CECIL JOSEPH MCCAIG It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Cecil Joseph McCaig at home on Tuesday, September 13, 2005. Cecil was born on May 4, 1929 in Eden, MB. He was predeceased by his mother and father, Rose and Martin McCaig; sisters, Bernice Loxton, Cecile Janik, Helen Levandoski, Mona Fisher; and brothers, Tony, John and Mark McCaig. Cecil will be sadly missed by his wife Eleanor of 54 years; his daughters, Valerie (Bobby), Karen (Mike), Sherry (Brian); son Randy (Dolly); and his pride and joy granddaughter Charlene (Charles); sisters, Ruth (Steve) of Trail, BC, Emily (Norman) of Rancho Cucamonga, CA and Effie Nickart of Neepawa, MB; numerous nieces and nephews and his brothers and sisters at Kingdom Hall. Cecil was employed with Standard Dairies and the Liquor Control Commission before he went into his own catering business. Cecil's life revolved around his family and his ministry as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. He was an avid handyman and gardener who loved to share his garden vegetables with friends and neighbours. He had a keen sense of humour and liked to joke around with everyone he met. He had a passion for travelling in his motor home throughout Canada and the United States. Funeral services will be held Saturday, September 17 at the Kingdom Hall, East Side, 1060 Wolever Ave., at 1:00 p.m. and burial with reception to follow at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave. Our family would like to thank the Concordia Hospital Staff and Dr. Mohammed for all their care and support. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation, Suite 200, 6 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6. Cecil looked forward to the fulfilment of the scripture at Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Until then he has ...fallen asleep (1 Corinthians 15:6).
