Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryHOWARD JAMES ELLIOTT It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Howard James Elliott on March 10, 2016 at the Hamlets Care Home in Penticton, BC. Howard had a stroke in December 2014 and was in Seven Oaks Hospital for about two months and then went into a care home in Winnipeg. Howard's wife, Vicki, died of a heart attack on October 4, 2015, so on October 18, 2015, his son Bob moved him from Winnipeg to the Hamlets. Howard leaves behind to celebrate his life his son Bob, grandchildren Kara McNair and partner Bill McTeer; Jeffery Elliott, wife Jennifer and two great-grandsons, Thomas and Andrew; Colleen Elliott and Sean Elliott; his son Doug of Melbourne, Australia, wife Denise and granddaughters Louise, Nicole and Danielle; his brother Don and wife Trish; and his sister Betty; plus numerous nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his parents, his wife of 25 years, Vicki, his brother Gordon, and his sister Eileen. Howard was a deeply religious and caring man, always willing to help family and friends. All who knew him, were indeed fortunate to have shared a part of his life. He kept in constant communication with all of his immediate and extended family because he was interested in knowing about their lives and was always looking for ways to help. He attended their weddings, their graduations, and never forgot birthdays. He also kept in frequent contact with other relatives as well. Howard was a proud member of Riverside Lions Club in St. Vital and held many offices with the Club, Zone and District and was a Melvin Jones Fellow. He was a proud veteran and member of the Ex Air Gunners Association and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 141, and a proud member of the Winnipeg Police Veterans Association. A great and loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle who will be deeply missed. A celebration of Howard's life will be held in Winnipeg in June 2016.

Mom remembers when Howard & Vicky would come to Hamilton Ontario, they would visit Mom & Dad and go out for fish & chips at a favourite place the 4 of them enjoyed. Dad kept in touch with the family by mail. We live about 20 minutes from the Elliott homestead in Allenford Ontario - Posted by: Diane Madden (nee Elliott) (My father was Howard's cousin) on: Mar 17, 2016

I am very sadden to learn of Howards passing. Howard and Vicki lived across from me in the condo complex and were fantastic, kind and loving neighbors who always lent a hand when needed. I met Howards son at Vickis wake and he was a fine gentleman who spoke proudly of not only Vicki but his father. My deepest sympathies to Bob and his extended family. May God give him eternal rest and may the many memories of Howard bring comfort and happiness to the family. God Bless! - Posted by: Lucia Cabral and Family (Neighbor in Condo) on: Mar 15, 2016
