MILTON JOHN LARGY Milton John Largy bowled his final frame on February 26, 2008 at age 86. Milt was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec in 1921, marrying Dorothy Jean Learned, who predeceased him by 17 years. Milt is survived by daughters: Patricia Adams (Brian) of Fort Steele, BC, Maureen Johnson (Ed) of Calgary and Bonnie-Lynn Warner (Rolf) of Peers, Alberta; son James of Calgary; grandchildren: Andrea Johnson of Lethbridge, Alberta, Craig Warner of Vancouver and Kirsteena Beier of Hinton, Alberta; great-grandchildren: Dakota, Faith, Ashton and Aisha, all of Alberta; brother Gerald (Pauline) of Compton, Quebec and his good friend Lil Daniels of Hamilton, Ontario. Milt was predeceased by Jean, his brother Gordon (Marg) and grandchildren, Christopher Johnson and Chad Largy. Milt was an avid 10 pin bowler, a charter member of St. Patrick's Academy Old Boy's Association of Sherbrooke and had only one employer, CP Rail. He began working for CP Rail in Sherbrooke, transferred to London, Ontario, then to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he retired in 1983. Fiercely independent to the end, Milt passed away after a very short illness at London's Health Sciences Centre, where he received wonderful care. Cremation has been entrusted to Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road, London, Ontario (519-641-1793). There will be no service in London, but the family will gather at Ascot Corner, Quebec for a graveside remembrance, when the spring flowers are in bloom. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Milt are asked to consider LHSF-University Hospital, ICU
