GORDON SCHMULAND October 8, 1938 - September 23, 2012 It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father, father-in-law, grandpa, brother, uncle and friend on Sunday, September 23, 2012, at the age of 73 years. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 51 years, Joan, daughters Brenda (Carson), Debra (Marc), son Darrell (Deborah), precious grandchildren Dennis, Shian and Brian, six sisters, two brothers, and numerous nieces and nephews. Gordon was predeceased by his two brothers, one sister and his parents. Dad was born in the R.M. of Brokenhead, Manitoba and as the eldest son worked very hard on the family farm which always held a special place in his heart. As a young man, Dad moved to Winnipeg and was employed at Manitoba Cold Storage. He moved on to work in the construction industry with Wallace Aikins, Kraft Construction and Paragon Industries. It was also during this time he began his own business specializing in concrete and stucco work. In May 2001, at the age of 63, Dad received his Red Seal crane operator certification and for the past decade Dad worked at Schmuland Crane Rentals. This meant the world to Dad as he was so proud to work alongside his son, grandson and nephew. Dad never lost his love for the outdoors and continued to enjoy cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowmobiling and tobogganing in the winter not to mention camping in the summer with family. Not only was Dad a jack of all trades, he was a master as well. He could build a house from the ground up and repair any vehicle from hood to trunk and everything in between. A celebration of Gordon's life will take place on Saturday, September 29, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main Street, West St. Paul, (204) 338-9974. We would like to extend special thanks to our sister-in-law, Deborah for being there for Dad in his hour of need. If you so desire, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in memory of Gordon Schmuland. Dad, as devastating as our loss is with your passing, it would have been even greater not to have known you at all. We will miss you deeply and you will always be in our hearts. We love you.
