RALPH HAROLD MATTSON We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Ralph Mattson at the Deer Lodge Centre on October 11, 2006. Left to cherish his memory are his daughter Karen (Gerald); son Dale (Karen); grandsons, Corey and Matthew; brother Ronny; former wife Doris and many other friends and relatives. He loved baseball and even played for the Greenville Bucks of the National Baseball League in Mississippi, until an injury occurred. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Navy from January, 1951 until January, 1956 and proudly served on the Athabaskan during the Korean War. He worked as a sales representative with Johnston Terminals for many years until his retirement and was a longtime member of the Fort Rouge Legion where he had made many friends. Upon his request, no service will be held. A family interment will take place at the Brookside Cemetery-Military Section on October 25 at 2:00 p.m. We would also like to thank the staff of Deer Lodge Centre for their kindness and patience. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ralph's memory to the Manitoba Lung Association. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
