DE ARMOND, C.E. Dee
C.E. “Dee” De Armond, born January 5th, 1924, died on September 27th, 2011, at the age of 87. In life, he was a man who was guided by purpose, logic and common sense. He always completed whatever he undertook, always did his best work, and complied with the rules, consistently living an honourable life. Dee was married for fifty-nine years to Mary (née Armit), who predeceased him in July of 2010. He leaves behind his daughter, Margery Brown, son-in-law, Paul, and granddaughters, Leanne, Emily and Hannah. His sister, Ellen Cuppen, of Cranbrook, BC and remaining brother, Keith De Armond, of Victoria, BC, remember their big brother with deep love, as do his nieces and nephews by blood and marriage.

As a young man, Dee was brave and proudly Canadian. At the age of nineteen, he joined the RCMP and served twenty-seven years, retiring with the rank of Sergeant. Still a young man, he pursued another career, that of Piano Tuner/Technician and laboured happily in his home workshop, fixing piano actions, sometimes from the ground up and doing a regular round of house calls with customers and their pianos which he kept in tune with his habitual dedication, making devoted friends in the process. He delighted in his work since fixing things was a way of life and he took much pleasure and satisfaction in earning the respect of his colleagues.

Cpl. Robert W. Brossart

CPL. ROBERT (BOB) BROSSART March 9, 1958 - May 5, 2004. Bob died peacefully, in the presence of his wife and children, at Neepawa, MB, eight months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. He was born in Saskatoon, SK, and raised in Allan, SK, spending his early years helping on the family farm. He was studious throughout his school years, and was honoured with the Governor General award upon his graduation in 1976. He worked at the Allan Potash Mine until he was accepted into his chosen career, a peace officer with the RCMP. In 1978, following six months of training, he was posted to Cranberry Portage, MB, and spent most of his service in detachments throughout Manitoba, The Pas (1979), Russell (1982), Morris (1989), and in 1993, he took a promotion to Corporal in charge of Pukatawagan. He worked well with the aboriginal people and was well respected in the community. Upon his departure, he was awarded an Eagle Feather by the Pukatawagan First Nations, the highest honour that can be bestowed upon an individual.

In 1995, he was offered a position as an instructor at the RCMP depot in Regina, SK. There he served on the Police Driving Unit and in Applied Police Science, where he trained cadets, incoming facilitators, and developed training programs. He was rated by his peers and cadets, as a very dedicated, hard working, meticulous individual, with a direct approach to teaching. His time and talents were used actively volunteering on committees, and organizing functions to promote positive public relations between the police and the general public. He was proud to serve as President of the Regina Area Cpl.s Mess, and was instrumental in allocating funds for the opening of the RNWMP Boomtown Detachment at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon. Bobs desire was to return to operational policing and he chose to transfer back to Manitoba in June 2000. He was presently serving at the Spruce Plains Detachment in Neepawa. As with any rural detachment, a dedication, above and beyond is required, Bob had that sense of duty and applied many hours to his work. He was an active member of the local Citizens on Patrol Program and served on local committees for the betterment of the community. He mostly enjoyed the everyday duties of his work, spending time with the people, the comradery of his peers, the teamwork, the laughter and work that went with it. He had a good sense of humour and a way of joking that put people at ease. He was proud of what he did and who he was. In December 2002, he was the recipient of Queens Jubilee medal for commendable service. He represented the Force well and was recognized with letters of acknowledgement and appreciation through-out his career.

Bob celebrated 25 years in the RCMP in October 2003, and his career legacy will be his professionalism, strong leadership skills, and a man with high standards who led by example. Above all, Bob was a loyal devoted family man. He met his wife Patricia in 1980, while serving in The Pas, and in 1984 they were married. While stationed in Russell their two children, Stacey and Steven were born. Bob worked hard over the years to provide a comfortable life for his family and gave his time and talents to the houses he had built in three of his postings. His skills were matched in his public and private life, being very well organized, putting the extra effort in all tasks, believing that nothing should be second best. He supported his children by teaching his values of daily living and being a part of the cheering section at their soccer and hockey games. Over the years, it was his love of driving that he developed in his children, many hours were spent touring around with them. He had strong family values and he believed that each one should take an active part in working together as a unit and certainly his faith was an important part of that family life. Bob was a collector, stamps, coins, RCMP memorabilia, and cartoon clips that mirrored his life. Every occasion and special moment was captured by his photography and video skills and we are left with a treasure of albums illustrating our lives together. His career enabled his family to meet people, travel, and have experiences that will last a lifetime. Left to mourn his passing are his wife Patricia; children, Stacey and Steven of Neepawa. He is also survived by his parents, Theodore and Anita Brossart of Saskatoon; three brothers, John (Nadia, Ryan and Travis), Winnipegosis, MB, Ron (Celine and Marc), Brandon, MB and Ernie (Brenda, Jordan and Luke), Saskatoon. Patricias family, parents, John and Mary Kobelak; sisters, Georgina Elstad, Julie Henderson, Sherry Kobelak-Cameron, Doreen Kobelak; and brother Steven Kobelak as well as their families. Bobs numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins are deeply saddened by his death. He leaves many friends in the RCMP and their families, as well as close friends outside the force who he enjoyed spending time with.

We will miss his strength as a husband and Dad, and the little quirks that were so much a part of him. We are grateful he was here to see Stacey graduate, and she was home with us during this time. He was able to watch and give Steven some tips while he learned to drive and chauffeured us around. The time we spent in Winnipeg, just the two of us. There was the chance to spend time with relatives, touch base with old friends, and make new ones. We were able to go for drives, visit local coffee shops, and spend quiet time together. We held a small celebration at our home in honour of his 25th anniversary in the RCMP. Bob exemplified the utmost strength and bravery throughout his illness, certainly tolerating many painful days. He did his best to participate in family outings whenever he could just to be with us. Our family is grateful that God gave us the time to make more memories, to be with him, and for him, through it all. We deeply appreciate those health professionals who gave so much of themselves, at CancerCare Manitoba, Health Sciences Centre, and Grace Hospital, Winnipeg, Neepawa and Winnipegosis Hospitals, you are amazing people who saw his strength and courage. He was a hero to the end. Bob was laid to rest at the Riverside Cemetery, Neepawa, on May 11. If you so desire, donations may be made to Bobs charities of choice, War Amps, CancerCare Manitoba, and the Canadian Porphyria Foundation.

March 9, 1940 - Dec. 1, 2011 Guymer, Wesley Robert (Wes) Sgt. (Retired) R.C.M.P.

Wes died at his home in Maple Ridge, B.C., on December 1, 2011, at the age of 71. Wes' year-long battle with cancer reflected the determination and positive attitude he displayed all his life. Born March 9, 1940 in Flin Flon, MB, Wes was raised in The Pas, where he played Intermediate A hockey for The Pas Huskies. At the age of 19, Wes joined the RCMP and commenced training in Regina. Taking his first post in Kitimat, B.C., Wes quickly immersed himself into competitive team sports. In 1965, Wes was transferred to Port Coquitlam when he was recruited to play defence for Burnaby of the all-Police Hockey League winning the title and by 1969 as Captain, led the Maple Ridge Mounties to accomplish a similar feat. In addition to being a talented hockey player, Wes was an avid curler: he played second for Team BC winning the Canadian Police Curling Championship in 1969. In 1971, Wes was promoted to Corporal and transferred to Ladysmith, where he also became chairman of the Ladysmith Days annual summer festival . By 1974, as Captain, he led the Vancouver Islander's Police hockey team to win the Western Canadian title. In 1978, Wes was promoted to Sergeant and transferred to Prince Rupert in charge of G.I.S. In 1981, Wes was transferred to Castlegar, followed by a transfer in 1986 to Maple Ridge, where he eventually retired after 30 years of exemplary service.

Prior to his departure from the RCMP, Wes became a property manager in Maple Ridge, where he built a large network of friends. As a member of Carnoustie Golf Club in Port Coquitlam, Wes won the club championship in 1998 and was adorned their prestigious club jacket he so proudly wore on special occasions. Wes had a big personality, a generosity of spirit and an unfailing, brilliant sense of humour. He had a deep love for his family and friends. A true B.C. sports-fan, he was a season ticket holder for the Lions, Grizzlies, Canucks and WHL Giants. Wes could be seen at almost every Giants home game with son Dave and friends Chang or Doug cheering on the young stars of tomorrow.

Left behind to cherish Wes' memory: his spouse, Kathy McElheron; his children and their spouses, David (Alaina); Lynda (Larry); Wendy (John); his grandchildren, Daniel, John, Jacob and Avah ; Wes' father, Wilfred Guymer; his siblings and their spouses, Myrna (Glen), Vernice (Fred), Calvin (Debbie); aunts Lil (George) & Lorrie, cousins, and many nieces and nephews. Wes is predeceased by his mother, Irene, step-mother, Mary, and his ex-wife, Verna. Special thanks are extended to friends Chang Ug Hong, Brent Scott, Garry Morrish, Sgt. Toby Hinton (VPD) & Odd Squad Productions, and the Friends of the RCMP Museum, of which Wes was a major contributor.

Born In: Royal Park, Alberta, Canada
Born: May 17th, 1932

Passed in: Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada
Passed on: November 2nd, 2011

William Thomas Procyk -- 1932 - 2011

It is with great sadness that the family of William Thomas Procyk announces his sudden passing on November 2, 2011. Bill was born at home in Royal Park, AB, on May 17, 1932, the third child of recent Ukrainian immigrants Alexander and Melania Procyk. Bill was raised in modest circumstances on the family farm in Mundare, AB, where he attended school. Bill grew up during hard financial times in the 1930s and the 1940s, and he endured many hardships. He was very appreciative of the Basilian Fathers within the community, for it was the Fathers who took young Bill under their wing. Following Bill’s graduation from high school in 1950, he moved to Edmonton to be closer to his brother John, and he worked at the Tasty Cake Bakery as a baker, and then as a pin-setter at a local bowling alley. After living and working in the city, Bill was ecstatic to be accepted into the RCMP Training Academy in Regina, SK. Bill had always expressed interest in joining the Force, and he was honoured to be chosen as a candidate. After much hard work during training at Depot, Bill graduated and destiny led him to his first post in Indian Head, SK. It was here that Bill met the love of his life, Elinor Dahlgren, and the two were soon inseparable. However, as the Force had a rule at the time that a Member must serve 5 years in the Force before marrying.

Bill and Elinor endured a long engagement before marrying on April 25, 1957. Soon after their marriage, Bill and Elinor were stationed in Regina, SK, where they welcomed the birth of their first daughter, Lois Dawn, in May 1958. Shortly after this they were transferred again to Bengough, SK, and they welcomed the birth of their second daughter, Terry, in May 1960. The next transfer took the growing family to Cut Knife, SK, where their third daughter Dianne was born in August 1963. In 1969, Bill was transferred to Carlisle, SK, and in 1970 they welcomed their forth child, Robert William Procyk. In 1971, Bill and Elinor were transferred to Swift Current, SK, where Bill was promoted to Staff Sargent. After running the Swift Current Detachment for a year, Dad was promoted to the rank of Inspector, and the family moved to Chilliwack, BC in 1972. After nine years in the Lower Mainland, Dad took one final transfer in late 1981, to Prince Albert, SK, where he was promoted to the rank of Superintendent and was placed charge of the Prince Albert Detachment, and was the Officer in charge of all of the Detachments north of Prince Albert all the way up to the border of the North West Territories. Bill loved this new role, and he enjoyed his time working both in the city and in the various northern Detachments. He loved the northerners, and felt a kinship with his fellow officers. It was with a very heavy heart that Bill decided to retire in late 1990. He left the Force after 37 amazing, productive years, and indeed, it was the Force that shaped Bill into the fine man that he was. After realizing that he couldn’t become a permanent retiree, Bill began a multitude of jobs.

After retirement, Bill accepted a position as a member on the Board of the Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons, which he cherished immensely. He also took a job his dear friend Harold Guy offered him, delivering groceries for Harold’s IGA. He worked at Harold’s for many years, and thought of the staff there as family. Dad also worked other jobs simultaneously, such as a cleaner for Rawlco Radio, where he loved his radio family, and serving as a prosecutor for traffic tickets and offences for the City of Prince Albert. Dad also spent time working for a company scanning barcodes for a clothing retailer, working as a “runner” for a local law firm, and serving on many local committees and charities. After Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2005, he still kept busy with his many jobs as long as he could. Even after losing his wife Elinor in 2008, and with his declining health, Dad still loved to visit and keep busy and help the community. Thanks to the RCMP Veterans, he was able to enjoy weekly gatherings with them until the end. Everyone who met Dad loved him – he was one of those magnetic personalities, full of grace, humility, and humor. Throughout his life and his career, Dad encountered many things. As an RCMP member, he took great pride in events that he took part in, such as the changing of the Canadian flag, the guarding of King Hussein of Jordan, the guarding of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and the burial of Poundmaker. The RCMP was an integral part of his life, and he took immense pride in being a member of the Force. However, Dad was just as proud of his family. He loved his wife, his children, and his grandchildren with a ferocious zeal. His family meant everything to him, and he was definitely a hand’s on husband, father, and grandfather. Left to carry on his legacy are his children, Dawn (Alan) Mcvey, and their children Shane (Kiersten Specht) and Haley, Terry Teichgrab (Willie Unger) and her children Jordan and Brandon Teichgrab, Dianne Procyk (Kevin Wilson) and their children Kelly Tenaschuk, Mark, Jesse, and Karlee Wilson, and Rob Procyk (Tracy Tolley) and their children Kelly, Kristen, Brianne, and Owen. He is also survived by his sister, Jean Wallace, of Surrey, BC, his other sister Lesia (Dave) Richardson of Victoria, BC, and his sisters-in-law Josie Procyk of Calgary and Lorraine Procyk of Edmonton, as well, Dad is survived by his honorary brothers, the RCMP Veterans of Prince Albert, and his good friend Harold Guy. He was pre-deceased by the love of his life, his wife of 51 years, Elinor Procyk, his parents, Alex and Melania (nee Corwec) Procyk, his in-laws Oscar and Emily Dahlgren, his brothers John and Mike Procyk, his sisters-in-law Alma Williamson and Lois Urie, his brothers-in-law Roy Williamson and Andy Wallace and his son-in-law Don Teichgrab.

Dad’s life was the epitomy of the life well-lived. Bill was always honorable, truthful, respectful, and moral. Dad taught us that honor and class went hand in hand, and he taught us that being humble was a virtue. We will miss your smile, your sense of humor, and your hugs. You will never be forgotten, Dad. And each time we look at our own children, we will see your legacy of love and sacrifice shine through. We love and miss you forever. Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 11:00 at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church, 260 – 25th Street East, Prince Albert, SK with Mrs. Margaret Ferchuk officiating. Interment to take place at a later date in Regina. In lieu of other tributes, memorial donations can be made to the Alzheimer Association of Saskatchewan, 301 – 2550 – 12th Avenue, Regina, SK S4P 3X1. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.grays.ca. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Gray’s Funeral Chapel, Drew Gray, Funeral Director.

J.A. Paul Donelle

DONELLE, J.A. PAUL - July 14, 1944 - November 1, 2011 - He was a man among men. How can you put into words the life of a man who touched so many lives? He had devoted his life to serving the Lord Jesus Christ and in so many ways showed the world his Saviour. Not just through the messages he preached or the testimonies he shared but through the innumerable acts of kindness and generosity he lived out. He was always ready to help someone and took the extra time with those so many had given up on. Yet he was unswerving in his passion for truth and upholding the right, it’s what made him a top-notch police officer. For him the RCMP was an opportunity to carry out what was part of his character. As a police officer, pastor and father he was a man of integrity, who demonstrated that words and actions must coincide, so he earned the respect of so many. Not just by the strength of his character but through the life he lived.

He loved his family and was never so happy as when he was surrounded by them recounting his many stories. He was proud of his family; his voice would ring with pride as he spoke of the ones he loved. He was a devoted husband who made time to get away with his high school sweetheart even when life was busy. They opened up their home and everyone who came to the home was welcomed and found a man easy to talk to and who was willing to listen. He was in many ways a quiet man like an ocean swell that moves so much but with so little fanfare. He was in many ways a giant who was gentle and put into action his faith in Christ and has left a living legacy in the lives of all those he has touched. Paul is survived by his wife, Thérèse (LeBlanc) Donelle of 45 years, his two children Kimberley DeJager (Mark) and Jason Donelle (Kimberly Price); his eight grandchildren, Jessica, Christopher, Lindsay, Jonathan, Mackenzie, Kaylin, Carter and Jaxen; his two sisters Alfreda (Paul-Emile), Stella (Emery), and two brothers Roger (Denise), and Richard (Heather). He was predeceased by his father Alfred Donelle and mother Clara Donelle.

We will celebrate his life with a visitation, this Sunday, November 6 from 3pm to 5pm and 6pm to 8pm at Faith Life Church in Cap Pele on route 133 “2800 Acadie Road” off of highway 15. Funeral Service will be held Monday, November 7 at 3pm at the Moncton Wesleyan Church at 945, St. George Street, Moncton. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to support Morning Star Children’s Home/Strong Tower Christian School in Peru, where Paul’s daughter Kim and her family are currently living out his legacy by bringing a practical demonstration of Christ’s love by caring for the most vulnerable. Funeral arrangements entrusted with Fair Haven Funeral Home, 1177 Salisbury Road, Moncton (506) 852-3530.

#56792 - Cst. Lacroix, Robert J.Y.M. - death of Oct. 20, 2011 - Sidney constable loses fight against cancer. Robert joined the Force on November 24, 2008 and was a serving member at the time of his passing. A Mountie and father of four whose battle against cancer inspired help from across Canada has died.

Const. Robert (Bob)Lacroix had been stationed in Sidney since 2008, when he was a new recruit. Lacroix was told in April that he had just eight to 12 weeks to live after doctors diagnosed angiosarcoma. He battled on, fulfilling his dying wish of taking his family to Disneyland. Recently, however, the cancer spread, and Lacroix died Thursday at Royal Jubilee Hospital. He was 39. He leaves his wife, Anic, and four children: Maximilien, 11; Talia, eight; Ariana, six; and Alivia, four. He also leaves his mother, Huguette. "Bob was a good father, and obviously a good man and good husband," said Sidney-North Saanich RCMP spokesman Cpl. Chris Swain. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time."

Born in Hull, Que., Lacroix owned a video store in Gatineau, Que., but chose a second career with the Mounties. Last December, a sickly Lacroix was found to have cancer, Swain said. After being told in April that he was terminally ill, he had chemotherapy in the hope that it would extend his life. Mounties throughout Vancouver Island and B.C. organized fundraising events to fulfill Lacroix's wish to take his wife and children to Disneyland in California. Lacroix was a big fan of Disney movies.

His first posting was Fort Vermilion, Alberta, a small and remote community in northern Alberta. Jim met his future wife Mary there after she arrived from Ireland to start a career in nursing.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hugh Hamilton Esson on December 24, 2008 at the age of 61, following a brief battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Mary and two daughters; Sandra (Mike) Weatherald, their son Logan and another child due in April, and Cheryl (Joey) Sabo and their daughter Shelby. He is also survived by his brother; Lindsay (Margaret) Esson, sister; Mary Pinson, sister-in-law; Shirley Esson; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Earl and Lyn Stuart; half sister; Betty White and numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents William and Flora Esson, brother; Tim Esson, half sister; Dorcas Haakonson, and a grandson at birth; Ryan Weatherald.

Hugh was born on June 21, 1947 in Penticton, BC, the youngest child of William and Flora Esson. He completed his education in Penticton and fulfilled his dream of becoming a police officer when he joined the RCMP in September, 1966. Upon completing his training in February, 1967, Hugh began his career in law enforcement. He was posted in several communities throughout Saskatchewan during his time with the RCMP, including Carrot River, Cumberland House, Tisdale, Waskesiu, La Ronge, Hudson Bay, Estevan, Nipawin, Broadview, Regina, Meadow Lake, and Saskatoon. It was during his time in La Ronge that he met the love of his life, Mary Stuart. They were married on January 22, 1972 and began their life together in Hudson Bay. They have two daughters, Sandra and Cheryl. Hugh was a wonderful father and was very proud of his daughters' accomplishments. He always made time to be involved in all aspects of their lives. Hugh was very passionate about the RCMP and community policing and was loved and respected by all those who had the opportunity to work with him. He immersed himself in volunteer activities and easily made lifelong friends in each of the communities he was posted in. His volunteer work was so extensive it is impossible to list, but most recently he served as president of the Saskatoon RCMP Veterans Association, treasurer of the St. Matthew's Anglican Church vestry, a security advisor for the 2010 World Jr. Hockey Championships, and secretary of his condo board. Hugh's distinguished service to the RCMP and extensive community involvement earned him many awards including the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal, the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Commemorative Medal, RCMP F Division Award, and RCMP Long Service Medals. After 37 years of service, Hugh retired from the RCMP in April, 2004 with the rank of Staff Sergeant. In addition to his volunteer activities, he continued to work with the RCMP as a civilian investigator and also picked up an occasional shift at the Scrimshaw Gallery. He was an avid curler, and more recently, an avid golfer, rarely turning down an invitation to participate in either sport. He most of all enjoyed the company of his family and friends. He adored his grandchildren, and they in turn adored him.

It has been said that a measure of a man is in the lives he's touched. Hugh touched many lives and his loss will be felt deeply by all those who had the privilege of knowing him. We will miss his compassionate, gentle and non-judgmental nature, his sense of humor, and his generosity of spirit. The world has truly lost a great man. We love you and we will miss you! The Funeral Service for Hugh will be held on Tuesday December 30, 2008 at 1:30 p.m from St Timothy's Anglican Church (2101 Lansdowne Ave., Saskatoon, SK), officiated by Rev. Neil Haines and Rev. Gary Sinclair. Interment to be held at a later date at the RCMP Cemetary, Regina, SK. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Matthew's Anglican Church (135 109th St. W. Saskatoon, SK.

He was predeceased by his father, Fletcher and his step-father, Stan Mitchell.

Paul was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and moved to Winnipeg with his family as a young child. He lived in St. Vital and received his education there. In 1966 Paul joined the RCMP and after training in Regina, SK and Penhold, AB he received his first posting to Cloverdale, B.C. in September 1966 where he stayed until he was called up for training for the Musical Ride in Ottawa. He completed the training and was posted back to Cloverdale then to New Westminster, B.C. and finally to the Vancouver Detachment. Paul thoroughly enjoyed his time with the RCMP but decided he wanted to try something different as a career path. He and his family moved back to Winnipeg where he took a position as a Sales Representative with the Mennen Company for the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. After two years, he was hired by Pentel of Canada and represented them for five years. Paul always wanted his own business so he initiated McNaughton Agency and represented many companies in the stationery sales business as a Manufactures Rep. In 1993, he and his wife moved to Langley, B.C. to begin an Agency in Seasonal Sales for Western Canada joining forces with Norlandam Marketing in Toronto. This partnership endured until Paul's passing. Paul traveled the world meeting with his customers and was extremely well respected within the Industry.

Paul's favourite place in the world was Lake of the Woods and he spent many wonderful weekends there over the years with his family enjoying fishing, boating and the company of great friends. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff at Bethesda Hospital and Dr. Mark Duerksen for their kind and compassionate care. No formal service will be held as per Paul's wishes. A private family gathering will take place at Lake of the Woods to honour and celebrate Paul's life.

LINKE, Rudolf Robert Born April 25, 1942 in Beausejour, Manitoba passed suddenly on August 4, 2011. Rudy is survived by his loving wife Helen, his daughters Shana Turner, Trudy Slepcevic, Sandy and her husband Darren Goodyear; his grandchildren Greg and James Turner, Kaitlyn Slepcevic and Steven Goodyear; his six brothers and sisters Frieda Hastman, Art Linke and wife Pat, Alma and husband Jim Newman, Ed and wife Ida Linke, Evelyn and husband Ken Miller, Manda and husband Lloyd Malkoske; brother-in-law Ken Wright and many nieces and nephews. Rudy lived an incredible life, one that could be an example for anyone.

He eagerly joined the RCMP on April 13, 1962 and embarked on a career where he proudly served for 32 years. He married his life-long love of 46 years on August 7, 1965. With a career he loved and the woman he adored, he created a family of five where he became the best Father ever. Always supportive and the rock of the family, Rudy also taught his daughters to love life as he did; to wake up every morning with a smile, to work hard, but to enjoy the rewards, to make as many corny jokes as one could fit into a day and to never go to bed angry were some of the best lessons that he gave us all. In addition to these and many more gifts he gave us, we were also blessed with an endless supply of Dad's famous potato pancakes, the best homemade french-fries, and the most amazing bbq steaks in the world. He loved to be surrounded by family and friends and spoil them rotten. Rudy made friends everywhere he went and, without trying, earned the respect of almost everyone he knew. Next to his family, hockey was the great love of his life. He was an exceptional goalie and when he had his hip replacement surgery he made sure to opt for the "sports model", which did not slow him down at all in between the posts. He was a reliable team-mate, an excellent goalie and an exceptional friend. He will be missed more than words can say. He will be in our hearts forever. We will always remember his smile. A celebration of Rudy's life will be held on Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Memorial donations may be made to to the Kelowna Minor Hockey Association. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com

Born in Edmonton, Lloyd grew up on their farm between Mannville and Irma, AB. He was predeceased by his parents Herbert and Gunvor.

Lloyd joined the R.C.M.P. at the age of 18 years training in Regina. His first posting was Campbellton, N.B. and then to Flin Flon and Swan River, Manitoba. Around this time he joined the R.C.M.P. Musical Ride. He toured the entire United States with the ride in 1949 and in 1953 rode as part of the Coronation parade for Queen Elizabeth II in London, England.

Transferred to Penticton, B.C. in 1953, he met and married Joy MacLeod. Future transfers in British Columbia included Stewart (1955), Chilliwack (1958), Courtney (1963), Salmon Arm (1966) and Revelstoke (1970). He headed the detachments in Salmon Arm and Revelstoke reaching the rank of Staff-Sergeant.

In 1971, at the age of 44, Lloyd retired from the force and with the desire to return to Salmon Arm, accepted the position of Personnel Manager at Federated Co-op.

Lloyd served for 6 years on town council. He was passionate about sports and continued playing hockey as an old timer. He was best known for his role as hockey referee, baseball and fastball umpire, as well as a football official. Joining the Rotary Club in 1968, he stayed actively involved until his passing. Lloyd also was an active member of the R.C.M.P. Veterans Association. Recognizing his contributions to the community, he was awarded the Governor General's "Caring Canadian" award in 1998 at a ceremony in Victoria.

All five boys followed their Dad's love of sport and were active in many, especially hockey, competitive swimming and baseball. In the early years, the family spent summer holidays camping in Penticton on Okanagan Lake.

This love of the water was enjoyed in later years with the purchase of a cabin at Fraser's Beach (Tappen Beach Estates) in 1977 and was a summer meeting place for all of the family for over 30 years. His bravery was best displayed when he packed up five kids in a station wagon with a 15 foot trailer to travel to Expo '67 in Montreal and on to P.E.I. to visit grandparents and relatives.

The family would like to thank all of the staff at Shuswap Lake Hospital and Bastion Place for their loving care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation or the charity of your choice.

KENNETH GEORGE MORRISON October 31, 1948 - June 26, 2011 Ken was born in Englishtown, Cape Breton Island, to John and Doris Morrison. He attended school in Baddeck, NS. After graduation, he was accepted into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police academy in 1967. During his career, Ken was posted in a number of detachments around Manitoba, including Amaranth and Ethelbert. While working in Ethelbert, he met Audrey Gnazdowsky, his future wife. They married on August 5, 1972. They began their life together in The Pas, and then were transferred to McCreary. While living in McCreary they started their family. They had a daughter Wendy in 1975, who died shortly after birth. Keri was born in 1976, and Todd was born in 1979. After Todd was born, the family was transferred to Winnipeg. Ken also worked in Powerview and Winnipegosis. He retired from the force in 1996. He and Audrey moved to Dauphin later that year. He continued his career working at the Canadian Firearms Centre. He also kept busy working at several gas bars around Dauphin. He was dedicated to his work and took pride in providing for his family.

Ken was well-known for his sarcastic sense of humour and you knew he liked you if he called you Bag . He had a tough exterior but his bark was always worse than his bite. His priorities in life included a spotless driveway - he had a full arsenal at his disposal, including the leaf blower that came out daily in the fall, and the shovel and snow blower in the winter. He was also meticulous about washing his vehicles, and washing the dishes - all running family jokes. He enjoyed watching the Toronto Blue Jays and was excited to attend their training camp games this past February when visiting his sister in Florida. He also kept the TV tuned either to the Golf Channel or the Food Network. He took quite an interest in cooking in recent years and had been known to bake muffins and cheese biscuits from scratch. Being from the East Coast, he loved seafood - he perfected his lobster and crab boils, and cooked fish and scallops perfectly. He enjoyed listening to country music and could be heard singing along off-key.

In September 2009, Audrey was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer. Ken was an incredibly loving, dedicated and patient caregiver to his wife during her illness. He rarely left her side and was devastated that she was ill. Audrey died on October 22, 2010. We believe that Ken was heartbroken after Audrey passed away. We find comfort in knowing that they are together again. Ken was predeceased by his wife Audrey, daughter Wendy, parents Doris and John, and sister Cynthia. Ken is survived by his daughter Keri, her husband Duane, and granddaughter Emma; his son Todd, his wife Krista, and grandchildren Callum, Kelty and Cale; his sister Judy Campbell, his brother John, and numerous extended family. A memorial service will be held on Monday, July 4, 2011 at 11:00 am, from the Sneath-Strilchuk Funeral Chapel in Dauphin, MB (Main Street location). A private family interment for both Ken and Audrey will follow the lunch, at the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox cemetery in Ethelbert, MB. Donations may be made in Ken's name to the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, or the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Sneath-Strilchuk Funeral Services 1-877-243-4459 www.sneathstrilchuk.com

ELLIOTT, George William - Peacefully, with his family at his side, George passed away May 26, 2011 at age 78. His memory will be forever cherished by his wife Joy; sons Mitchell (Judy) and Keith (Leslie) as well as extended family and many colleagues and friends. He was predeceased by his son Mark. George was born in Tugaske Saskatchewan in 1933. Trained as a radio operator, he began a long career with the Government of Canada in the RCMP Marine Division operating out of Halifax. He then moved into aviation, starting as a radio operator at small northern airports and then a series of positions in airport administration. In 1978, he was appointed the general manager of the Winnipeg International Airport, holding that position until his retirement in 1989.

Retirement only opened a new set of opportunities for George as he followed his passion for the aviation industry. He served as Executive Director of the Western Canada Aviation Museum, President of the Canadian Aeronautical Preservation Association, and as a member of many boards, including the Winnipeg Airports Authority. George served on the Board of the Commissionaires Manitoba for many years, including time as the board chair, and was actively involved in another of his passions, the RCMP Veterans Association. George was recognized many times for his contribution to transportation and the community, including being named the Manitoba Transportation Person of the Year and being awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal. George's greatest interest, however, was always people and increasingly his address book and the telephone became his most important possessions as his health started to fail. It was always vital to him that he stay connected.

The family would like to thank the many many neighbours, friends and colleagues (and their dogs) who called and visited with him. He loved you all. A private family graveside burial has taken place and a celebration of George's life will be held on Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 2:00pm at the Bridge Church, 620 Oxbow Bend Road, Winnipeg, MB.

Wallace joined the Force on 03-05-12 and all his service was in "K" Div. ******************************************************************************************

"There are many, many more memorable days than this." That's how Tracey Wallace summed up the life of her husband, RCMP Const. David Wallace, at a celebration of his life at the Nanton

Community Centre May 31.

Wallace died May 25 at the age of 42, following a battle with cancer.

An honour guard of about 70 RCMP members in full dress uniform, followed by members of the Nanton Fire Department, and representatives from various emergency services and enforcement departments, marched in formal procession from the Nanton RCMP office to the Community Centre, following Wallace's casket.

During the service, Tracey, along with Mark Crawford and Corp. A.J. Mand, talked of how Wallace's life was full of laughter, adventure, pranks, friendship and a dedication to his family and community.

Crawford, who was principal at Homestead Coulee School at Hanna where Wallace landed his first teaching job, said Wallace had a joie de vivre that touched everyone around him. His talents of funny accents, juggling and quick wit, combined with commitment and an ability to be a steady influence and talent at teaching made him an excellent teacher.

Wallace was always the life of the party, Crawford said, and he and Wallace remained strong friends for 17 years. Crawford recalled that while Wallace met Tracey at this school, where she was hired as a wellness worker.

Wallace eventually became a science teacher at the Hanna high school.

"Dave's passion was science," Crawford said, and people should remember "energy can not be created and destroyed. It can only be transformed."

He also noted Wallace's courage.

"It takes a very brave man to start a popcorn fight and a marshmallow fight in my wife's kitchen," he said.

Wallace kept that positive outlook and courageousness through challenging times, Crawford said.

Mand told people who packed the community centre that Wallace had become an auxiliary constable in Hanna in 2000. He went to training camp in Regina in 2002, and after graduating from depot, was stationed in Claresholm before transferring to Nanton.

Mand noted that Wallace's commitment to the community was shown in his involvement, in teaching the DARE course, and in refereeing hockey.

He told the younger RCMP members in attendance that if they were half the officer that Wallace was, they'd be OK.

Memorial donations can be made in Wallace's memory to the Nanton Sports for Kids Fund, Box 1187, Nanton, T0L 1R0.

DONALD WAY MacARTHUR

Born In: Brandon, Manitoba, Canada
Born On: 09/12/1929

Passed Away In: Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
Passed Away On: 05/05/2011

December 9, 1929 to May 5, 2011

It is with sad and heavy hearts that the family of Donald Way MacArthur announce his passing from the world minutes after midnight Thursday, May 5, 2011 in Kamloops, BC. It was in the wondrous care of the amazing staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House that he finally lost his battle with cancer. Having survived a previous battle with colon cancer, and living in good health over the last few years, it was of great surprise when he was diagnosed with aggressive cancer, only a few short weeks ago.

Donald was born December 9, 1929 in Brandon, Manitoba to his loving parents, James and Lavada MacArthur. Though he was born in Manitoba, it was in BC that he spent the bulk of his life. Living in Kitimat, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Victoria and Kamloops, Donald traveled around the province through the course of his career as a member of the RCMP, with 25 years service, and later, 20 years service as a liquor inspector for the province's Liquor Control & Licensing Branch. It was in Prince George where he started his family, but it was Kamloops where he finally settled his roots.

Through the course of his years, Donald enjoyed fishing, hunting, woodworking, watching curling, football, hockey (he was an avid Kamloops Blazers fan and Season Ticket Holder for years) and movies. Though, no matter what he was interested in, the thing he loved the most in life was his family. Regardless how gruff or terse he would seem, one could never mistake the love and pleasure in his eyes when his grand and great grandchildren were around.

Donald is predeceased by his parents, James and Lavada, and his eldest son Douglas Gordon MacArthur. In turn, he is survived by his son, Duncan Bruce MacArthur and daughter Jessie-Ann "Mouse" Fink, grandchildren Donald EH MacArthur (Mariana), Jennifer Brown (Sang), Elizabeth Keam (Kurt), Heather MacArthur, Angelica MacArthur, Mackenna Fink, Cole Fink and Dalton Fink. He will further be survived by his great-grandchildren Levi, Austin, Montana, Jayden, Drew, Marissa, Emily, Warrick and Nathaniel.

A Celebration of Life will be held in his honour and memory on Thursday, May 26th, 2011 at 2:00-5:00 p.m. at Ric's Mediterranean Grill at 227 Victoria Street, Kamloops. We ask that all that join us bring along a story or memory they have of Donald to share.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association (Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, 72 Whiteshield Cr., South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.)

JOHN NIBLOCK
October 15, 1930 - May 7, 2011

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Niblock in his 80th year.

Loving husband of 50 years to Fern Niblock (deceased).

John is survived by his three daughters: Jackie Niblock (Bruce MacKinnon), Rachel Niblock (Wayne Atkinson), and Jeanne Preto (Edward); his two sisters: Ida Connaghan, and Beth Cruickshank (Forbes); and his three grandchildren: Sara-Jane Niblock, Anthony Preto, and Hanna Preto. He also leaves behind his best friend Bert Malfair, his surrogate daughters: Paula, Liesl, and Marianne, and numerous other relatives and close friends.

John was born in Kelowna and always held a soft spot in his heart for the Interior of British Columbia. He left British Columbia in 1951 to join the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and soon after met and married Fern in 1956. John and Fern returned to B.C. and were posted to many communities within the province, making life long friends along the way.

His final RCMP posting was Kamloops in 1974, where John and Fern bought their first and only house, and finished raising their girls. John FINALLY retired in 1987 with over thirty years of service. Following that career, John drove school bus for 10 years where he frequently gave the students ‘tickets’ for making too much noise. He truly had enforcement in his blood!

John had many interests including hunting and fishing, most notably though was beekeeping which he did for many years. His “Kamloops Honey” was the absolute best.

Our Dad was a man of honesty and integrity and we will miss him more than words can ever express.

We were more than fortunate to have him as our father. We will miss you Dad.

All of our love, your girls.

There will be a Memorial Service on Saturday, May 14th at 2:00 p.m. at Schoening Funeral Home, 513 Seymour St., Kamloops, B.C. (5th and Seymour).

John and Fern; Together again”

In lieu of flowers, please make donations in John's name to The Kamloops Hospice Association.

OUR TROOP COMMANDER PASSES - JAN. 26, 1988

Former Quartermaster Sergeant, Regimental Number 9293, BURT-JOHNS, Frederick Richard Perchell, R.C.M.P.(1920-1940), was born January 20, 1900 at Newcastle-On-Tyne, Northumberland, England, to a British father and a Canadian Mother. "Fred" came from a long line of patriotic family members - his great-grandfather fought at Waterloo, and others in succession, including his father, followed into the military and diplomatic service of Great Britain.

Although he emigrated to Halifax in 1906, he did return to England, and at a very early age he was brought up in the rudiments of military training with the objectives of producing a soldier and a gentleman. It was at 14 years of age that he enlisted as a "boy soldier" in the Irish Guards at the outbreak of World War I, and transfered to the Canadian Engineers serving the remainder of the War with a rifle and fortitude in front line trenches under grim conditions and severe enemy conflicts. He became a man very very quickly.

His fighting services were in France, Flanders and Belgium, until wounded rather seriously at Loos. But in the meantime his actions at the Front bore witness to his developing character under fire. This resulted in him being highly decorated by King George V and King Albert of Belgium for bravery on the fieid of·battle and again for meritorious service. Upon demobilization he came back to Canada and after due time recovering from his wound, and showing particular interest and enthusiaslm for the R.C.M.P. joined the Force on May 22, 1920. During his training he was:a member of the first Musical Ride re-organized after the War. He then served in "N" ~ "0", "R"(Yukon), and "D" Divisions. In his history with the Force he performed exceptionally well in Northern Postings in the Yukon. There he married Edna Henrietta in 1932. His last posting was to Winnipeg where he obtained his Quartermaster Sergeant promotion in times when promotions were hard to come by. Interestingly, the rank was denoted by Sergeants' chevrons surmounted by al star, which to-day no longer exists. But, after 20 years service he left the Force for the Canndian Army on November 6, 1940, to fulfill his tradional bit for Country in World War II. He received his Commission quickly advancing to that of Major whilst undertaking a wide variety of duties requiring his knowledge, skills, energy and sound judgement which he applied with his now usual alacrity.. Some of his duties were on the dangerous Murmansk and Gibralter convoy runs.

After hostilities concluded "Fred" settled in Calgary and began to lend his personal resources to those veterans and citizens who benefited from him in civilian life. His disciplined concerns for his fellow man and woman who had served and who continued to serve their country and its' worthy traditions was admired by all who came to know him. "Fred" joined our Veterans' Division on May 27, 1948; He was made a life member Nov. 20, 1973 for his contributions to the Divisions among which was his unique wry yet respectful humour.

His wife died on January 10, 1982 and as' per her wishes he reverently scattered her ashes to the prairie breezes in hills overlooking the foothills to the West.

"Fred " was lonely. Fortunately he was to share his life with another fine woman, Lenore, who he married on September 2, 1983, and this too was a happy union. -------------

A daughter, Isabel, from his first marriage lives in Ottawa, and her personality is just another Fred BURT-JOHNS Jr. A truly fine person. "Fred" upon his death on January 26, 1988 was our only "Troop Commander" of the Calgary Division Ceremonial "F' Troop which he held without peer for many years. The RCMP Veterans' Association "Guidon" and Divisions Bannerettes resulted from the basics researched and provided by this man who was ever so proud of the Force and its' Veterans. His ashes are scattered among the grave head stones o f his old comrades throughout Union Cemetery at Calgary. Lenore, his wife survives him. (Calgary Division RCMP Veterans) recorded history files)

He met and fell in love with Elaine in Lethbridge and then began a long distance relationship while stationed in Medicine Hat.

John Edward Brossart, of Winnipegosis, MB, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Friday, February 10, 2006 at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre, Dauphin, MB. He was born in Saskatoon, SK, on August 1, 1955, the firstborn to Theodore and Anita Brossart. He was raised in Allan, SK, and received his entire education, graduating in 1973. In 1974, at 19 years of age he joined the R.C.M.P, and graduated from the R.C.M.P. Training Academy, Regina, SK, in 1975. He was first posted to Winnipegosis, MB, in 1975, and later that same year transferred to Ethelbert, MB. In 1976 he took a transfer to Swan River, and in 1982 to Cranberry Portage, MB. In 1987, he was transferred to Virden, MB, and in 1992 he was promoted to Corporal and chose a transfer to Winnipegosis, MB, where he was still serving at the time of his death. John gave the majority of his life to his 31 year career in the R.C.M.P, serving and protecting the citizens of Manitoba. He took a genuine interest in all people he came in contact with, treating each individual with courtesy and respect. He possessed exceptional leadership abilities as well as strong organizational skills, and was often placed in the position of Acting Detachment Commander. When in charge of a contingent of his fellow officers, he instantly gained their respect as a team player, whose confident, hands on approach, played an integral role resulting in critical investigations brought to a successful conclusion. He demanded the best of himself, and of those he supervised, and his efforts were often acknowledged with letters of appreciation, by both his superiors and the public alike. His work ethic was admirable, and his efficiency was a key trait that many whom he worked with mentored. He had a dynamic personality and great sense of humour, which made work days entertaining; his hearty laugh, trademark wink, and quick wit, were simply a part of his communication style. In 1975, he met the love of his life, Nadia Barsewsky in Winnipegosis, MB, and they were married in 1978. He was a loving husband who combined special times in those years, with his talents as a skilled craftsman, and built their first home in Swan River, MB. Six years later, while stationed in Cranberry Portage, they were blessed with two children, Ryan (1984) and Travis (1987). From the very start, it was evident that he was the best Dad any child could hope for. He showed his support by taking an active role in their upbringing, and a genuine interest in their lives. Whatever they needed or he thought they might like, he found a way to make it happen. Projects built with detail: a tool to learn how to skate, an outdoor play structure, a bunk bed, and an indoor swing in the basement of the house he built while stationed in Virden, MB. He always made time for his children, and treated them each as the unique individuals they were. With Travis, he was proud of his academic achievements as well his computer skills. Many hours were spent together on extensive Lego projects, that his Dad insisted on proudly displaying upon completion, as well as hours spent playing games of monopoly and chess; and he often addressed his youngest son with a Hey Bud ! It was Travis that wanted a dog, but it was his Dad that named Abby and both loved that little pet. This past year, Father and son shared an extra special bond and were a constant support for each other. There was simply no greater love a Dad could have for a son. With Ryan, he shared his love of the great outdoors: skidooing, quading, fishing, and flying. Special times were spent together washing their cars on Sundays. Working side by side with his Dad instilled a desire for Ryan to follow in his footsteps and join the R.C.M.P, and again they had the opportunity to work together when Ryan joined the Winnipegosis Detachment as an Auxiliary Constable this past summer. He seen first hand the many attributes his Dad possessed and how his work ethic and attention to detail transferred to his job. He was so proud to see how well respected his Dad was by his colleagues. It was a true moment of joy when Ryan shared the news of his acceptance into the R.C.M.P. with his Dad, and he knew that his son would carry on his name, in the profession in which he had served so well. A Dad couldn't have been prouder of his son. The eldest of four brothers, John was the big brother they looked up to; whether it was a project or listening to their ideas, they benefited from his wisdom. He was a talker, a listener, and always willing to lend his advice or a helping hand. He showed caring and compassion and sensitivity for his brother Bob and his family, during a very difficult and helpless time. He was a great son: helpful, talented and dependable, his parents were very proud to call him their son. There was a mutual respect and a great deal of love displayed over the years for Nadia's parents, and he was a truly special son-in-law. He was interested in each family member and they enjoyed their unique relationship with him. He always made time for his friends. He knew how to unwind and relax and took those opportunities whenever he could to enjoy their company, and often a simple discussion of how to fix, create, or build something, turned into a project. He was a jack-of-all trades and mastered them all. He was a plumber and an electrician, a skilled craftsman, and a very fine finishing carpenter. His friends enjoy the treasures of his handiwork left in many of their homes. A Saskatchewan farm boy at heart, he could be found helping his friend during harvest season in his spare time. He always had a project on the go; be it construction or renovation - and he welded an awesome blow torch. You couldn't find one like that in Princess Auto! He was a hard worker, and could be counted on to do a perfect job, there simply was no quitting until the problems were solved and the work complete. Most guys have a tool box, he had a tool bus , and he was proud to own the right tool for the right job. He found tremendous enjoyment in his fishing trips to Sherridon, MB, and the moments spent with his friends; escaping the solitude and the busyness of his regular activities. He was a collector, a bargain hunter, and took great pride in his Camaro and motorbike. Princess Auto was his favorite store, and he was an especially valued customer to them. He was a community minded individual, who implemented the required changes to the local Winnipegosis Curling Club and Hospital, which vastly improved both the appearance and quality of the buildings. John left where he started; in the town of Winnipegosis; in his R.C.M.P. career; and where he met Nadia. His career legacy is the high standards he maintained, his commitment to always do his best, and his loyalty to the Force. He was truly one of their finest police officers. His legacy to his family is the importance he placed on them. It is said, that the greatest gift a Father can give his children is to love their Mother and he built a strong foundation with the respect he showed for his wife. His gift to his children is the fine example of what a good Dad is. He was as comfortable in the kitchen as he was in his office; helpful and efficient, and Sundays meant enjoying his traditional family breakfast. They shared family vacations, and special occasions were marked family and friends, with everyone welcome. He considered his family in all things, celebrating their successes and accomplishments. He was a selfless individual to chose to live his life serving others. Each one of us are privileged to have shared a part of his life and we are left with memories that will last a lifetime. John was predeceased by his brother Corporal Robert Brossart of Neepawa, MB, his Grandparents and by his father-in-law, Ivan Barsewsky of Winnipegosis, MB. He leaves to mourn and cherish his memory, his loving wife Nadia, and his sons Ryan and Travis, of Winnipegosis, MB. His parents, Theodore and Anita Brossart, Saskatoon, SK, and his mother-in-law, Rosalie Barsewsky, Winnipegosis, MB. His two surviving brothers, Ron Brossart, Brandon, MB, and Ernie and his wife Brenda Brossart, Saskatoon, SK. Two sisters-in-law, Patricia Brossart of Neepawa, MB, and Leona and her husband Harley Kemp, Flin Flon, MB, as well as his brother-in-law, Nestor and his wife Linda Barsewsky, Winnipegosis, MB. He will be sadly missed by his nieces, his nephews, his extended family, friends in the R.C.M.P., and each one of his dear friends.

LAST MEMBER OF 1944 RCMP ST. ROCH NORTH WEST PASSAGE VOYAGE PASSES

McKENZIE, John Stanley Garfield “Stan” - 92, Arcadia, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, passed away in Yarmouth Regional Hospital on Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Born on July 1, 1918 in Channel, Port aux Basques, Newfoundland, he was the son of the late Stanley and Edwina (Figary) McKenzie. His mother died at his birth and he was raised by his foster parents, Henry and Harriet Feltham. The sea was life to Stan. At the young age of 14, he went fishing and trawling in a dory; this was the beginning of many years spent on the sea. With the start of the Second World War, he joined the English Merchant Navy and sailed on the SS Corner Brook to England. Later, he joined the Canadian Merchant Navy and became a crew member of the Kittys Brook. This ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat (U-588) off the coast of Nova Scotia in May, 1942. Stan and 22 other crew members survived by rowing in lifeboats for three days, finally landing in Lockeport, N.S..

Following this adventure, he continued to sail with the Merchant Navy as an engineer on freighters. In April 1944, Stan met Henry Larsen and in May, signed the oath of allegiance and oath of office, becoming a special constable with the RCMP. On July 22, 1944, Stan became part of Canadian history as the RCMP schooner St. Roch was the first to navigate through the more northerly Northwest Passage. As a result of this expedition, he and other crew members were awarded the prestigious Polar Medal (one of only 11 struck for this voyage). He requested dismissal from the RCMP and continued to work on various ships in Port aux Basques. His final convoy of the war was on the U.S. Joseph A. Brown (Liberty Ship) which sailed from Halifax to Belgium and back to New York. Stan worked briefly for Hamilton and Porter Machine Shop, and then served as shore engineer in 1955, doing engine parts and repairs for the Sweeney fleet of vessels in Yarmouth. From January 1956 to June 1975, Stan was employed with the MV Bluenose achieving his 3rd class engineer certificate in 1958. Due to heart surgery at the age of 57, he was forced to retire from the CNR. In 1972, Stan and St. Roch crewmate Pat Hunt spent time in Vancouver as consultants during the restoration of the vessel and later received a silver engraved bracelet from the city of Vancouver for his contribution to the St. Roch. In October 1974, Stan and his wife travelled to Vancouver for the official opening of the restored St. Roch at the Vancouver Maritime Museum. On October 11, 2007, Stan attended the unveiling of the RCMP Patrol Vessel St. Roch Commemorative at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth, N.S. Although he did not like attention drawn to himself and his accomplishment, these were extremely proud moments for him. As well as the Polar Medal, Stan proudly wore the 1939/45 Star, the North Atlantic Star, the Pacific Star, the 1939/45 Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and Clasp, and the 1939/45 War Medal. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 61 and “H” division RCMP Veterans Association. During his retirement years, Stan loved to tie flies and go salmon and trout fishing, especially back to his beloved Newfoundland. He spent countless hours working on broken motors and engines, getting great satisfaction upon seeing them in operation again.

Stan is survived by his wife of 60 years, Olive, his son Bill, daughter-in-law Patricia, daughter Robyn, grandsons Jason, Ryan and Sean; sister-in law Margaret Green; niece Heather (Preston), and grand-nephew Kristen. Visitation will take place on Saturday, April 16 from 7-9 p.m. at Sweeny’s Funeral Home and Cremation Services with a legion service at 7:30 p.m.. Funeral service at Beacon United Church on Sunday, April 17 at 2 p.m., Rev. Jim Bragan officiating. Interment will take place at Yarmouth Mountain Cemetery. Family flowers only please.

GARNER, Roy -- Roy passed peacefully on February 27, 2011. He had a long and full life by any measure. He was born in Burnley, England in 1929 to a railway family during the waning age of steam. Although he loved the railway he began his working life as a engineering-fitter in England serving a short time for the British nuclear power agency then as an marine engineer for the merchant navy. It was his travel at sea that opened his eyes to the world and eventually to Canada. He was so enthralled with the place that he left his native England and settled in Ontario where he took up work as a machinist in a land desperate for expertly trained young men such as he. Always on the search for a challenge and adventure, Roy decided, through encouragement of a friend, to join the RCMP. After three years the bureaucracy of the Mounties got to him and he returned to a life at sea. On a return trip to England, Roy met his future wife Veronica and convinced her that Canada was the place for them to spend their future together. Shortly after their marriage they immigrated to Canada in 1961. Famously, as the story goes, Veronica asked where they should go and Roy said that it didn't matter anywhere would be great. So, with a map of Canada, Veronica closed her eyes and placed her finger on Edmonton. And so this is where they spent the next 25 years raising their family of three children; Steven, Debbie and Lynn.

During this time Roy decided a change of career was in order and earned his commercial pilots licence. Over a 12 year career he became part of the history that is the Canadian bush pilot logging many harrowing hours flying in all types of conditions in Canada's North. At the end of his flying career he had amassed a huge number of hours flying a DC3 and could land a Twin Otter in your backyard (you couldn't take-off from there though!). With a grown family and a still yearning for the sea, Roy and Veronica eventually moved to Victoria where he served with Ocean Sciences at Patricia Bay as Chief Engineer of the Parizeau and the J.P. Tulley. He retired in 1995 and continued to enjoy living on the Saanich Peninsula with his family and many friends. If you could not find him in his shop he would be down at the curling rink or at the archery range with the boys.

Throughout his life, Roy served as an inspiration to many as there was seemingly nothing he could not do. It was his refusal to accept "I can't" as an excuse for anything that inspired admiration to anyone who met him and especially his family. He said that he had a long life, had nothing to complain about and would like to do it all again. You can't wish for anything more than that. There will be no service however a celebration for family and friends will be planned for the coming weeks. Special thanks to the doctors, nurses and volunteers of the Saanich Peninsula Palliative Care Unit. Donations may be made to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation in lieu of flowers.

CHARLES DUANE DRIVER, (Duane) May 19, 1939 January 9, 2011 It is with great respect and sadness that we announce Dad's passing. He slipped away peacefully in Nanaimo Regional Hospital at 3:30am on January 9, 2011 fighting a courageous battle against dementia. He is survived by his loving wife Judy, step children Corinne Jensen (Al), Jim Mueller, Ray Mueller (Debbie), step grandchildren Brett, Jenna, Taylor, Connor and his sons Darren Driver, Dean Driver (Cindy), granddaughters Deni and Danielle. Brothers Don (Elaine), Dwight (June), Darrol (Jeannine) and sisters Dwila (Lloyd) and Arlene (Jack) and many nieces and nephews.

After a glorious 29year career (1960-1989) in the RCMP, Duane was grateful to be a heart transplant recipient in 2002. Duane was a kind, loving and caring man, always willing to help anyone at a moment's notice. An avid sports fan of hockey, curling and golf, but only surpassed by his love of cooking (everyone was always accused of stealing his recipes) and gardening alongside his wife, Judy. Meticulous attention to detail when attending to his lawn, all others paled in comparison. The family challenge to outdo Duane's garden was a annual endeavour. He will be missed greatly by all who had the pleasure to know and love him. At Dad's request, there will be no service. Duane will eventually make the final journey back to the family farm in Osage, Saskatchewan. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Transplant Society and the Alzheimer Society of BC.

Celebration of the Life of Gerald Wayne Miller (Gerry) It is with great sadness that the family of Gerald Wayne Miller (Gerry) announces that he passed away peacefully at home in Fairmont Hot Springs in the arms of his loving family on Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Gerry had faced medical challenges over the past 6 years with courage and grace. His positive attitude, strong faith and strength has been an inspiration for all who knew him. Gerry was born to Bill and Mona Miller in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan on June 3, 1940. He spent his early years in Debden and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan moving to Calgary as a young boy. In 1948 Gerry was joined by his brother, Bill. Gerry graduated from Central High School in Calgary and attended Venture Military College prior to joining the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He was a proud member of the RCMP serving in Langley, Surrey, New Westminster, Regina, Sooke and completing his career as Staff Sergeant in Prince George. Gerry had a distinguished career in the RCMP and was awarded a Certificate of Honour for rescuing a man rendered unconscious by gas and lime fumes at the bottom of a 40 foot well in Langley. That selfless act typified Gerry's commitment to the RCMP and the people he served. Following retirement from the RCMP in 1982.

Gerry began a second career with the Province of British Columbia serving as Manager of Court Services, Director at the Prince George Correctional Centre and the Prince George Youth Custody Centre and completing his career as Manager, Health and Safety for the Ministry of Child and Family Development. With each career move Gerry took on the new challenges with commitment and enthusiasm. He was a lifelong learner who constantly sought out new opportunities. Gerry had a passion for giving back to his community. He was a Past Governor of the Kinsmen Club and received a Life Membership from the Langley Club. Gerry was particularly recognized for leadership in the development of Telemiracle, a provincial telethon in Saskatchewan which has raised significant funds to improve the lives of vulnerable citizens in that province. Gerry has also been a member of the Rotary Club of Prince George as well as the Masonic Lodge and the Shrine. He was also an executive member of the Liberal Riding Associations in both Prince George and the Columbia Valley. Even in death Gerry continues to give back through a bursary which is providing recognition for students graduating from Golden Secondary, David Thompson Secondary and Selkirk Secondary Schools and through a golf trophy which will be presented to a golfer at the Riverside Golf Course. Gerry was a natural athlete who enjoyed competitive curling and was passionate about golf.

The last 9 years of Gerry's life were rewarding in that he lived in Fairmont Hot Springs (on the first tee) where he loved to golf. Gerry's passions included a love of history, motorcycling, flying, curling and travelling. He particularly enjoyed travelling to tropical destinations where he could golf. Gerry thoroughly enjoyed sharing his passions with his family. The loves of Gerry's life were his wife, Bendina, his daughter's Barb and Pam, his grandsons Sam and Cole and the numerous family pets he and Bendina welcomed into their home. Family was important to Gerry and he looked forward to and appreciated valuable time spent with his extended family. Gerry is survived by his loving wife Bendina, daughters Barbara (Michael Cato) of Seattle and Pamela (Chris Bugley) of Nanaimo, grandsons Sam Bugley and Cole Miller-Cato, brother Bill (Suzette), sister-in-law Marie Rowe (Bill Cookshaw) and brother-in-law Richard Looy (Claudia Miese). He is also survived by nieces and nephews Cindy Beland (Mike), Rob Miller (Dionne), Lisa Marlin (Tim Free), Danielle Rowe (Brad Riehl) and Germaine Miese-Looy (Mark Craig) as well as great nieces and nephews Jack Marlin, Justin Beland, Nathalie Beland, Benett Miller and Nolen Miller. Gerry was predeceased by his former wife Gail, his daughter Kristine Leigh, his parents Bill and Mona and his mother and father-in-law Dorothy and Mart Looy. Gerry will forever be remembered as a selfless, generous man with a tremendous sense of humour and a passion for life. He had a 'larger than life' presence, a ready laugh and he cared deeply about his family, friends and community.

A Celebration of Gerry's Life was held at Christ Church Trinity in Invermere, BC on Saturday, December 18, 2010. In lieu of flowers Gerry has requested that donations be made to the Canadian Association for Community Living (www.CACL.ca) or ICAN, Invermere Companion Animal Network (www.icanhelpapet.com).
