CHARLES CARL SCHILLE
Date of Passing: Nov 30, 2013
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCHARLES CARL SCHILLE 1925 - 2013 After a lengthy and difficult struggle with Alzheimer's, Charlie died peacefully on November 30, 2013. He will be reunited with his beloved wife Bev who passed away in 2010. Charlie was born on a farm in Scott, SK and always remained a country boy at heart. He was fortunate to have a twin sister Charlotte. Many of the qualities that made him a loving and thoughtful partner to Bev, were learned from his mother and sisters. Charlie was a man of few needs and always placed others before himself. Most importantly, he was a man of deeply held principles and beliefs. He truly lived his life according to these. He was energetically committed to sustainable development cooperative management and social justice. Charlie and Bev were married for over 50 years and were completely devoted to one another. They were a shining example of what a marriage should be. Together, they had a deep and abiding faith, a desire to help people, and a vocation to serve. Charlie spent some of his most memorable years putting his beliefs into practice in Third World countries with Bev always at his side. He was a loving, wise and patient father who led by example of a life well lived. He was a remarkable grandfather and great-grandfather. He forged many special and magical memories with his grandchildren. He could still go down the slide with the great-grandchildren well into his 80s! He will be forever cherished by his children Lynn (Guy), Pam, and Dale (Diane), grandchildren Courtney (Roland), Brittany (Adam), Rebecca, Keith and Kyle, and great-grandchildren Griffin, Maija, Reyna, Fenris and Dominic. Our family offers sincere thanks for the varied and committed caregivers who were woven into the fabric of dad's life these last few years. Boundless gratitude is extended to the Simkin Centre for the tender care and compassion, and loving and supportive community they provided. Thanks to Mosaic Funeral Chapel for their kind and respectful assistance. A private family service will be held in keeping with the family's wishes. Anyone wishing to do so, may make a donation to Rossbrook House, 658 Ross Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3A 0M1. This organization was near and dear to Charlie's heart. Godspeed dad. You are finally home.

Paul and I were so sad to hear of your grandpa's passing. I always remember him (with your Grandma) waiting with a smile and a hello at church. They stepped in and made me feel like I was close to home when I was actually alone for the first time in a big city. Thanks for sharing your special grandparents with me. Their love was evident and was an excellent reminder for my younger self to keep my standards high and wait for a good one. - Posted by: Suzanne Simpson (Friend of the Courtney) on: Dec 13, 2013

Am sorry to hear of Uncle Charlie's passing. He and my mom (Hilda Mckay) were cousins. I remember growing up in Calgary and Charlie/Bev would come through for a visit and I was always so excited to see them. My mom was the 'letter writer' in the family and the one who always kept us up to date on all the relatives. It was always an exciting time to have them stop by and see us all. I have some pictures of them on our front porch at my childhood home, and one picture in particular of Charlie holding my daughter who was 3 at the time. Charlie...may you rest in peace with Auntie Bev and I hope you are having a wonderful visit with my mom too. Condolences to all the family, Ann-Marie Madu ( Mckay ) - Posted by: Ann-Marie Madu ( Mckay) ("Uncle Charlie") on: Dec 08, 2013
