ROY EVERETT STORIE On Sunday, June 27, 2010, Roy Storie passed away at the MacGregor Personal Care Home. He will be lovingly missed by his wife Gwen; two daughters Betty (Wayne) Jones and Terri (Dwayne) Sperle; one son Ross (Carmen) and her daughter Halley, granddaughter Brianna Sawyer (Aaron Cassidy); grandsons Everett and Ethan Sperle; one sister Orma McRae and one brother Art Storie. He was predeceased by his parents Robert and Sarah; his first wife Alice; infant son Donald; one sister Jean Gilmour and three brothers Reuben, Keith and Percy. Roy was born on August 14, 1914 on the farm in the Forestville District near Austin, Manitoba and lived there for 92 years, until declining health caused him to move to the MacGregor Personal Care Home in 2006. He loved all the aspects of farming, especially working with his PMU horses, and his very clever cattle dog, Pud. He was a willing community worker, serving on various boards and committees, and volunteering his help at many events throughout the years. He liked to go for Sunday drives, play pool, curl, dance, play cards, and enjoy coffee with friends. Heartfelt thanks are extended to Dr. Samuels, the nurses and entire staff of MacGregor Personal Care Home for the wonderful care given to Roy. He loved all of you and greatly enjoyed the good natured teasing and laughter he shared with you. Graveside Service will be held on Monday, July 12, 2010 at 2:00 pm in the Austin Cemetery with Shannon Bodnarchuck. Donations may be made to the MacGregor Health Foundation.
