GEORGE ALLAN OMAND October 11, 1934 - October 7, 2015 With great sorrow we announce the sudden passing of our Dad, Papa, brother and uncle. Our dad was predeceased by the love of his life, married for 60 years, our mom Dell, who passed away June 21, 2014. He is mourned by son Jack (Debbie); daughters Marj (Brian), Charlene (Jim), Susan (John), Pattie and Bonnie (Greg). He was a brother to Mary, Gordon and Frank. Papa has 12 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews. Dad was the first paper boy in Churchill, MB. He was also a 60 year member of the UA Local 254. He was very proud of that. In September our dad celebrated 42 years of sobriety. He was a grumpy bear but he loved and was loved by so many. Cremation has taken place and there will be no service. Love ya forever.
