EDWARD ALLEN WAUGH Peacefully, on Saturday, November 6, 2010 in Winnipeg, our loving Husband, Father and Grandfather, Edward Allen passed away, at the age of 90. Born in Montreal, Quebec, to James and Margaret, on February 3, 1920, he is survived by his beloved wife, Joan Carol; and his children, Allen (Aline), Linda (Mike), Steve, Jane (Monie), Tony (Jeannette); and stepsons, Colin (Deb) and Tony, as well as 15 grand-children and numerous great-grandchildren. Predeceased by his first wife, Evelyn (Metcalfe) and cherished daughter Elaine. In his 90 years, Dad did many things and accomplished so much. He served his country well in the Second World War, was shot down and spent 2 and one half years as a POW. Post war, he built by hand, the family home which still stands beautifully to this day, and has been lived in by his family ever since. Dad's loves in later life were sketching, crosswords, building his backyard deck, designing and overseeing the creation of his dream pergola, patio and gardens. Our family wants to especially thank his nephrologist, Dr. Lisa Miller for giving us one last year with Dad, which included his 90th birthday, a glorious summer and a fun Thanksgiving. As well, thanks go to Trish and the efforts of the W.R.H.A. Palliative Care Unit for Dad's daily needs. He will be sadly missed by all who loved him, and we will carry his memories and humour with us always. In accordance with Dad's wishes, cremation has taken place, and a private family service is planned. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Dad's favourite cause, Darcy's A.R.C., 730 B Century Street, Winnipeg, MB R3H 0M1. Chapel Lawn 885-9715
