WILLIAM EDWIN LINDAL March 18, 1915 - March 15, 2008 Peacefully on March 15, 2008, surrounded by his loving family, our beloved Dad and Audie passed away at the age of 92. He was predeceased in 2001 by Kay, his beloved wife of 59 years. Dad will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Joy (Frank) Novotny and Judy (Ron) Pisiak; grandchildren, Shawn (Wendy), Krista (Mark), Katrina and Laura; great-grandchildren, Seth and Willow; sisters-in-law, Vi, Laura, Polly, Lee, Myrtle; brothers-in-law, Ben (Gail), and numerous, nieces, nephews and their families.

Dad was an accomplished finishing carpenter by trade, who served in the Air Force during the Second World War and ended his career at the Department of Public Works. He was really proud of his large well-equipped workshop at the Main Post Office. Even though he was retired he continued to apply his trade doing work for family and friends. He was a life-long member of the St. Vital Legion, where Mom and Dad both enjoyed Saturday Bingo and especially Saturday Night dancing with their many friends. Dad enjoyed hunting and fishing his whole life and at the age of 92 took up another pastime painting pictures. Thank you to the caring Home Care workers that allowed our Dad to stay in his home all these years. Thanks to all the nursing staff at the Victoria General Hospital during his final journey.
