WESLEY EDWARD SCHWARTZ 1942 - 2014 After a lengthy illness, Wesley Edward Schwartz, born in Morden, Manitoba, September 27, 1942, passed away peacefully at the Dryden Regional Hospital August 30, 2014 at the age of 71. Wesley was predeceased by his father, Edward Schwartz, mother Nellie Schwartz, infant brother Wesley, and sister Erna and her husband Garnet Lane. Remembered lovingly by wife Gail (28 years); his children Lisa (Cordell), Bradley; stepsons Darren (Sheila), Leslie (Karen); eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; brothers Joseph (Gail), Donald (Stephanie), Ervin (Maureen), Robert (Sheilagh), Kenneth (Marlene), and sister Lorna (Robert). Wesley was close to his many nieces and nephews, especially close to Dana who spent much time with him during his illness. Wesley's passion was long haul truck driving, which he began when he was 18 and continued until age 68. During this time, he worked for Shadow Lines for 28 years. In his retirement, he enjoyed watching TV, and sitting on his deck watching nature. He made lots of friends in the trucking business, who remained true friends. The family would like to express sincere gratitude to Dr. Viherjoki and the nurses who cared compassionately for Wesley; also looking after Gail while she was at vigil at his bedside. Cremation has taken place and a private interment will be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba at a later date. If so desired, donations in Wesley's memory may be made to the Dryden Regional Health Centre towards their room renovations project through the Dryden Community Funeral Home, 249 Grand Trunk Avenue, Dryden, ON P8N 2X3.
