WILLIAM BLYTH 1929 - 2010 It is with profound sadness that our family announces the sudden passing of our much loved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. Bill Blyth was born in Scotland in 1929 and immigrated to Canada as an infant. He was predeceased by his parents John and Wilhemina and brothers John and Alex. Mourning his passing are his loving wife of 58 years, Aileen; children Len (Joyce), Janice (Hilton); grand-children and their families Lee (Jayme and Tucker), Betsy (Paul), Trevor (Lisa, Annika, Espen), Allana (Adam) and Shawn. He is also survived by his lifelong friends, Ray and Lorna Rybuck, their children Gordon, Howard, Sharon and families. Bill was a loyal and committed employee of CP Rail for 42 years, having served the company in Winnipeg, Thunder Bay and Brandon. He was a member of the Masons, the Scottish Rite, and a long standing member of the Shriners Oriental Band. Our Pops was happiest surrounded by his family at the farm in Woodlands or at the cabin at Gustafson's Resort at Longbow Lake where he summered for many years. In lieu of flowers, if friends wish, a donation may be made to a charity of one's choice in Bill's honour. There will be a private memorial and interment. Chapel Lawn 885-9715
