celebration of Life Party at that time.

SPENCE, Maureen Jill February 28th, 1960 - September 22nd, 2021All who knew Maury would agree that she was a local legend, the mold was broken when she entered this world. Her charisma, signature walk and award winning smile endeared us all. Maury was born and lived her life in Selkirk, MB. Always surrounded by family and friends, her younger years were full of fun. Tag football on her front lawn, skating on Little Lake Pond or arguing over golf scores on the links. Later she was drawn to baseball with her Weekenders team and Mushka with the gang. She may have attended a few beer garden festivities at some of these baseball tournaments. Another lure for her was Lockport, lucky enough it was where she met her life partner Craig.After a stint at Success Business College she became a success! A newspaper gal, like her dad. Where she made even more friends. A monumental year for her was in 1993, the year her daughter Randi was born. Suffice to say her love for her girl was fierce. Maury should have probably made it to Broadway, instead she entertained us all with her singing, dancing, joking and that infectious laugh. American Pie was her signature song. Luckily for us she did have the chance to make us people dance, and made us happy for awhile. We will always carry your memory in our hearts. When you get to heaven Maury - raise a little hell! Sadly missed and cherished by her life partner Craig, her daughter Randi, her mother Noreen, brothers Randy (Lindsay) and Rod (Joanne), her neices and nephews and many family and friends. Maureen was predeceased by her father Dudley.A graveside service will be held at St Clements Anglican Church on Saturday October 9th at 2pm. Following, friends and family can join to raise a glass at the Army & Navy at 231 Clandeboye Ave, Selkirk.

PERTSON, Frederick FrankFred was born Thursday, March 19, 1936 and peacefully transitioned to the spirit world Friday, May 7, 2021 at the age of 85 at his home in beautiful Fisher Bay. He was surrounded by so much love at the time of his passing. As Fred said a few days before he passed as he looked toward the window of the house, facing Lake Winnipeg, "I've lived a good life and I have everything I need right here."Fred was born and raised in Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba. He was predeceased by his parents, William and Lena Pertson, and sister Elizabeth Pertson. Fred is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Anne, son Travis (Nancy), daughter Penny, brothers William John (Sharon, deceased) and Paul William (Diane, deceased), sisters Gloria Mae (Earl) and Sandra Anne (Taras, deceased), step-children Fiona (Mike), Fraser (Helen), and Sheena (Paul), and his extended family, including nieces, nephews, and grandchildren, along with many friends who will miss him so much.Fred retired in 1991 after 26 years with Manitoba Highways, plus a 5-year stint with Manitoba Hydro in the middle. He loved both jobs, mainly because he was able to work outdoors, where he felt at his best. At one point in his early days, he also worked for the Liquor Control Commission in Winnipeg Beach; Fred said he liked the job because he got to meet people, but he just couldn't handle working inside all the time. His career started when he was 15, delivering milk door-to-door with his father; he confessed with a chuckle later in life, that he often helped out by driving the company truck, albeit without a driver's license.When he was 55, he met the woman he would spend the rest of his life with. "We have so much in common you wouldn't believe it," he happily said, saying she was the love of his life. It was obvious to anyone that he felt like a lucky man. In the early '90s, Mary Anne and Fred found a few heavenly acres on the shores of Lake Winnipeg to call home, got married in their living room, and spent 30 happy years in what he called paradise.Fred deeply appreciated his wife's Cree culture and heritage and was very proud to be honoured with a spirit name many years ago: Thotin ka-waseskwan-otat (English translation: "Wind that clears the sky"). According to his wishes, he transitioned to the spirit world dressed in his ribbon shirt, jeans, a pair of favourite moccasins, and wrapped in a star blanket made by Mary Anne.Fred loved classic western movies, old-time country music, and good times sitting around an outdoor fire, singing tunes and telling stories with friends and family. He loved working around the property and any excuse to hop on his snowmobile, ATV or ride-on lawn mower. As recently as the fall of 2020, he was cutting and splitting wood in preparation for the coming winter. He was even laying traps in January 2021, before his illness took hold.Those who knew Fred knew he loved the outdoors more than anything—being outside doing something was his happy place. Both he and Mary Anne loved to fish, hunt, and trap together. Scouring the thrift stores and yard sales for great deals was also right up there on the list of things Fred loved to do.Cremation has taken place. At Fred's request, there will be no funeral. A private celebration of his life will occur at a later date.Special thanks to: Dr. Kathryn Menzies and the staff at Percy E. Moore Hospital in Hodgson, MB for their support and care over the past few months as he managed through the late stages of prostate cancer. As well, Mary Anne extends her gratitude to the many family and friends who delivered food and care supplies, and those who called and prayed for Fred. It meant so much to them both."I never realized I had such good friends…so many people who care about me," he said. "Love is all that matters, right?" Yes, Fred. It is.

In Loving memory ofKevin KennedyBlue Thunder EagleWe still can't believe it's been one year that you were taken from us. We miss you more than anyone will ever know. We miss your laugh, jokes, and your ability to light a room no matter what the mood was. We will hold all the things you taught us in our hearts; how to love, how to care for one another, how to be grateful for the little things in life, to always know that someone above is watching over us and will take care of us in our times of need. There's not a day that goes by that we don't think of you. Nobody will ever know the void we feel in our lives without you. The only comfort we feel is knowing that you are watching over your babies every day, oh how much they miss you. To remember you is easy but the thought of you being gone from our lives forever is the hardest part. We love you as always, your family.

SUTTON, Art1937-2020It is with great sorrow that the family announces the death of Art Sutton following a difficult illness. Left to mourn his passing are his loving wife Judy, his beloved children, Sharon (Danny), Mike, Tanya (Dave) and Andrew (Morgan), his sister Sharon Swan (Carl), grandchildren Robin, Juliana and Thomas, nieces, Tanys and Sarah, and nephew, David. His family was his greatest joy.In 1937 Art was born to Ernest and Gwen Sutton in Campbellford, Ontario. As Ernie was transferred in his job with Ontario Hydro the family moved to Peterborough, then St. Thomas and finally settled in Belleville. For his education Art came to Winnipeg to study at St. John's College and then the U of M Faculty of Education. He began teaching in Ashern, Manitoba and went on to enjoy a long and successful career as teacher and principal in Seven Oaks School Division. Always game for a challenge, he introduced the first Ukrainian bilingual program in Seven Oaks, charted the course for programs in French immersion, and initiated Hebrew bilingual education. Children, teachers and parents alike were grateful for his kind and steady guidance. Art's parallel career was with the Canadian Army Reserve where he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and CO of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. As Cameron CO he had the opportunity to travel with fellow officers to Scotland and with Judy to England to present a petition to Prince Phillip. Following his retirement from the Reserves in 1984, Art maintained connections with his military friends, working with the Cameron Highlanders Advisory Board and Army Cadet League of Canada. He was awarded the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal in 1977 and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal in 2012. Art joined the board of the Commissionaires of Canada and then became a full Colonel when he was appointed CEO of the Commissionaires of Canada in Winnipeg in 2004, remaining in this position until 2008. This third career offered opportunities to travel to almost every Canadian province. Ever ready to volunteer his services, Art chaired the boards at his church and at Middlechurch Personal Care Home, and served on several committees in his home community. Art was a builder who always had a project going: organizing a high school timetable, planning a military exercise, renovating an old house, finishing a cottage or building a bookcase for his granddaughter. He began each project with research and thorough planning, and then set to work.Because he had an amazing memory, Art was a great storyteller and speaker, ready to share his perspective on any subject. While his knowledge base was extensive, he had an inquiring mind and enjoyed the process of discovery. He could equally embrace modern technology and genealogy, philosophy and politics, medicine and altruism. He was always teaching us: playing vocabulary games with his grandchildren, leading us to the next level.Art was gentle, polite and brave. He listened, spoke kindly and cared about others, living his life with grace and drive. The family is grateful for the expertise and kindness shown to Art at Cancer Care and at St. Boniface Hospital. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Art's memory to either of these institutions. An outdoor family celebration of Art's life is planned.

KORYLUK, Fr. Michael KarlIn the early morning of August 8th 2020 Fr. Michael Karl Koryluk said "yes" one last time, to Jesus' invitation to "come to me". He is now reunited with his parents, Anna (Amy) and Michael Sr. and many extended family members and dear friends.Father Michael was born and raised in Winnipeg. His parents came to Winnipeg from Montreal and settled on William Ave. Faith was an important value in the Koryluk home. They were actively involved in the Sacré- Couere and Holy Rosary parish communities. They also cherished their French and Polish cultures. Michael Sr. died at a young age and in the ensuing years Father Michael took very good care of his mother Amy; he was indeed the apple of his mother's eye.Father Michael was educated by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (SNJM) and Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI). He continued his post-secondary education at the University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Education and upon graduation taught for the Assiniboine South School Division for seven years. Attentive to the Holy Spirit in his life, Michael responded with a "yes" to God's invitation to the vocation of ministerial priesthood. In 1974 he began his formation at St. John XXlll, near Weston, MA, as a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Winnipeg. On April 25, 1979, he was ordained to the ministerial priesthood by Cardinal George Flahiff, CSB at Holy Rosary Church.Father Michael was a beloved pastor and cared deeply for the communities he served in and with: St. Peter's, St. Mark's, St. John Brebeuf, St. Mary's Cathedral and St. Paul's College (University of Manitoba). He embraced his gifts as an educator, and these served as guides for him in his ministry as a shepherd and teacher. He connected easily with people and his preaching wove the Gospel into daily life in relevant ways. He had a remarkable presence with young people and a special place in his heart for those who struggled or were in need.His love for music and theatre drew him to participate in numerous community events : Christmas concerts, volunteer appreciation dinners, and coffee houses. He will always be fondly remembered for his Halloween decorations and costumes which sparked delight in children of all ages.His knowledge and gift of music blessed everyone around him. Singing and playing the organ for weddings and funerals was part of his life before he entered the seminary. A highlight for Father Michael was codirecting the choir for the mass with the Holy Father, St. John Paul ll, at Bird's Hill Park in 1984.He shared his gifts and time on various committees and boards in the Archdiocese and the broader community including; the Council of Priests, the College of Consultors, the Liturgical Commission, the Archdiocesan Choir, Dean in both North and South Deaneries, Inter-Diocesan Diaconate Formation, Villa Rosa, MacDonald Youth Services, St. Paul's High School, and as a Spiritual Guide for Search for Christian Maturity. He also faithfully served the community of St. Mary's Academy.Father Michael had many childhood friends that remained dear to him throughout his life. Some of these friends are part of the coffee club that meets regularly at Grant Park Shopping Centre.It is said that blood is thicker than water and faith is thicker than blood. There are several people who became his family through faith and he loved them dearly. Through the gift of celebrating the Sacraments with them and accompanying them through joyful and difficult moments, Father Michael reflected the love of God. These bonds will be cherished forever. In addition to the many parishioners of the various parishes he served, he also leaves to mourn his loss his extended family in Ontario and Quebec.Father Michael's hearty laugh, warm presence, mischievous curiosity, and deep faith has touched the lives of many. He lived his baptismal and ministerial call to the full. Well done good and faithful servant!In the final weeks of his life, Father Michael was blessed with the extraordinary care and concern from the staff at Deer Lodge Centre, 4W, with special thanks to Dr. Jose.

In Memory ofDick BoonJune 7, 1938 – May 23, 2013Dick will always be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Frances, beloved son Robert and beloved daughter Tammy. He loved the Lord and enjoyed attending with his family a smaller church the last 5-6 years of his life and believed in doing special things for his community. At the time of his passing we were working on a neon electrical sign museum, had already had a major donation of a large neon spectacular sign from Sign Friends, and a 3 ½ acre property we had purchased December 31, 1996 in a rural municipality located on a now major Winnipeg thoroughfare within the Perimeter where it is to be located with a coffee shop beside it. It was the thrill of Dick's life. The family corporation Inter City Neon Plastic Signs and Services we co-founded – working with his wife and son 24/7 for 25 years plus daughter Tammy when available. We travelled all over Manitoba, east to Thunder Bay and simultaneously had a customer base in Winnipeg. We had memberships in Sign Association of Manitoba, Sign Association of Canada, National Elect. Sign Association, International Sign Association, NALMCO (lighting contractors), developing friends throughout North America and the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce. He enjoyed our CN friends, especially an Alaskan cruise. Unfortunately in September 2007, he had a medical emergency that extended over the rest of his life. Dick fixed the CN sign on Union Station, also the large clock at City Hall, and installation of major signs at Portage and Main as well as maintenance of them and other high rise buildings in Winnipeg, Regina and Calgary. From 1989, we travelled to the Toronto GTA area, annually in September, spending time with clients, suppliers and sign companies and colleagues. We enjoyed their friendship and support over the next 20 years and more which led us to establish a second home close to the GTA area Lakeshore. He enjoyed his sign colleagues or as he would call them his "work brothers" and son Robert became a fellow work brother. His favourite saying was "I've been everywhere" and song was "Until Then I'll Go on Singing" and loved to yodel at the top of the skyscrapers as he found working at heights very calming and peaceful. Unfortunately in September 2007, Dick had a medical emergency that affected the rest of his life. We were planning our 50th anniversary celebration the following year. He is forever loved by his family (predeceased by his much beloved mother Jenny, nee Vandorp, Boon). We worked together on special projects, some under Tambor Enterprises. A life well lived.

GADER, StevenSteven Gader, age 65, passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly on Sunday, September 15, 2019 at his brother-in-law's cottage, north of Wiarton, ON. Steven George Gader was born June 3, 1954 in Stafford, KS to Najie "Norman" & Joyce Gader. When Steven was eight, the family settled in the Vanguard, SK area where his dad farmed, then later in Swift Current, SK where Steve graduated from high school in 1972. He met his future wife, Shirley, at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK where he was studying medicine and she was studying nursing. Steve married Shirley Ruth Martin on June 7, 1975 in Saskatoon. He graduated as an M.D. from the U of S in 1978 and they moved to Campbellton, NB, where he worked as a family practitioner with Dr. Robert Buhr. Preparation began for Steve & Shirley to serve as medical missionaries with the Mennonite Brethren Mission Services in Kajiji, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo). Steve graduated with distinction from a seven-month tropical medicine course in the French language in Belgium in 1984 and they served in the Congo from 1984 – 1986. When they returned to Canada, after one more year in family practice in Campbellton, they settled in Winnipeg, MB where Steve began his obstetrics/gynecology residency, which he completed in 1991. He was certified as a specialist in Canada and the United States. During his eleven and a half years of post-secondary education, Steve & Shirley were also growing their family and raising their three children — Colin (born 1977 in Regina, SK), Andrea (born 1980 in Campbellton, NB) and Matthew (born 1982 in Campbellton, NB). Steve had a God-given passion for the unborn and the mothers who carried them, and he helped mothers who were in crisis pregnancies. While in Winnipeg, he guided a post-heart transplant mother through a successful pregnancy and delivery of a healthy baby, which is high-risk. In 1992, Steve learned how to do laparoscopic surgery in Nashville, TN and taught these techniques to other specialists back in Canada. The family moved to Topeka, KS in 1995, where Steven worked with the Topeka Ob/Gyn Associates at St. Francis and Stormont-Vail Hospitals until 2000. A man of many talents, Steve trained as a pilot when he and Shirley were first married, and learned to play the saxophone in his thirties. He took his sons on a fishing trip to Missouri in 1999. Sadly, his career as an obstetrician/gynecologist would be brought to an abrupt halt when he suffered a severe brain injury in 2000. Though an incredibly difficult time, God saw Steve & Shirley through various trials as he rehabilitated, and she had to take on many new roles and responsibilities. Steve & Shirley experienced God's grace and help through the people God brought into their lives through these challenging years. Steve had always loved to paint, starting with water colours, then began working with acrylics, with their art group in Swift Current. He still loved to travel, which he thrived on, even after his injury. Steve & Shirley loved to eat out, especially going for ice cream, and ever the gentleman, Steve enjoyed spoiling his wife and the ladies in his life with flowers. He would consider his family — his 44-year marriage with Shirley, his three children, his daughters-in-law, and his four grandchildren — his greatest accomplishment in life. Steven was a beloved husband, dad, grandpa, brother, uncle, nephew and friend who will be dearly missed by all who knew him and whose lives he touched. Steven is survived by his wife, Shirley Ruth (Martin) Gader; his children, Colin (Katherine) Gader (Tucson, AZ), Andrea Gader (Toronto, ON), and Matthew (Erica Nutt) Gader (Denver, CO); his grandchildren, Conrad Perez-Gader, Addisyn Brynn Gader, Braiden Kasai Gader, and Freya Sigourney Gader; his siblings, Debbie (Jerry) Hildebrandt, Linda (Hugh) Henry, and David Gader; his uncles and aunts, Fred Gader, Helen Willatt, Judy Osenbaugh, and Jim Smiley; and by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Steve was predeceased by his parents, Joyce (Smiley) Gader (2011) & Najie "Norman" Gader (2012); his parents-in-law, Alvin (2003) & Ruth (2015) Martin; his brother-in-law, Dan Martin (2017); his sister-in-law, Jenny Martin (2019); and by his nephew-in-law, Jeff Robinson (2014). The Memorial Service for Steve Gader was held on Saturday, October 26, 2019 at 2:00 pm from the Church of the Open Bible, Swift Current, SK with Pastor Nick Kimpinski officiating. "" and "" were sung by the congregation under the leadership of , with serving as pianist. Special music was brought by , who sang "" and "." Tributes were given by . A photo presentation was given by Steve's children and grandchildren. In memory of Steve Gader, donations made to the Saskatoon Pregnancy Options Centre would be appreciated by the family.

LAWFORD, Sharon Diana (nee Chaboyer) March 2018We were saddened and shocked at the passing of the youngest Chaboyer. Remembered as a beloved sister to Frances, beloved sister-in-law to Frances' late husband Dick Boon, beloved aunt to Robert and Tammy. We have fond memories of Dick and Sharon racing on the boulevard. At the young age of 16, her babysitting was a crucial benefit to us in a medical emergency. She was also significant when founding our business and installing capital equipment. The legacy she left behind is her two beautiful children. Sharon was a 5"1/4" natural acrobat and gymnast (featured in back page of sports section of the daily newspaper), and before Canada participated in the modern Olympic gymnastics and we remember her at competitions. Her grace during the freestyle floor competition gives meaning to the saying "A thing of beauty is joy forever".

BOON, Dickat the top of the suspension bridge over an Amazon River tributaryIt's been five long years since our hearts were broken when our most wonderful, kind and loving husband passed away. He lived both in Winnipeg and close to the Ontario lakeshore in the GTA. Dick grew up in Rosser since the age of eight and socialized in Rosser and surrounding areas for the past sixty years of his life. He went to school in Grosse isw. Ever lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Frances, beloved son Robert (co-worker on high buildings) and beloved daughter Tammy (her inspirational trek down and up the Grand Canyon embodied the family love of heights). Our home was full of love, music and laughter. To us, there are simply not enough superlatives to describe him. We four founded Inter-City Neon-Plastic Signs and Servics Inc., travelling throughout Manitoba servicing neon, lighting and electrical signs (simultaneously doing work in Winnipeg and east to Thunderbay). We appreciate your friendship and support the past 25 years of his life. At the time of Dick's passing, the four of us were planning on establishing a Neon and Electrical Sign Museum with his sign colleagues. His favourite saying was I've been everywhere, travelled each and every highway, flew in a helicopter beneath the rim of the magnificent Grand Canyon, white-water rafted in Alaska, hot-air ballooned in Albuquerque, flew the Big Bird over Carpathian Mtns to visit 3 orphans we supported, rode horseback in the Black Hills, handling both his and his 4 yr. old daughter's reins, cruised the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Adriatic and Alaska, enjoyed the night life ofParis and other major cities, attended with his family a smaller church for the past 5 years of his life. A life well lived!

MEECHES, Candice Lynn - May 6, 1974 -February 16, 2019It is with heavy hearts the family announce the passing of Candice Lynn Meeches on February 16, 2019 at the age of 44 years.

Grandma Dorothy was so proud, she doted over her constantly. Candice was precious and will always be. Surrounded by love from day one, seldom in need of wants, this love always followed her. Never a day went by when she wasn't in her family's thoughts. A band member of Long Plain Indian Reservation, MB, Candice resided in Calgary, AB. She carried herself with pride as an Anishinaabe woman. Outspoken and strong, with an uncanny wisdom within herself, she led with courage. A quick wit was her charm. Her laughter unmistakable, "You're #1 and you know it Indian Girl", as her dad would say. She will be dearly missed, never forgotten. "It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone, for a part of us went with you the day God called you home."A celebration of Candice's life will be held at Creek Park, AB in the summer of 2019, where a tree will be planted and her ashes spread. In lieu of honorables, please take some time to spread kindness to someone in need in your community. A special thank you to Chief Dennis Meeches and band council for their everlasting support whenever requested. To all of those who hold Candice in their hearts, miigwetch.

OEHLER, Bobby Lynn -Bobby Lynn Oehler (AKA: Anne-Marie Dombowsky) May 4, 1968 - January 30, 2019Tragically in the early morning of January 30th, Bobby Lynn Oehler passed away suddenly at her fiancé's side. Bobby loved life and lived it to its absolute fullest. She impacted so many people's lives in such a positive, uplifting manner. Anyone who met Bobby can testify that she held no judgement on others. With wide open arms she would embrace, council, love and help so many in need and seeking sound advice - Bobby was definitely a genuine soul and true friend.Bobby was a kindred spirit with nature and all animals. She adored all things living, in that respect, and had a true passion for it. This passion and desire to be surrounded in nature brought her to the Yukon Territory, where she spent time enjoying God's beautiful works first hand and up close. The tall strong trees of the forest you'd find her trekking through, gazing up at the beautiful skies with a huge smile on her face. She never took that for granted and would often say how grateful she was for that experience. When sharing bits of her life with others, you'd often hear her excitement and hope to one day go back, as she was truly in her element up there.Bobby's passion did not stop there. Her love, kindness and respect for all animals exceeded her. For a few years she bred Great Danes. She would lay with her female all through the birthing process to welcome each new puppy into the world. Bobby, over the years, surrounded herself with animals. She was an amazing soul with them; able to communicate with even the most stubborn of all. The animals in her life became very close to her. She was their "Mamma", for she spoke their language.Bobby has left behind a legion of souls who will miss her dearly. But through each, you will find her there - she will continue on in us. For in each, she left a piece of herself, her kind soul and gentle, caring words and love of people. Bobby has left behind, for her new journey, her Fiancé, Michael Schludermann, her soon to be Father-in-law, Eduard Schludermann, her closest confidant and friend, Ty Guenther, her precious Bugg-dog Dubai, Parrots, Jo-Jo and Doobie, lifelong friend Diane and very close friends, Tony, Maria and Dave, Maurice and many many more.We all will miss your loving smile and warm soul, your addictive laugh and your firecracker personality - ALWAYS. The world has lost a precious part of itself now that you're not a part of it. We LOVE you dearly - our Bobby.A special thank you to the first responders for their quickness and for caring for bobby on-site. Our most profound gratitude for surgeons and the incredible people in the SICU Unit at the Health Sciences Centre for their kindness and the incredible respect they showed to Bobby. "What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us."Celebration of Life, 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, Friday, February 8, 2019 at Charisma of India 83 Sherbrook Street at Wolseley.Bardal Funeral Home204-774-7474Condolences: www.bardal.ca

His Grandma Feasey and Grandpa Giuliano and Grandma Mary whom he adored and was much loved. His Uncles and Aunts, Darin and Susan, Kirk and Marli, Joey and Phaedra and Cedryck and Carrie and all his cousins who loved him unconditionally. Kael was born just shy of Easter on April 3rd, 2010. He spent his first three months in NICU and PICU but proved, like many more times that he was small but mighty and would not be denied. Through perseverance and commitment we were able to get him to a level where he could attend daycare and grade school as he was such a sociable boy and he had a wonderful EA for four years, Mrs. A (Helene) and Wendy. Thank you to Discovery and Stevenson for providing a warm and inclusive environment for him. He loved being in the middle of things and did not want to be left out. Kael had an infectious laugh that never seemed to end. He also had a smile as wide and bright as the Sun. Kael loved to play soccer and his "fancy feet" displayed some formidable dribbling skills. Kael's favourite phrase that he loved to yell out was "Go Out van". We purchased a van to allow this and had many memorable outings. When he was healthy he radiated pure joy and love. Despite his handicaps Kael was able to comprehend many things and was known to snort and chortle whenever he thought he got the best of you- which was quite often. Kael was also able to attract so many great people into his orbit. All of his Caregivers became family and made a huge difference in his and our lives. Thank you to Tess, Roselyn, Hannah, Althea, Coco, Catherine, Brandy, Emily, Karri, Madeline, Roxanne, Debbie and many others- he loved you all in his special way. Thanks to Dr. Bermack for your countless hours and to the Specialists we saw on a regular basis, especially Dr. Rempel and Barb for your many hours of care. Thanks to all the specialty clinics at the Children's Hospital. Thanks to his teachers Connie Lowe, Jennifer Hardy, Shelley Gaucherie, Principal Jane Couch, Colleen Mac Donnell, Driver Cam, SSCY and school OT's, PT's and SP's, and his friends Parker, Anna and Akkad. There will be no funeral but a Celebration of Life will occur at a later date- notice will be provided. In Lieu of Flowers, donations can be made in Kael's memory to Children's Hospital or SSCY. Rest In Peace, Little Warrior. You will be forever remembered. KLASSEN Funeral Home (204) 338 0331 Condolences may be sent towww.klassenfuneralhome.com

SIMARD, Hughie - It is heavy hearts that we bid farewell to our oldest brother, Hughie (The Bo) who passed awayon March 26, 2018, at his home in Brokenhead, Manitoba. Hughie leaves behind his mother, and his buddy, Mary Simard of Winnipeg, his eight siblings, numerous nephews and nieces,aunts, uncles, many cousins and closest friends who hold personal memories of Hughie. Hughie was predeceased by his common-law-wife of many years, Brenda Sinclair, his dad Louis (Papa) Simard, his little brother Louis Jr., his Papa and Nanny, his grandma and mishoomis, many uaunts and uncles, cousins and friends. Hughie was devestated by Brenda's sudden death in October, 2016, just nine months after our father's passing. They left a hole in his heart to big to repair. Although they had their hardships, Hughie and Brenda were inseparable, always together on every occasion. Each day of her passing was too much for him, as he dealt with the relentless demons in his head and in his personal life. Although he was secretive about his personal life, Hughie was closest to his younger sisters Karla and Lina, who tried in their hearts to guide him along the way. But the pain of losing Brenda was too much for him. He struggled withher loss until the day he died and we know that she was the last thing on his mind as he took his last breath alone in thier home in Scantubury, Manitoba. Hughie was the typical older brother, with his strict discipline, joking and teasing, and his resilient caring nature. He always made his thoughts known, whether we kicked it or not, just like our mother. And he had the fatherly love of our father, which we sometimes didn't recognize. We had a tough life together and faced many hardships as children but we had many happy times as well. The memories we have of our tetu (stubborn headstrong) brother and friend will always be with us as we continue on our own personal journeys in this life. Please join us as we bid adieu et au revoir to The Bo. We love you! The funeral service will be on Wednesday, April 3 at the Katerri Roman Catholic Parish. Ellis and home Street. At 2 PM with cremation to follow. A wake service will begin Tuesday evening at 7 PM till 11 PM.
